Please give Yong Vui Kong his second chance

Yong Vui Kong, a Malaysian from the state of Sabah, was sentenced to death on 4th December 2009 for trafficking drugs in Singapore. He was arrested in June 2007 and charged with trafficking 42.27 grams of heroin, when he was 19 years of age.

On 4th April 2011, the Singapore Court of Appeal, Singapore's highest court, dismissed Yong Vui Kong's appeal. He is now at imminent risk of execution.
