:marseysingapore: Redditors react to Singapore's execution of an "intellectually disabled" drug trafficker :!marseysoyrope:

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/ubqux0/hundreds_of_singaporeans_held_a_candlelight_vigil?sort=controversial

tl;dr - The "intellectually disabled" claim was probably faked

Tbh I used to think that we were way too strict on the drug laws but my opinions probably shifted from seeing one too many @911roofer homeless posts... :marseyretard2:

:#marseypoor:

It does feels a bit like reddit's not as antagonistic towards Singapore executing drug traffickers, I wonder why? :marseyhmm:

Malaysian drug offender Nagaenthran K Dharmalingam, who is on death row, was noted by the High Court to be "continuously altering his account of his education qualifications", said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Friday (Nov 5).

He did so "ostensibly to reflect lower educational qualifications each time he was interviewed", added the ministry.

The ministry said the High Court had assessed the evidence of psychiatrists who agreed that Nagaenthran was not intellectually disabled. This included a psychiatrist called by the defence, on behalf of Nagaenthran.

"The High Court considered the facts, expert evidence from four different psychiatric/psychological experts, and further submissions by the Prosecution and the Defence. The High Court held that Nagaenthran knew what he was doing, and upheld the sentence of death," said MHA.

Malaysian man with intellectual disability executed in Singapore over drug trafficking charges

The death of Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam has been described as a tragic miscarriage of justice after being executed over trafficking 43 grams of heroin.

A Malaysian man has been executed in Singapore on Wednesday after his mother's last-ditch appeal to spare his life was dismissed.

Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam was arrested in 2009 for trafficking 43 grams of heroin into Singapore and was placed on death row for more than a decade.

His execution sparked widespread criticism as his supporters said he had an IQ of 69, a level recognised as a disability, and was coerced into committing the crime.

"It is unbelievable that Singapore proceeded with the execution despite international appeals to spare his life," his sister Sarmila Dharmalingam said.

The 34-year-old was executed in the early hours, she said from Malaysia, leaving her family "extremely saddened" and "in a state of shock".

Nagaenthran spent more than a decade mounting legal challenges, but they were dismissed by Singapore's courts, and the city-state's president rejected appeals for clemency.

His body will be brought back to the Malaysian city of Ipoh for burial, his sister said.

Singaporean authorities did not respond to requests for comment.

It's such a vindictive and evil way to show that you're 'tough on drugs'. Singapore is supposed to be a modern developed country but then they have such a medieval way to deal with drugs that inevitably victimises desperate and poor migrants.

Wait till he finds out where PAP got their logo from :marseyxd:

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The symbol of the PAP logo is known as the ‘Flash and Circle’, characteristic of a lighting bolt surrounded by a circle. According to the PAP, the lightning bolt is representative of action, while the circle that of unity.

The earliest and most well known use of such a symbol was by the British Union of Fascists, a fascist, right-wing, british political party formed in 1932 by Sir Oswald Mosley. Incidentally, the party also made of the same interpretation of the symbol, with the symbolism stated to represent ‘the flash of action, within the circle of unity’.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/16841286422193053.webp

With Singapore’s British roots, and with the party’s founder the late Lee Kuan Yew having studied in the UK, could there be any significance to the similarities between the two?

Lee Kuan Yew has addressed the similarities saying

"I was aware of it, it was a decision made at a time when we were all young revolutionaries and were greatly influenced by the thinking and the mood of the time.”[7]

fricking heck i never knew :#!marseyspit:

It's pretty interesting because the majority of the PAP's early membership consisted of trade unionists. Their support was crucial for the PAP to win elections and they voted many leftists into party leadership positions. Lee and the PAP were also frequently accused of being communists by the press and other parties. The PAP only really became more rightwing after Lim Chin Siong (of Operation Coldstore fame) and his followers were expelled from the party in 1961.

I think most here know of Operation Coldstore and PAP's anti-communist stance, but maybe everyone here generally hates commies so I've never seen PAP's logo brought up and I was always pretty anti-establishment until I got scared straight grew a brain so I'm surprised it's not brought up more often :!marseyschizo::!marseyschizo::!marseyschizo:

Or maybe a logo's a really minor thing in the grand scheme of things to nitpick over :!marseyshrug:

I mean if the PAP exists in Western countries nowadays their policies would definitely get them labelled fascists by Twittoids lmao. The logo wouldn't even be relevant. LKY has always been clear about his anti-liberal (Western liberalism) stance.

Or that Singaporeans will be in any way upset over their gov being authoritarian despite the whole city being founded on such principles?

If Singapore wasn't a tiger parent state it would be rife with racial segregation and would have way more economic inequality. The idea of executing drug smugglers isn't even fascist, it's an authoritarian one which even Communist govs would agree with.

I'm of the opinion that some drugs should get legalized, like mushrooms and molly. However opoids and shit should have harsher penalties than we have now.

Seriouspost: If you've got a country free of drugs, you ought to kill as many people as it takes to keep it that way. Once that stuff gets in and infects your society it's impossible to get rid of it. All your institutions will have drug users or family members of drug users in them who will block any attempt to cut off the supply.
