Singapore Carries out Death Penalty

Singapore is one of the few countries which carries out death penalty for certain crimes such as murder, drug trafficking.

I read from the news that the one-eyed dragon was hanged on Friday morning after he was denied clemency by the President.

Many would think that it is uncivilised and brutal to carry out death sentence. It may even be barbaric in this modern society.

However, I think this is fair.

A life for a life!

Once a life is lost, the impact on the loved ones is immeasurable.
