  • Singaporeans are stupid. Singapore is an English speaking country but so many of these interviewees don't even know what the term "Mandatory" means. Lol.

  • @Saif0711 - you need seems to be the writer who suppose to be jail? well anyway, you stupid fool act like you know alot ,well then let us know your nationality so that the world will salute you either for your knowledge or your stupidity. COWARD and a FOOL, ASSHOLE

  • What if someone is proven innocent of trafficking drugs? By this I mean, yes, they had drugs on them, but were able to PROVE that someone had placed the drugs in their bag. What happens then? Who gets punished?

  • I know they're seeking the views of young Singaporeans, but couldn't they at least pick interviewees mature enough to know the meaning of "mandatory"?

    What a lame interview

  • Do you support the mandatory death penalty in Singapore?

    Me: No

    Interviewer: Why?

    Me:I don't give a fuck about the system,i will only care if it happens to me ar.

    Interviewer:Ok,do you know what mandatory is?

    Me:Mandatory ar,i think,I think,i think - Walks Away-

  • go Singapore the most lawful place in the world

  • the government wouldn't have to execute people if they didn't do it in the first place... I understand what some of you are saying; I won't fully feel the effect of this law unless it affects someone dear to me... but there's a reason why Singapore has one of the lowest crime and homicide rates in the world... I don't understand why some of the people commenting are calling us barbaric etc. because as you can see in this video, not all of us support this law! most of us are good people.

  • Mandatory means mandatory....no excuse. Means judges can't render a more lenient sentence. So if somebody plants something in your luggage w/o your knowledge, too bad so sad. Yer gonna die anyways? Bull $h%t. I won't be going to Singapore nor do business w/them now that I got that rather important tidbit of info

  • This is wrong,put an end to it,nothing right about this at all,it applies only to murder,period!!! nothing more to say besides cruel n evil law,the beast the devil the evil and also the ignorant pple will blindly support it until it happens to family.

  • @sukh2010 You correctly identify Singapores evil injustice. British Hero Alan Shadrake persecuted and jailed by the Singaporean junta brilliantly demonstrates this barbaric system in his international best seller 'Once a jolly Hangman.' From legalizing brutality with violent degrading homosexual rituals in the prisons to the repugnant mandatory death penalty these third world savages rule with torture fear and death so they remain in power. Singapore is no country but a contemptible corporation

  • If, for example, someone visited singapore, and some unknown persons somehow planted a load of illegal drugs amongst that persons luggage, and that person was stopped in the airport and caught in posession of illegal substances, would that person be allowed to defend him/herself in court and protest their innocence? Or is it a case of it being the mandatory death sentence with no chance to prove innocence?

  • @WhiteRoseRiotBoy i believe there would be a thorough investigation before any sentence was made.

  • @WhiteRoseRiotBoy

    The death sentence is only imposed upon conviction for the crime.

    What "mandatory" means in this context is that once the accused has been convicted, the judge has no choice as to what the sentence will be--conviction equals death.

    The accused would still have a trial, and, if it was found as a fact that the drugs were planted without his or her knowledge, he or she would be found not guilty.

  • Drugs can effect peopel negatively so if you have drugs we will kill you! that makes a lot of sense. Especially when you are killing people for things that are legal in county's that function perfectly.

  • Singapore's greatest is "clinicalised", it may be too great (economically, technologically etc" but Singapore has lost its "SOUL".Singapore was developed from a fishing port to a first world country but because the development is too fast, some Singaporeans still think like a third world citizen. If the govt would demolish the death penalty, some Singaporeans would cause an uproar but the first step is too demolish the mandatory death penalty.

  • The death penalty = state sponsored murder. I oppose it in all cases and in all forms as a matter of conscience and because of the nature of the society that I want to be part of; I am pleased I live in a country that abolished the death penalty 50 years ago.

  • these people are so ignorent i lived in america and just came here to fiend out that if i smoke we i die in many country a lot of "drugs" no equal death when they really arnt harmfull at all

  • It is shocking that almost everyone interviewed doesn't know what "mandatory" means.

    The death penalty itself is a human rights violation signed by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Only Asia, Middle East and Africa retain the Death Penalty for drug-related offenses. A majority of countries are in favor of the UN moratorium on the death penalty. Many countries have already abolish the death penalty which include the whole of Europe, Canada, Australia and many other countries.

  • @muckysock94 Sheltered citizens, stuck in a well. Might be a lil ignorant .

  • The people of Singapore are an oppressed people because of their sadistic government. There are mandatory beatings imosed on lawbreakers-even for non violent offences, and of course the inhumane use of the arbitrary and mandatory death penalty. The young people of today's Singapore can help change this society now known to the world as Disneyland with the Death penalty.

  • @butterflye2020. Nothing changes here, you have to be in government, in order to change things. Even then, only selected people go into government. Besides, were safe and secure, the laws insure that, its Singapore today or Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand tomorrow without the strong laws. People must pay the price of their actions that harm society, but also as a warning to other ill doers.

  • @malofications Not all of us Westerners feel that way. Some of us admire and feel jealous of your great system.

    Yours is a society that is stable, safe, and free (provided you don't act like an idiot and harm others). That sounds fair to me.

    You have a great country. Fuck that haters. Let them live with the violent criminals and drug dealers that destroy all societies that they crawl into.

  • @SpeedingStudent. Thanks, that's good to know. When it comes to issues like this, normally the only Westerners we face are those against our policies.

  • @malofications That is because most are pot-smoking marxist/communist idiots.

    Brush them aside. Drugs destroy society, and the dealers deserve neither pitty nor mercy for attempting to destroy Singapore. I wish the U.S. would adopt this law, would clean up the streets overnight.

    Cheers, friend.

  • @malofications No we hate Singapore point blank. I am Australian my wife is Japanese. We hate you. We hate you to death. We have boycotted everything that is about your country and all my friends too. Youy kill innocent people.

  • @newromantic888 Australian and Japs fuckers,, fuck you bitch ass..

    You will be put into death setence in the future in foreigin county

  • @malofications

    Non- death sentence is retarded

    Drug dealers and murders, Rapists must be put to death

  • @malofications No idiot. Innocent people die as well. Right wing scum. People who traffic drugs as evil as they are, are not trafficking drugs to Singapore. They are trafficking thru Singapore idiot. It has no effect on your society idiot. You are a primitive society. Monkies are better than you.

  • @newromantic888 - are you crazy? travelling throught through singapore does not harm singapore but harm the final destination citizen so what's the difference? are they not human? YOU BASTARD, PIG , FUCK U

  • Boycott everything about Signapore. The airline, the country, the products they produce. The people. We must as a civilized society stand up against these barbaric peoples.

  • this is real sad... these singaporeans don't know about their laws... especially the death penalty. I would think something like that would be well known in their country. Also, most of them don't even know what mandatory means... I thought most asians were real smart?

  • the i dont really care answers or textbook answers are really depressing

  • Is this a campaign against 'the mandatory drug penalty' or is it a campaign against not knowing the meaning of the word, 'mandatory'? I can't tell the difference.. No offense.. I think that a person's opinion no longer counts if he or she is that ignorant..

    Anyway, I do not support the death penalty for any reason. I'm not even gonna grace it with the word, 'mandatory' in front..

    It is not justifiable to take another person's life, even if he or she has committed murder..

    Thank you very much.

  • This is quite tragic...

  • Gah. Singaporean youth are quite brainwashed, ah?

    Also, the interviewer should be saying it acts as a "deterrent", not "deterrence".

  • Mandatory death is crazy. The burden of proving u r innocent is on you. The prosecutors dun even need to do anything. As long you are can't prove the drugs are planted on you or you have been set up, u r screwed

  • The definition of "mandatory" offered to the interviewees could have been better. It doesn't seem like many of the interviewees grasped the idea that "mandatory" in this context means "no judicial discretion to order a lesser sentence".

  • Under Schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Act,[11] any person found in possession of more than the following quantities of drugs receives a mandatory death sentence:

     * Opium: 100 g, containing more than 3 g of morphine * Any controlled drug (except opium): containing more than 3 g of morphine * Diamorphine (Heroin): 2 g * Morphine: 3 g * Cocaine: 3 g * Cannabis: 15 g * Cannabis mixture: 30 g * Hashish: 10 g * Methamphetamine: 25 g[12]

  • I don't support it I DONT SUPPORT IT!!!

  • as a fellow singapore i think its good, to act as a deterance, but definately the case needs to be investigated and all parties involved would be dath sentenced...

    so as to stop the demand and supply chain more effectively

    and whats with singapore's english, i mean hello mandatory is such an easy work, mandatory NS la....

  • Perhaps before making such statements it would be best to do some basic research into whether or not the death penalty serves as a deterrent (not deterrence, probably something else you should've checked before criticising "singapore's english").

  • ok my bad typos XD

    but i am horrible on that i know...

  • @KagariY your english very good meh?

  • not that perfect la, but its better then u know not knowing what mandatory is?

    i mean its a very common words used in SG

  • @KagariY Apparently, not as common a word as you think.

  • If it's a case of other people framing you, I think there will definitely be proper investigations. It's someone's life at stake, unless there's absolutely no confidence in competence of the authorities.

  • I'm more to supporting but after watching the video, it made me think again. Some of those people interviewed don't even know such a law exist, which means the drug trafficking law isn't really useful as a deterrence -- how do you deter people who have no knowledge of the consequence.

  • do you support the death penalty? no

    why not? cause it's killing people in general

    *faints*

  • Comment removed

  • Mandatory just means compulsory. It does not mean "over a certain amount"

    I would like to know how many people were interviewed to get this video
