Drug traffickers are people who smuggle drugs illegally into a country. There are various types of drugs that are commonly abused. For example, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and opium.
I think the government imposes such harsh penalties as drug traffickers ruin people's lives. The government is sending a strong message against drug trafficking as it has severe harmful consequences on the person who takes drugs as well as his family and community.
Every person who takes drugs will soon get addicted to it and they will crave for more. Coming out of the addiction is not really that easy as they would need to go through torturous witdrawal symptoms. Moreover, since these drugs are expensive, they would usually use up their savings fast and when that source of money dries up, they would need to borrow money from family members or even resort to stealing, which is an offence.
Moreover, drugs have harmful side effects on health. These includes dizziness, vomitting, hallucination. Some of the drugs make us feel 'good', but it is actually killing our brain cells. Do you know that overdoses can lead to seizures and even death?
So, to me, the harsher the penalty, the better it is, for Singapore and us!

Loan Sharks now Hunting Schools LRD pg 4
In the article, you read about the tactics loan sharks are using to recruit young people to work for them. Imagine you are the Head Prefect in the school and you decide to write a letter to your schoolmates to discourage them from working for the loansharks and to make sure everyone knows about this problem.
Dear boys and girls,
I am the head prefect of the school and I would like to share some information with you about loan sharks going to schools to recruit students to join their gangs. Loan sharks are illegal money lenders who lend money to other people. For instance, these loan sharks would usually give you a loan of five hundred dollars and demand you to pay back a thousand dollars due to the throat-cutting high interest rates. It is totally not worth it because you would have to pay back twice the amount you have borrowed. If you could not pay back the amount you had borrowed, the loan sharks would hunt for you. Very often, they resort to violence and threats, beating you to a pulp when you could not pay up. Sometimes, they would haunt you by going to your house to splash red paint on the door of your house. So, please do not join the loan sharks or borrow money from them. If you are experiencing problems with any loan sharks, it would be better for you to turn to your teachers for advice and alert the police for help before it is too late. It is illegal to join the loan sharks in their activities. Engage in healthy and meaningful activities at community centres with your friends and family members instead.
Yours sincerely,
Lie Zhou (Head Prefect)
Dear everyone,
I would like to inform all of you about loan sharks hunting in schools. The loan sharks are recruiting people to join their so-called ‘law enforcement team’, thinking of ways to lure you out of your house and make you gamble with them. Once you have lost all your money, they will lend you money and then charge you interest day by day. Some of them would even ask you to pay up immediately after a few days. If you are unable to pay up, they would spray paint outside your house. Sometimes, they would also force you to help them to smuggle drugs into other countries. You would most probably get caught by the law enforcers and given the death sentence. Hence, I would like to remind all of you not to join their association as they would offer you nothing but plenty of trouble. Your academic results would suffer and your parents would be worried sick. Spare a thought for your family and those who really care about you. Steer clear of the loan sharks.
Yours sincerely,
Nigel Tan (Head Prefect)

Legal Eagles LRD pg 5
Imagine you are the owner of a law firm looking for fresh graduates to join your business.
You decide that you will have to be innovative in order to attract talented people. Some of the innovative things you intend to entice people with include giving new lawyers special mentors to teach them new skills and giving them smartphones so that they can reply to e-mail messages from anywhere.
Using these ideas, craft a short but effective letter of about 150 words to convince these law graduates to join you.
Dear law graduates,
I am looking for talented fresh graduates from law schools to join my firm. Graduates must first produce their outstanding law degrees. In my firm, the starting salary is $4500 for graduates who have completed their National Service and $3800 for those without National Service. Although there is a difference in the monthly salary, the annual package the legal service pays is pegged to the private sector through bonuses and other forms of remuneration. The lawyers in my firm will also be regularly taught new skills and knowledge. They will also be provided Smartphones so that they can check and reply their emails from anywhere.
