Name: Spadea Ho on Dec 18, 2009Comments: I wish for a day in the near future where such atrocities will become only a history lesson for our kids, where lessons are taught not through fear, but conscience itself. No man should be given the power to judge and impose death to any other living person; as no matter what “argument” and “considerations” are given, such a decision is only akin to a flip of the coin. In Death, one can find no Justice, nor Truth, but only the Silence that comes after the end of a Conscience.Flag

Name: Pak Geok Choo on Dec 18, 2009Comments: Compassion and humanity is the foundation stone to gracefulness and charity. I am sure we will be a step closer to being a gracious society if we can give this young man a last chance of life - something he has learnt so earnestly to cherish. He has shown remorse and determination to do good and redeem himself from what he had done wrong. Give him a 2nd chance which this young man ought to be given, please. I speak from my position as a mother. I know the difficulties and pain involved in raising good upright children.Flag

Name: Amanda Phillips on Dec 19, 2009Comments: It is with strong consideration for the value of life that I am urged to uphold my beliefs. Value his life as you value your own. The gift that the young man delivered was a set up and he is being used as a scape goat for criminal activity.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 19, 2009Comments: The state has no right to take a human's life. Compassion should be shown to less fortunate, as in the case of this young man. I believe he should be given a second chance at life. We cannot change his past but as a compassionate, sensible state, we can give him a new futureFlag

Name: Jerry Ang on Dec 19, 2009Comments: I feel that a 19-year-old lad should not be hanged for a first-time offence of trafficking no more than 50 grams of drugs. He has a whole life ahead of him, and he can still do good to society in future. I believe that he knows his mistake and repents. His brother says that he is a changed man now, I do believe that. He had already committed the offence. Hanging him changes nothing. Taking the life of a promising young man is equivelant to murder, no less. Please consider the circumstances under which he committed the crime. It is not that I am absolutely against the death penalty, but I feel that it is simply to harsh to kill a person for carrying with him drugs weighing no less than a tennis ball. It is not as though he was a drug lord. We are talking about a life here. Do the right thing.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Dec 20, 2009Comments: Sentencing a person to death doesn't help him/her learn from his mistakes. Even more so for a simple minded young boy of 19 who just wants to bring home some money for survival, and not for luxuries like what most of us earn money for.Flag

Name: Harveen Singh Narulla on Dec 21, 2009Comments: Please, Mr President, exercise your discretion in Yong Vui Kong's favour. His conviction may be lawful but is morally suspect. Putting this person to death when even the judge convicting him has expressed reservations damages our society.Flag

Name: Lim Siauw Chong on Dec 21, 2009Comments: The details of his social, financial and educational background may not be unique, considering other past traffickers may also fall into almost similar underprivileged profiles. the possibility of being exploited as a naive teenager is also a common trapping amongst uninformed, naive youths. The angling of the clemencey should centre on the circumstial evidence, which becomes a case in point only when the final appeal ignore the new facts?Flag

Name: See Jia Fong Grace on Dec 21, 2009Comments: Abolish the death penalty on drug trafficking! It does not solve the problem of drug consumption, and may perhaps be only as effective in deterrence as other forms of more humane punishment. It is a cruel punishment that violates the most basic human right to life.Flag
