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!

I think the singapore goverment thinks that drugs are for sugery use only not foe selfusage.I think people are very foolish take drugs even though they know they will get sued or even heavy punishments.I think people SHOULD NOT take drugs just because they are stressed or not feeling good.Exercises can help people who are stressed.I strongly disagree people to take drugs.I also think that the goverment is doing a good job imposing a heavy penalty.
i think that Singapore government imposs a serious penalty on drug traffickers because the government does not ant the country to be full of people wich are drug addicts to go round mad(crazy) and also reduce the number of people getting caught or fined by the policemen or woman inevery year.The governments want drug traffikers to stop what they must do and make the amount get lesser and leser every year.( From 6 Compassion)
I think Singapore's govenment imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers as drugs are dangerous and can result to death due to heart faliure. Drugs make you feel high and you might not know what you are doing. And when you start eating them, you will get addicted and continue eating more and more. After you throw up, your heart may beat slowly or stop. Then thats when death takes place. Some people take drugs because they are feeling down. Some take drugs because their drunk. If the drug trafficker are caught, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment or a death sentence. So thats the reason why the government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers
Government should impose a serious penalty on drug traffickers as they sell illegal things in singapore. It is dangerous to eat them as you will get addicted to it, drugs make you feel 'high' and you might not be able to recall what happen. Drugs are mostly eaten in nightclubs, teenages ages 14-17 are usually those who takes/sell them. If you are addicted to drugs, its highly recommended to go to a drug rehab center where you will get used to control your addiction to it. Some people in the rehab center tend to get a bit crazy and some might want to take the drugs so badly that they chew up their pillows ment for them to put their head on. If you take too much drugs at one time, most likely your heart would fail and die immediatly. If you have taken drugs you will be vomiting alot of times and you will get dizzy. Drugs comes in many different colour and shapes, the common drugs are Ice or Ecstasy. When you are alone in a restraunt or a cafe and you ordered a drink, then you needed to go to the toilet, so after you go and come back, do not drink the beverage anymore as people may have added drugs in it, same applies to food, do not leave your food and come back to eat, it is very risky. So it is recommended to never EVER try to take drugs or sniff glue or anything illegal. I wish everyone a joyous and sucsessful new year.
新年快乐，身体健康，年年有鱼！

There is alot of people bringing illegal drugs to Singapore.Some of them were so cruel, they even operated someone and put packs of drug in them,when they reach Singapore they operate the person again to take the drugs out.They want to make big money by selling drugs, but what's the point of taking drugs?All they do is make your body unhealthy, will feel uncomfortable when not having drugs and will end up in jail.There are actually alot of things that contain drugs like medicines, alcohol, cigarette and nail polish.drugs are marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, crystal meth, and heroin.So everyone do not take drug or smoke it will harm your harm your body and will make you go to jail
It depends how many drugs you are dealing with, what kind of drugs they are, whether their illegal and who you are selling them to but most of the time I think it's jail for at least 5 years Wasting time and throwing people in jail. It's another failed attempt at prohibition.
Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous biochemical by being introduced from outside the organism.] For example, insulin is a hormone that is synthesized in the body; it is called a hormone when it is synthesized by the pancreas inside the body, but if it is introduced into the body from outside, it is called a drug. Many natural substances, such as beers, wines, and psychoactive mushrooms, blur the line between food and recreational drugs, as when ingested they affect the functioning of both mind and body (are actually produced by the human body in trace amounts
Drugs can kill and be very harmful.If you get addicted to it, it would be very difficult to stop.Drugs can be harmful in many ways: drugs can damage the brain,dull your senses,alter your senses of alertness,etc.
Sniffing glue is also taking drugs.Drugs can also cause you to be stress.
The Singapore Goverment does not want youngsters like us to take in drugs because it can cause us stress and we cannot concentrate on our studies.
Drugs are the world's most illegal activity.It mainly make youths and mans who are addicted to smoking.Drugs might keep drugs addicters in jail for more than 8-9 years in Singapore. It is absolutely right to impose heavy penalties on drug traffickers .Drug traffickers should be experience the causes for taking drugs every of second of their life .By law,this should be handed over to the minister of health .I wish Singapore is the only country in the ASEAN to not have drug traffickers.Thank you
I think they take it seious because drug trcfficker will do anything to bring drug to Singapore.I don't know why they will want to bring drug here.They will sentence you to jail or finded up to $20 000.I cannot believe that three people was caught for bring drug to Singapore.It's very sad that this thing is happening here in Singapore.I think that the goverment will do whatever it takes to catch all the drug smugglers.I think they are doing this to make legally money.If you get caught you will just lose money again because you were finded.I think people should stop bring legal drugs to Singapore and the other city because the numder of legal drug smugglers are getting more and more.
Drugs does not serve any goodness to us and can harm other people without knowing what is going to happen."I heard that death sentences have continued to be mandatorily imposed in Singapore,mostly for drug-related offences and mainly against foreign nationals" My dad said.
"Goverment does not want the people to gt addicted to it," My mum said "drugs equals to voilence resulted to death." I strongly disagree that people should take drugs but unless it is the doctors prescribed drugs. There are also other ways to relieve stress like excercise,watching TV and go out for a walk.Drugs can cause many people to die,for example,somebody took drugs and end up killing someone that he or she hates.
So don't take drugs if you know whats good for you.

Hi everyone
I think that more people in singapore are buying illegal drugs as drugs causes people having health problem.Polices tries to stop drug dealers which sells illegal drugs to people,so that no one would take drugs and have health problem.I think that illegal drugs are getting much more poweful and addctive as more people are addicted.Drug dealers distribute dangerous sustances like "Ice" and heroin and greater quantities were seized last year,2011 more than previous year,2010 I think that Singapore goverment who gives death sentence penalty to people who sell drugs or take drugs so that other people selling drugs and taking drugs would not dare to take or sell drugs anymore or else they will get a death sentence penalty.

The singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers as it is illegal to bring in drugs to Singapore,such as Ice,Heroin,and thousands more.
I think the singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers is because these dangerous drug methamphetamine, also known as "Ice" or "crystal meth" is powerful and addictive.

• I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty or drug traffickers, because drugs are harmful. They are also illegal in Singapore, although in some countries its not illegal. But the Singapore law does not this not take this lightly, the consequence for drug trafficking is hanging. Most of the drugs are addictive and powerful, one of the drugs is methamphetamine or so called "ice". The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) has step up on drug trafficking. Most of the penalty will be death because the law does not take it lightly. But if the trafficker is a minor the law will be lighten.

I think the singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because the government wants to use one person to convince all drug traffickers to stop if not they will be charge with a serious penalty.I think the government's idea is great! The government also put up signs in pulbic saying "DrUGS TAkE OvER YOUR LIFE". They are some advetisment that are on some pillars of our school canteen saying " Dance YOUR WAy OUT OF DRugs"

Drugs is very harmful. Some drugs,however are usefu.They are used by doctors to make the patients 'sleeop" before the operation. They are put to "sleep" so that they will not feel the pain during the operation. Some people in the olden days take opium and nowaday people take drugs. These drugs are harmful and will usually get addicted to it. They will not be able to quit the habit and they will do almost anything to get the drugs. Some of them will smuggle drugs into Singapore. More and more people get addicted to it. When adult get addicted it wil affect his family and when teenagers get addicted they will cause problem to our society. In view of this problem, our Singapore goverment have to impose heavy penalties on drug traffickers because drugs is banned in Singapore.
I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because they strongly disencourage people to take drugs. Drugs are dangerous when used in the wrong hands as it may cause one's health to deteriorate and if taken too much will lead to death. Drugs can also cause people to commit some ridiculous acts such as walking on the edge of the building,laughing uncontrollably and walking on the road without knowing.I think people should start using drugs appropriately.For example,using it to cure patients in hospitals.In my opinion of using drugs,doctors are the ones who have the rights to use it as they have to save lives during surgeries.They made the patients 'sleep' before performing surgeries on them so that the patients will not feel the pain so much.I think that this is appropriate as they are putting drugs to good use,not like those who are putting themselves in danger.

I think that the Singapore Government imposes a death penalty on drug traffickers because drugs are harmful. The reason why government imposes death penalty is to convince all drug traffickers to stop if not they will be charged with a serious penalty. Drugs are the world's most illegal activity. Drugs are dangerous. They can cause harm to our bodies, and may cause addiction. It not only cause problems at work, home, school, it leaves us feeling isolated and helpless. Drugs can ruin many people's lives. Most importantly, it can lead to death.
I think the durg traffickers use drug to harm other people so the singapore goverment imposes a serious penalty. Some people after eating the drug their vision may get blur and it may lead to an accident. Drug traffickersuse it as a harnful ,weapon instead of useful weapon so thats why singapore goverment imposes a serious penatly. But if you use it for medicine to cure people it will be good on the other hand drug traffickers use it for bad porpose. I think the singapore goverment want to remove threats from singapore. I think we cannot afford to lose our manpower. Lim zi jin(6compassion)
There are two types of drugs,harmful and useful.Useful drugs are types of medicine that are used to curing people who are infected with disease or sick.There are also useful drugs that are used in surgery.The most famous one was the sleeping pills.These drugs put people to sleep so that they would not be shock,disgusted or feel the pain.The sleeping pills can lay people in deep sleep till they can't wake up to eat food or to drink water.Soon,harmful drugs were created to reduce stress,this idea was gave to the British to create cigarettes for making money.Once you are addicted to harmful drugs you can't stop even if you want to can conclude that cigarettes are a type of drugs as it reduce stress and and can kill as tar from the cigarettes filled up the lungs.This prevent you from breathing and the next thing that happen is that you passed away.The Singapore government wanted to prevent this as they think that it is harmful to our body although it cures a problem.Some people do secret meeting for sale of drugs.They are known as drugs dealers.Police and enforcers are now tracking down drug dealers to stop this problem so that the amount of people taking drugs to decrease.There are also programs to solve the problem
I think Singapore government imposes a serious penalty as there have been many people taking drugs.Many people took the drugs methamphetamine and heroin last year.90 per cent of the drug abusers were arrested for taking methamphetamine and heroin last year. The government imposes a serious penalty as a Singaporean was suspected of trafficking drugs at the Woodlands checkpoint in a green Singapore-registered car.The person arrested was a 49-year old Singaporean.The government found out that the Singaporean had about 1 kg and worth more than $262,000 of drugs in the front console of his car.

I think people should stop taking drugs because they are harmful. Some kinds of drugs can really harm our body. I think CNB should catch more people taking drugs. Once a person starts taking drugs, the person can easily get addicted to it. There is a method to get rid of a persons addiction. This method is called the ''Cold Turkey Method.'' It may get rid of your addiction but you would have to through a lot of pain. Some secondary school pupils take drugs. We must always say''NO'' to drugs.. In Singapore taking drugs or selling drugs can lead the person to the ''Death Penalty.'' We must never sell drugs. It is important that our body is healthy and we must never take drugs. I hope that there would not be any drugs on the Earth one day.

I think singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because if the government imposes a minor penalty after the penalty they will still continue drug dealing and drug abuse.Drugs are harmful so the government is preventing the drug traffickers from harming the people.So in order to save the people the government must imposes serious penalty.
I think drugs are bad as it makes people addicted to it because it is opium . The British brought opium to singapore to sell to the collies who worked very hard so when the coolies take opium they became addicted to opium and they will keep buying it. So the British made a lot of money because they sold opium to chinese coolies . Drugs are also good because they allow the patient to sleep during operations . They will just feel nothing . Drug traffickers are not allowed because drugs makes people addicted too so drugs should not be taken by anyone .

I think it is because drugs are dangerous, illegal, addictive and unhealthy. Drugs are a waste of money too, it is similar to paying "for your own death". The government imposes a serious penalty on drug trafficking as the do not want people to go through this unhealthy phase.
By doing do, they hop people will want to avoid this penalty by stopping drug trafficking.
Jessy 6 Adaptability
I think that the Singapore Government should impose a serious penalty on drug traffickers because if they just operate someone and put those packs of drugs in their body, the drugs may harm them or even kill them. To let those traffickers to understand how dangerous is it to store drugs into someone else's body, the government should already give them a serious penalty. Due to the drugs the brought into Singapore, I think that the Singapore Government should stop this by setting the law, once caught maybe just be jailed for 3 years. Drugs can make people fall into a very high mode where they can easily do wrong things. Like cigrattes, they contain some kind of drug that make people keep on having a stick after another, so to prevent this things to happen, i think that the drug traffickers have to be imposed by a serious penalty so they could learn a lesson.
Drug are harmful but some r useful .some drugs r used to put u to sleep and some other stuff. if u sell drugs it is considered drug trafficking .which is illegal in singapore. the reason why is is banned in singapore is because it can caUSE health problems.To stop this mayhem the government imposed heavy fine for drug traffickers.
The punishment for drug trafficking is serious because the country doesn't encourage consuming drugs,abuse of drugs nor do they encourage drug tafficking. And the serious penalty will allow them to realise that the penalty for drug trafficking will be very serious and hopefully they will stop. It might also be able to warn other drug traffickers to stop what they're doing now even if they aren't caught,lest they really do.It can,at the same time,also warn others about the consequences of drug trafficking and allow them to think about what they are going to do about the trafficking if they are in it and will stop.

I think that the government imposes it because it is illegal and drugs could harm your body. The consequence for drug trafficking is hanging. Most of the drugs are addictive and powerful, one of the drugs is methamphetamine or so called "ice".
Some atheletes use drugs to win because they suck at sports.Taking drugs is a heavy offence and will be jailed as long as 5 years !
I think that it is ilegal as it is addictive
i think that singapore's government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers as drugs are very addictive and harmful to us. If the drug traffickers are caught,he or she will be sentenced to life imprisonment or a death sentence.If you are addicted to drugs, its highly recommended to go to a drug rehab center where you will get used to control your addiction to it.drugs can make you feel higgh for a short period of time, then you will start puking and vomitting.

I think they will penalty because singapore government does not want all those insane people to die just because of taking drugs. They are also illegal in Singapore, although in some countries its not illegal. The singapore government also did not want to other people to die just because gangster just because the are forced to. I think this penalty is okay' because this teaches all singaporean not to take drugs.

I think Singapore imposing a serious penalty on drug traffickers is very important. If there is a small penalty, like a $50 fine, people will be smuggling drugs into Singapore all the time. If the smuggler earns $3000 for smugggling drugs, they only lose $50 to the government. If we have a small penalty, Singapore would be a crime city! With a serious penalty, smugglers would not dare to come to Singapore. Drugs are very harmful. Maybe, some people think the penalty for drug traffickers is very serious, but it is to protect us from ever trying drugs. Overall, i think the penalty for smugglers is just fine. If we do not have this penalty, Singapore would not have come this far.
I think it is because it harms humans in singapore and other countries.Drug addiction causes people to turn crazy and do stupid things.It costs money and spoils people's lives,so if anyone sells them,it means that they want to destroy oter people's lives.

Drugs are harmful to your body and as soon as you take it you will soon get addicted to it.How do the drugs get to people?, who would be silly enough to bring it from one country to another?and what will happen to them once thier caught? Well the people who do it are called drug trafficers and they do it because they are so desprate for money that they resrot to such acts.they will be serverely punished they will be jailed for life.they do this because they want to warn other drug trafficers that this is the punishment and this is what they get for drug trafficing and hopefully stop them before they do it.
Drugs are very harmful,but they are still impoted and exported from Singapore and from other countries.This is illegal,but people are still importing drugs because people are desprate for money,but if people who are desprate for money should just work,and earn money other than doing something illegal because they may get hanged or get jailed.Drugs are harmful to your body once drugs are in your body,your body may not function properly?(i think) And as a result you may die...so stop drug trafficing,lets lead a healthy and simple life.
I think Singapore Government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because the government does not want people to traffic drugs in Singapore as they may influence each other and may allow people to bring drugs in and out of Singapore. This may also damage Singapore's reputation. Drugs may also affect them and it may be dangerous. If the penalty of drug trafficking is light, everyone may not be scared and dare to try to traffic drigs. But if the penalty is serious, they will be scared of the penalty and not dare to do it.
I think they impose a serious and heavy penalty as Drug Abuse is harmful towards yourself and others.After taking drugs,people will get addicted to it and will eat the drugs everyday.The drugs will make you go crazy and high. It will affect your health.Singapore will be dangerous if the people in Singapore take drugs. It will be safer if drugs is banned in Singapore and other countries.
1)I think it is to scare the other drug traffickers to not traffick anymore.
2)It is to teach them a lesson to not traffick drugs anymore.
3)It is for their own good as drug can harm their own health.
4)If the drug traffickers have children, the chidren might be used to traffick drugs.
5)If the drug trafficker have children, the children might get infiuenced.
6)The drug trafficker might be very sick after having some drugs.
7)The drug trafficker mght also die after having some drugs.
8)If the government do not impose a serious on drug traffickers, they will continue to traffick drugs.
9)If everybody drug traffick, a lot people will die or get very ill.
10)I think the government does not want a lot of people to die or get sick so they have to impose a serious penalty on drug traffickers.

I think singapore imposes a serious penalty on drug traffikers as drug are very harmful and can get people to be addicted.Once they are addicted, they will keep wanting more.Thant isn't good as if they dont get drugs, they will feel depressed and drive to crime. Ensuring a serious penalty on drug traffikers will ensure that other will be frighthened so they would not transport drugs.
Consuming drugs are bad for health,although people who traffic drugs may not consume the drug but will harm other people. Kids,who are ignorent may be tricked into eating it,treating it as a candy,not knowing what harm could it do to their body.Teenagers thinks that by consuming drugs means that they are very cool,so they consume without thinking twice. When a person starts eating the drugs,he or she would get addicted to it,and would start taking it non-stop,the money will then slowly disapper as drugs are very expensive.That is why the government impose a hevy penelty for drug trafficing.

Drugs are harmful and addictive which will harm our health.Taking drugs have a serious penalty and most of the penalty will be a death sentence.If one is addicted to drugs,their family will be affected and wiil cause problem to our society.Drug trafficking is worse than taking drugs as other inocent people will get addicted and will become another drug trafficker.I think that the Singapore government has done a good job for banning drugs in singapore which will save more people from taking drugs
Drug trafficking is a very serious offense.I think it is right for the Singapore government to impose a serious penalty on drug traffickers because you are encouraging other to take drugs.If Singapore government impose serious penalties on drug traffickers people who wants to be a drug trafficker will think twice as they know the penalty is very serious.If you even take drugs once it will make you addicted and you will want to buy some more by doing this the drug trafficker is gaining cash.Nowdays drug traffickers have different ideas to bring drugs to a different contry.they use foreigners and smuggle drugs using them.Please stop drug trafficking and taking drugs.Think before you do.
It imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because drugs are harmful to us and the country does not encourage us to consume drugs,abuse nor do they encourage drug traffiking. The punishment will let them realise what they're doing and hopefully stop. It might also warn others and stop what they have been doing. It can also warn others about the consequences punishment of drug traffiking.

The Singapore goverment imposes a heavy penalty on drug traffickers as drug trafficking can spoil our countries good reputation an cann also harm our citizens.People who smuggle drugs come to singapore and sell the drugs to teenagers who may abuse the drugs.When teenagers abuse the drugs they consume it therefore they will get addicted to it.When they get addicted they will need to get more of the drugsto be alert.Then the drug smuggling syndicates will bring in large amount of drugs.Singapore imposes a death penalty for drug smugglers. But some people smuggle drugs because they are in need of fast cash or they want to become rich overnight.Drugs that are mostly abused in singapore is ectasy and heroin. This shows that more teenagers are abusing drugs.Some of them can even die if they dont take drugs every 2 hours.Drugs are very harmful dont abuse it and dont smuggle it
Drugs are harmful to the people's body. Drug trafficking will get a death sentence by 200g. Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because it would Kill people and sentence them to jail. Some Drugs arwe useful to our lives. It puts people to sleep to sdo surgery, orperation, to not let them feel any pain or harm as they are sleeping.
I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because if they do not do that, there will be more people trafficking drugs. When those people traffic drugs,the will harm many people.The Singapore government do not want a country full of drug traffickers. So,to warn the others not to traffic drugs,the Singapore government have to impose serious penalty.

i think that Singapore government is does not want more people to take drugs as drugs affect the human body in a number of ways. so if the drug traffickers in Singapore increase, the number of people who consume drugs will be more. If we stop drug trafficking, it will be a healthy singapore as no one will even want to think of eating drugs. Drugs can also kill people. so stop drug trafficking now.
They impose a serious penalty because drugs are harmful.They do not do us any good.Drugs are banned from singapore as they are not good for us and will harm us in many ways.Drugs make us get addicted once we consume them.They will want to buy more of them.Buying drugs is a waste of money and should not be bought.Drug trafficking in very dangerous as the person trafficking it might die in the process.When they die their friends and family would be sad.That person might even ask his friend to join him.Their family or friends might not know their using money from trafficking drugs which is risking that person's life.i hope drug trafficking would be stopped as soon as possible
I think singapore imposes a serious penalty on drug traffikers asdrug are harmful to our body.Once taken,the person would not stop takking it.So,to stop people from taking drugs,the government will sentence those who secretly import drugs to the country.
I think that taking drugs would harm your health badly. Some residents take drugs just because they are feeling stress. Sometimes when you are feeling stress, you need not take drugs but you can might as well listen to some music or do something that will cheer you up. Taking drugs is an heavy offence and you might be sent to prison or even caning! Drug trafficking is illegal so don't do it. Sometimes when you are walking in the park or somewhere else, you might see some drug traffickers taking drugs. If you see them, try to avoid them or else they would threaten you to take drugs. You might think that all drugs are bad but you are wrong. The medicine we take is also considered a drug too! So do not ever ever take any bad drugs!
I think our country's government sent the drug traffickers a serious penatly as it is dangerous as it could cause some people's death or lives,may also get addicted or infected if you took too much of them.But the singapore should strongly encourage the youth not to take drugs as it could cause them to feel sick such as dizziness,vomitting and stomache.

I think the Singapore government imposes serious penalty on drug traffickers because taking drug is very harmful to our body and may cause cancer,heart failure and many other part of the body may fail too.Once you take any kind of drug, you can get easily addicted and you feel feel like eating when you have stress and it is not easy to get rid of the addiction.Drugs are usually taken by teenage from around 15 and above.Some people sells drug to people in Singapore and they will smuggle drug and those who sell to us, will get alot of money as it is very expensive. If drug is taken by lots of people in Singapore, many people will get diseases and Singaporean will sooner gaet addicted by all these drugs.The government imposes on serious penalty is because of our safety, he wants to protect us away fron drugs and make sure no one gets involved. That is also why drugs are banned n Singapore.
I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because drugs are very dangerous and may harm a lot of people. They may have problems in their health like cancer. Even if some countries allow drugs, you would also be in big trouble. Drugs are illegal in Singapore and if some drug traffickers transported drugs to Singapore, they may be banned, fined or even sent to jail for a life or death sentence. If drugs are allowed in Singapore, more people would be addicted and spread it to the whole country. I think the government did the right thing to ban drugs in Singapore.
I think that Singapore goverment imposes a seriou penalty on drug traffickers as drugs are very harmful. If the penalty is not very serious like maybe just a fine, many people will be smuggling drugs into Singapore. If the penalty is serious, many people will be scared and no one will be smuggling drugs into Singapore. When people smuggled drugs here and other people bought it and ate it, they will get addicted to it and then their lives will be crazy! They will be buying more drugs and when the drug smugglers sees thst, they will be smuggling more and more drugs into Singapore. That is why the penalty for drug traffickers must be serious.
Drugs is very harmful to our body as it may cause us to die. It is illegal in the country. The coutry also disallowed trafficking drugs as by selling them it may affect other people in the country and other countries, in fact the whole world!Drug traffickers may be fined or given a death sentence.
Drugs can kill and can be harmful to people.I think the Singapore government impose a serious penalty to drug traffickers because it is very hard to change and stop taking drugs once you get addicted to it.Sometimes,the consequences of penalty can be hanging or maybe death.There are several reasons why drugs can be harmful:Physically,drugs can kill you.They can cause permanent damage to major organs,and many cancers,illnesses and cardiac and circulatory problems. A person can endure a long and painful death from a terminal situation, or even die suddenly from an overdose, a bad mixture or alcohol poisoning.So I think the Singapore government have done a good job imposing drug traffickers.
I think they impose heavy drug penalties as they do not want Singapore to become a dangerous country for people to live in as drug can make you go high or go crazy. Taking drugs may also affect the lives of people around you and may put them in danger. Taking drugs will affect the person's health who is taking the drug.
Drugs are very harmful, and will affect peoples lifes. Once people start taking drugs, they will not be able to stop.People around drug traffickers, will get affected by them. It will also affect your health.Singapore and other countries will be much safer without any drugs. Drug traffickers who get caught might even receive death sentence.

I think it is to prevent people from getting addicted,just like they did when opium first appeared.There are many kinds of drugs.These include buprenophine,cannabis,cocaine,ecstasy,heroin,ketamine,lysergide or(LSD),methamphetamine,nimetazepam,BZP and TFMPP,mephedrone and of course inhalants such as glue.INSA,or intoxicating substances act,is the main legislation for inhalant offences.The INSA spells out offences involving intoxicating substances in relation to inhaling or using,supplying or offering to supply.The INSA also empowers the director of CND,or Central Narcotics Bureau to place an inhalant abuser under supervision up to a year or to commit him or her to an approved centre for treatment and rehabilitation between 6 and 12 months.The MDA,or misuse of drugs act,is the main legislation for drug offenders.The first schedule of the MDA is a list of controlled drugs which are classified into class A,B or C.The MDA spells out the offences involving controlled drugs and substances in relation to trafficking,manufacturing,importation or exportation,possession and consumption.The MDA empowers the director of CNB to commit a drug abuser for treatment and rehabilitation in a drug rehabilitation centre for between 6 and 36 months.It also provides long-term imprisonment regime for recalcitrant abusers of specific drugs listed in the fourth schedule of MDA like diamorphine,buprenorphine,methamphetamine,ecstasy,lcetamine and nimetazepam.
I agree with Mason. I also think someone should convince all drug traffikers to stop taking drugs.
I think the singapore goverment imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because, drugs are harmfull and can cause death.I think the goverment idea is great. If you smuggle drugs, there will be a drug penalty. But if it is a minor issue, the goverment will lighten the sentence.

There is alot of people bringing illegal drugs to Singapore.Some of them were so cruel, they even operated someone and put packs of drug in them,when they reach Singapore they operate the person again to take the drugs out.They want to make big money by selling drugs, but what's the point of taking drugs?All they do is make your body unhealthy, will feel uncomfortable when not having drugs and will end up in jail.There are actually alot of things that contain drugs like medicines, alcohol, cigarette and nail polish.drugs are marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, crystal meth, and heroin.So everyone do not take drug or smoke it will harm your harm your body and will make you go to jail
The singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers as it is illegal to bring in drugs to Singapore,such as Ice,Heroin,and thousands more.
Drugs are very harmful.The government is being verty strict as last year there were many people taking drugs.There are also many people taking drugs this year.There was a 49year old Singaporean who had 1kg or worth of $262,000 od drug in the front seat of his car.The 49 year old Singaporean was being sentenced to jail as taking drugs is illegal all around the world.There have been many cases of people taking drugs.

drugs are very harmful. Some drugs,however are usefu.They are used by doctors to make the patients 'sleeop" before the operation. They are put to "sleep" so that they will not feel the pain during the operation
• I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty or drug traffickers, because drugs are harmful. They are also illegal in Singapore, although in some countries its not illegal. But the Singapore law does not this not take this lightly, the consequence for drug trafficking is hanging.
I agree with Nathanael. I think drugs should be illegal in every country.
Im not so sure but i think it is because it is a very serious offence
Drugs is very harmful. Some drugs,however are usefu.They are used by doctors to make the patients 'sleeop" before the operation. They are put to "sleep" so that they will not feel the pain during the operation. Some people in the olden days take opium and nowaday people take drugs. I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty or drug traffickers, because drugs are harmful. They are also illegal in Singapore, although in some countries its not illegal. But the Singapore law does not this not take this lightly, the consequence for drug trafficking is hanging.
i think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drugs traffikeres because if the government imposes a light penalty,the drugs traffickers will never learn from their mistake and they will continue selling drugs to people.Drugs are really harmful.Once you take drugs,you will get addicted to it and it is really difficult not to take it again.So it is right to imposes a serious penalty to drugs traffickers.Drugs are also illegal in Singapore.So together we should stop people from taking drug because drugs take over your life.It is danderous,drugs might killed people.
The singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because some druggers in singapore made its biggest use of legal authorityto take drugs from someobody.There are more than 90 percent of all drug abusers arrested last year .They are trying to get rid of singapore drug abusers,and continue to curb the demand and supply of illict drugs locally.Some officers discovered a black plastic bagcontainig around 1.3kg of heroin hidden behind some flower pots.Another 3.2kg were found later under the car's floor board.The three suspected drug dealers are being investigated importing and drug trafficking.
There should not be death penalties in singapore everyone in the world deserves a chance. Our Singapore goverment have to impose heavy penalties on drug traffickers because drugs is banned in Singapore.There should be more rehab centres in the country.What i want to say is Everyone deserves a chance.
I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because drug is a very dangerous thing and it can cause us one life.Drugs are not good for our health,once you have a habit on taking drugs,you will be addicted to it.By imposing harsh punishment,the drug traffickers cannot bring in to harm Singaporeans.the government must give all the drug traffickers who tried to bring in drugs to Singapore a good punishment so they will not do the same mistake again and again and lei them realise their mistake.By doing this,the drug traffickers will learn a bitter lesson and will not dare to harm people in other countries.I hope all the drug traffickers will turn over a new leaf after the penalty and not do it again.
The Singapore Government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers beacsue DRUGS is DANGEROUS!We should not get addicted by drugs as it harms our body alot and it will our affect our studies .DRUGS obviously are not healthy for us,once we get addicted ,we will not stop taking drugs !!!Singapore Government should punish those people who try to bring drugs over to Singapore ,once it's out to the public,it will cause trouble for the other citizens of Singapore.I wish those drug traffickers will learn their lesson by being punished ,as this punishment will make those drug traffickers don't dare to harm other citizens.I wish those drugs trafficker will turn a new leaf when they undergo the punishment,this punishment will help to cause lesser trouble for Singapore and the other innocent countries...
i think that ther should not be such a heavy punishment because everybody needs a second chances to turn over a new leaf and stop taking drugs.
I think singapore goverment imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers is because that if adults take drugs, they will want money from their parents. If their parents don't want to give them money, they will start to be violent. Relationship may also end with a divorce. Children will also want money from their paretns. It is difficult to keep away from drugs once they take it.
I think that the goverment does this because they would think that if teenagers always take drugs, it would harm other people. 90% of the teenagers who take drugs are caught by the police last year while 10% of them got off scot-free. Some harmful drugs may cause people's lives if they take too much, so, in order to stop this "situation" the goverment decided to give serious penalties for these kind of cases. I think that what the goverment is doing is right as teenagers wouldn't loose their lives or ruin their future that may be sucessful.
Drugs are very dangerous in some ways. They can make you unconcious, hyper, restless and more. Sometimes, it may even cause you death! Drugs are known to be very addictive. Some will resort to stealing when they cannot afford for drugs. Long ago, drugs were known as medicine. As it has been abused badly, they do not use drugs for medicine anymore. Most people who take drugs are jobless. It is because they are very "high". Most importantly, they impose penalties for the sake of each and everyone of our lives.^^
I think the Singapore Goverment imposes a serious penalty because Singapore is a strict country. Drugs are dangerous things so I guess a serious penalty is correct. Drugs make you mentally and physically ... well 'high'. Drugs also affect your social life. So,to me,a serious penalty is good. When I type 'high' I mean like kind of like wanting to commit suiside and stuff like that. If you take the path to drugs...it's kind of digging your on grave. Ialso agree on Lennon's comment on this thing.
Singapore Goverment Imposes A Serious Penalty On Drug Traffickers Because The Drug Traffickers Are Spoiling Their Healith,When They Get Addict To Drugs It Is Very Hard For Them To Stop And They Must Use Alot Of Money For Drugs Form Their Salary Instead Of Giving Their Money To His/Her Family.When They Dont Give Enough Money To Their Family They Will Have No Food.So That Is Why They Give A Serious Penalty On Drug Traffickers..

i think drug trafficking is bad because thatb will make people crazy and xiao ....................................by the way,i love chicken rice!!!
Drugs are harmful.Once a person takes drug he/she will be addicted to it.All the money the person have will be used on drugs.When the person take drugs he become dizzy and start to commit crimes such as money robbery,shop theft, fighting and vechile theft.The person will fall sick after a few hours.Some drug tfaffickers influenece kids that drugs are good.When children fall into the trap and become dizzy drug traffickers steal all the valuable from the kids.If this happens where ever you go there will be drug traffickers everywhere.Singapore police force won't be able to control this.

people will go around taking drugs and u might go high or mental>people might even scam u with fake drugs that will kill u>
As it will lose crontrol of yourself and will do alot of weird stuff,it is like being drunk.And once you take drug,you will spend your money on drugs,it is like smoking too,And you will not do any good to you health,police catches people who took drug as they can't get a job as they are too high and they will not do any good to the country.So do not take drugs as it is very difficult to stop taking drugs
I think the Singapore Government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because if the government dosen't do this, there would be even more drug traffickers in Singapore and Singapore would also decrease its population as humans can't take too muich drug or else it would cause death. But, Some people who are innocent peoples, can also be drag into the drug world because of friends who are drug traffickers. I suggest that they should stay away from these kind of friends and take another path or route, Or else they'll end up in jail with serious penalty. Eating drugs can also make you go mad and lose control. So, I hope that Singapore would have lesser drug traffickers and healthier peoples, and then Singapore world be a more peaceful country
faye cheong say
the singapore goverment have to give the drug traffickers aserious penatly because if they don't everyone would start drug traffickers by now . they would start it because no one is taking action and they will think that they can smuggle in drugs anytime to the airport. I think the government should give them a serious penalty that is 15 strokes of cane and 3 years of jail for the not so serious drug traffickers. 2o strokes of cane and 10 to 15 years of jail for those which are very serious. The government imposes a serious penalty on the drug traffickers to stop them and to protect Singapore.
YO I AM FAYE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think that Singapore goverment imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because drugs are illegal and very harmful for our body.It not only can make people mentally and physically it also make them not able to do any activity, like working or studying.
To purchase this drugs,They need to have alot of money. A person who is very addicted to the drugs will do anything to buy them like example,Force parents to give money or even borrowed from loan sharks.If the goverement catch those drugs traffickers and give them a normal penalty like example a fine,or go jail for 1 week.
When those drugs traffickers come out of the jail, they will do it again.
However,If the goverment give them a serious pentalty,some drug traffickers who get caught might be scared to do again and turn over a new leaf.
In my opinion, i think that the Singapore Goverment imposes a serious penalty on drugs because, drugs can be really harmful to one's life, as it affects our daily life
For example, I am a drug addict.I take drugs almost everyday,as I am a addict.The cost of the drug are very expensive,so day by day, I will go poorer. Then comes the day when I have no money to buy those drugs, so i will risk myself to get those drugs by doing theft or robbing, which leads to stealing your parents money.
These example are very common to drug abusers who are broke.Not only that,it will affect your jobs, as you are high on drugs, you can't go to work, so when you take drugs, you are actually risking your life, and tearing your family apart, so in order to not let more people suffer, the goverment imposes a serious penalty, to drug abusers, but still, never risk your life for drugs!!!!
whah think the singapore goverment imposes a serious penalty on drug traffckers is because, if they bring drugs, many people will start buying it, and getting adicted of it until when they have no money left, theyn would rob, steel money, or do anything to get money in their sleves.And if one person starts to sell, what if a whole party will start selling em!! Drugs can kill, because you can get lung cancer and shorten your life too. and i think its right for a goverment to give serious penalties people could even get HANGED!!!
well, i guess my log is gone and thank you for ready this log of mine even tho it sucks :P

The singapore goverement will usually sentence them to death or live imprisonment.If the goverment is not adadment on stopping the flow of drugs,drug abuse will become more common which will cause alot of problems in singapore.
Drugs are harmful and highly addictive.Drugs traffickers exploit this point to make huge profits by charging drug abusers a high price.
Often than not have enough money to purchase drugs.The more addicted they are,the nore intense their needs for drugs become and the more likely they will resort to committing crimes to fulfil these needs.They might steal money from their family, they might rob others or do other bad deeds to get the money.
Drugs abusers also tend to lose forces which affect their ability to work which could affect singapore economy in a bad way.
This is going to affect the peace and secruity of singapore.
Therefore,I hope that people will stop trafficking drugs.
I think the Singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers because drug abuse does not only ruin the user, menatally and physically, but also the person's family, friends and others. A person will not be able to do any positive activities such as study, excercise nor work. And also become an annoying person to himself/herself and others. To purchase these drugs also needs a lot of money. A person who is addictive to these drugs will do anything to be able to buy them, including threaten and force their family members for money. This is the only effort government can do to protect its people. I hope that no one would ever try to use drugs anymore.
When we have drugs we will be crazy.singapore goverment imposes a serious penalty on a drug traffiker because they do not want singapore to be a ruined country.when people take drug,the country will be chaotic.when we take drugs we will not have money because we spent of our whole money on it and we will drug addicted.we should take care of our health too.people family will be brankrupt too.and they all will be high.and our heart will fail to pump.when we take drugs we will be going around people and stealing their money.drugs are bad for us
People should stop taking drugs.It is a waste of money and it ruins your health.Most people that take drugs get cancer.I mean,who wants cancer?Once someone starts to take drugs,they will get addicted.They will also do anything to get the money for the expensive drugs such as robbing peoples home,robbing their bank,bags and more.Once they start to rob people,residents will complain to the police and will start to be a police case.Then you will stay in jailfor a very long time.Who wants that? That is why the there is a serious penalty for drugs.

I think the singapore government imposes a serious penalty on drug trafficker as drugs are extremely dangerous,and may even cost a result of heart failure.It may also cost you quite alot of money.When you are starting to be acddicted at it,you may use all of your money.I think those people who takes drugs are feeling very upset and stress.I agree with the penalty because if the penalty is not serious,every one will be eating it.The world will become chaotic,so this is why government imposes a serious penalty on drug traffickers.
I think the singapore goverment has a serious penalty on drug as it is very dangerous.Drug cost you alot of money and if the police catch you have drug you may be in jail for a very long time or may be hang to death.when you take drugs,you maybe addicted to drugs and spent all your money on drugs.Taking drug are not very good as it will harm your body.
Drugs are dangerous as they can cause problems. Passing DRugs is also known as Drug Trafficking. It is a serious offence because if drugs are passed on from one to another, soon the whole world will be taken over by drugs.
The Singapore Government imposes harsh penelty on drug dealers because they are trying to stop people from smuggling drugs, warning people from smuggling drugs, warning people that if they do so, they will face penelties like: Death Sentences if you bring just 15g or more of heroine.
These drugs are dangerous which cause people to go bankrupt buying those drugs. Some of the drugs make you dizzy and even make you see images. Sometimes, you hear voices to tell you to commit suiside!
But many people tend to smuggle drugs so they earn money, but they are risking their lives as it is easy to catch people with drugs nowadays with modern technology.
I think that singapore CNB should post heavy penalties[eg death sentence 4 1g of drug]
but the coast guards can carry out raids on ships to check 4 drug traffickers
singapore should watch out 4 drugs
I REPEAT SINGFAPORE MUSTN'T LET THIER GUARD DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taking drugs can play with your mind or can make you do questionable things. You see things that are not really there and they are often scary. Drugs deplete your health and might be caught by the police.
First off, drug dealers are people who sell ILLEGAL drugs to people. Activities that comprises anything illegal are supposed to be brought to an end and people who took part has to be punished. Secondly, drug dealers bring hamr to other people. Such examples are: 1.When you are at the night club, they might slip some drugs into your drink so that you would get addicted to it and buy it from them. 2.When you are ordering food at the food court, they might pay the vendor to put some drugs into your food so you would get addicted and buy it from them. For the good of all the citizens of Singapore, I think this is why the Singapore government impose harsh penalties on drug dealers.
The Singapore government is determined to rid Singapore of drug abuse and they do want to curb the demand and supply of illicit drugs locally. Also, importing and trafficking drugs are getting more prevalent. More drugs were seized last year than two years ago, and they want to stop the figures from increasing. "Ice" and heroin are one of the most abused drugs in Singapore. Therefore, if they impose harsher penalties,less people will abuse "ice" and heroin and the number of drug abusers will decrease
Well......See, drugs are banned in Singapore,but some peopld still tage drugs.And where do they get it from?Drug traffickers!We have to be strice against these people, or they might keep doing it without fear.With a serious penalty, they will definately not do it again(Singapors' way is fool proof; they'll be dead.)Bearing these congequences in mond they might not even do it.
It is to remind them to never get involve in drug trafficking or dealing. it will also act as a punishment that will be remembered. Imposing harsh penalties is also a way ot reduce the numbers of drug traffior dealers since they know the consequences. WeiXuan 6G
Drug traffickng is illegal in all countries. Drug traffickers smuggle illegal drug that are very harmful and addictive for us. So the singapore government should impose harsh penalty on drug trafficking to reduce the number of drug traffickers in Singapore. The drug traffickers would also illegally sold the drugs to teenagers and adults in black markets. The teenagers and adults would get drunk or get addicted and would buy more.
I think the Singapore government impose harsh penalty on drug traffickers/dealers as taking drugsis dangerous and addictive. Traffickers/dealers are also illegally bringing in drugs to sell. 'Ice' can make people have dry mouth,increased breathing rate, increased heart rate and blood preasure, chest pains, etc. 'Herion' can make people have dry mouth, slow breathing rate, decreased heart rate and blood preasure, nausea and vommiting, etc. If a person take drugs, he or she can get really sick, so the best thing to do is say no to drugs!

Drugs are very dangerous. You get addictted easily and drugs are very expensive so once you get addictted to drugs, you will have to buy alot of them and if you come from a poor family, you will be penniless. If you are found with drugs on you or your vehicle, you will face fines, life sentence or death sentence.

I think the Singapore Government imposes harsh penalties on drug dealers because drugs are very powerful and addictive, they cost lots of money and they are exported illegaly which is very bad. Some examples of drugs are methamphetamine and heroine. They are the two most abused drugs in Singapore. 90 per cent of all drug abusers arrested in Singapore last year were caught with either methamphetamine or heroine.
I think it is because Singapore wants to be the first drug-free country. Ialso think that the government wants to protect the health of everyone in singapore. i still can't belive one can be fined up to $20,000 for just taking 'ice' and illeaglly importing it is punishable by death. i wonder, just why does people take drugs? Is it cause of stress? Who knows. On discoverly channal, i saw a show call 'what drugs do to our body?' it was pretty scary to know what drugs do to our body. Listen to my advice, never take drugs.NEVER!
if drugs are abused in the world,everybody will be killed as many people get addicted to the drugs,at the same time the drug addicts'family will also be demoralised as their family will be diisapointed that their beloved family member is gone and corrupted by the devastating drugs.
I believe that drugs are a very bad creation cause once someone gets hooked on drugs, it is very difficult to stop. Not only that, drugs are costly and might even make people broke. Singapore has been strict with the smuggling of drugs. The exporting of drugs can lead to up to 10 years in jail and a $20,000 fine. It might also lead up to a death penalty. I think Singapore had been so strict about drugs being smuggled because of the children here. As there is no drugs, we do not have drug problems in schools and no children taking drugs.
I think that the government fines drug traffickers heavily because if they do not get caught and the drugs are sold to other people, plenty of others' lifes are going to be ruined just by one tiny little pill.
Drugs, can make you feel 'high' or rather extreme sensation and they can do things unbelieveable. They will start waling weirdly and past incidents show that drug consummers usally walk onto the road and once a car heads towards him, his life is gone.
Thus, the Singapore government punishes drug traffickers by death, and can lead to ten years in jail and a $20000 fine. Just because of drugs, a person's life can just be ruined like this.
I feel that drug traffickers should learn from their mistakes. I also agree with the governement's punishment on drug trafficking. Death sentence, jail sentence as well as heavy fines are great punishments for drug traffickers as drug traffickers are indirectly "murders".

Drug dealers/traffickers are being hanged for a death penalty because if they are only sentenced for only 30 years in jail and when they are released from jail, they might not change their character and still repeat the same thing. We should ban drugs in Singapore because taking drugs is very harmful. Drugs affect your body in negative ways. Any type of drug that makes you feel "good" is actually killing your brain cells which tell you that you are feeling good, while the drug slowly kills your body cells. People are addicted to drugs because they mimic or stimulate the production of brain chemicals that cause feelings of pleasure. Therefore, the Singapore government should ban drugs and impose harsh penalty on drug dealers/traffickers.
In Singapore,there are harsh penalties for drug trafficking.if people traffick drugs,the penalties for trafficking more than 250g of methamphetamine is punishable by death in Singapore,while taking or being found with this or heroin can lead up to 10 years of jail and a $20,000 fine.For heroin,importing,exporting and trafficking 15g or more carries a death sentence penalty.The people in charge of this is the Central Narcotics Bureau.They are very determined to rid Singapore of drug abuse.They will also continue to curb the demand and supply of illicit drugs locally.The largest quantity of Ice the CNB ever found weighed about 1kg and was worth more than $262,000.I think the CNB wants to impose such harsh penaltiess for drug trafficking because drugs are very powerful and addictive and they want to make Singapore a safe and drug free country.
I think that the Singapore Government imposes a serious penalty so that they will never take drugs again. They are extremely harmful for your health and are also addictive. People should think about their loved ones and what might happen if they start taking drugs.The harsher the penalty, the better.No one wants drug addicts around them.
Drugs such as "ice" or "crystal meth" is very powerful and addictive.The number of drugs given out was a lot more then the previous years.
These drugs can make many people lost their job,loss their family.If government do not impose harsh penelty on them,the number of drug dealers will continue to increase.There might also be cases like people bringing drugs to Singapore.
In just 2 days,the CNB.Central Narcotics Bureou found people hiding drugs in the car,car's floor boards and more.This is serious.If government ignore this case.Singapore will not be so successful now.
Drugs such as herome and methamphetamine are very damaging to health. They can eventually lead us to death.Once a person starts taking drugs,he will become addicted very easily.However, a drug addict cannot work properly anymore as his body system is damaged by the drugs. As such, he will lose his job. However,due to his urge for the drug,he might resort to stealing and commiting other offencesin order to get sufficient money to fulfill his desire for drugs. In this way, not only is the drug addict suffering, his whole family will be affected too. Realising the damaging affects of drug abuse,the singapore government impose harsh penalty on drug traffickers or dealers. If harsh penalty is not imposed on drug traffickers or dealers, there will be more and more people taking drugs.Ultimately, many more people will suffer and eventually,the whole Singapore society may collapse.

Drugs are dangerous,it can kill and they are charged at an expensive price.Drugs are addictive and once you start, you will crave for more.The police should be catching as many durg smugglers as possible so that the others will stop.The more drugs you take, the more money you spend.So if you know any one that is addicted, talk to them, ask them to go to rehabilitation centres.So do not start drugs or you will end up wasting lots of money.
Government should pose harsher pelnaties, so that offenders would not do it the second time.
I think they should instill such high penalties, so as to prevent others including us to get addicted to drugs. Also, drugs addicts will steal or rob to satisfy their drug addiction. Not only that, but we may also need to go to jail and rehabilation centre and will cause much trouble to us. Dugs affects drug addicts in negative ways.They kill your brain cells and other body cells.
Thus, because of all these reasons, I think the government should ban this harmful drugs.
Gwendolyn 6 Graciousness
I think Singapore poses harsh penalties because they want to steer people clear of drugs such as cocaine,marijuana and other drugs.Drugs are harmful to the body when taken in big amounts.Drug traffickers export drugs illegally and sell them at high prices and since some people are addicted to drugs,they will pay anything for the drugs.With the money,they will and spend lavishly.
I think the Singapore Government made the punishment for drug trafficking the death sentence to warn people not to commit the same offence. they probably do not want anybody in Singapore to be involved with drugs and want to teach those drug traffickers a lesson for their misdeed.
Additional Info:
Death sentences are also mandatory for any person caught manufacturing:
>Morphine
>Diamorphine
>Cocaine
>Methamphetemine
People caught with at least half an ounce of heroin, at least one ounce of morphine or cocaine etc. are suspected to be drug traffickers and will face a death penalty.
Drug use is a growing problem among the teens and even younger children.We should not use drugs, whether it is heroine, cocaine or any other types of drugs. Drugs have many negative effects on one's health. Firstly, inhaling drugs marijuana is dangerous, as it has 5 times as much tar as tabacco. Also injecting drugs with needles can be fatal if the needles were once used by other addicts, and fatal diseases like AIDs can spread. Secondly, the addict will not only lose family members, friends, they will also lose their jobs! Without jobs, where do they get their money to buy the drugs? Hence, they will start stealing money from family members to buy drugs or even do many harmful things to get drugs. Lastly, drugs are illegal which you will spend years in prison for selling or using drugs. Selling drugs illegally can also lead to death, so we should not use dugs!

Singapore imposes harsh penalties on drug traffikers so as to scare the youth, so as to not let them follow in the steps of drug traffikers, but until when? What if we could stop drugs from being distributed? Posters, commercials, news, anything related to publicity can be used to let the youth know more about the consequences of drugs. Penalties like fines and summons can be implemented to stop drugs from being distributed.
People under the influenced by drugs will want more, and may even kill to get hold of drugs. People may be harmed,emotionally hurt, and will cause much commotion in the community, family, even the country!
Drugs can also harm your body.
Nausea, giddiness, brain damage, overdosage, hallucination, aches, urination problems, difficult breathing, cancer and even death.
Yes, it makes us very "high" when we are stressed, but look at the many consequences! Dont do drugs :]
in Southeast Asia, especially in Singapore, the penelty for drug traffiking is very harsh. I think it is partly because drugs are harmful to our body. But, I have a solution: In Singapore, in any event, it probably has to do with the strong government efficiency and effectiveness and weaknesses of any internal draconian crucial justice measures. And maybe it is to stop people from selling drugs in Singapore. Many people think that the Government should abolish this rule but I think it depends on what kind of drug and who they sell it to; like medicine drugs being sold to customers! But anyway, we have no say.
The government imposes such harsh penalty on drug traffickers as they do not want Singaporeans to consume drugs. Drugs harm our body by different ways. Such as: decrease alertness, concentration, and energy. Drugs use up most of our personal savings as they are priced at a very high price. They not only want to enhance our self-awareness of drug abusing, drug trafficking and exporting, but also want to prevent an increasing population of Singaporeans becoming drug consumers & drug traffickers.
I think the government imposes such harsh penalties as drugs trafficers and dealers ruin people's lifes. Each customer that takes drugs from them for the first time will get addicted and they will crave for more. And since those narcotics are expensive, they would usually have to withdraw money from their bank account and when that source of cash dries up, they turn to family members who would not lend them a single cent.After that, they then resort to stealing. And family members would be greif-stricken by them and most likely the family would start to argue.
Moreover,drugs have side effects and these include:dizziness,vomitting, hallucinations and more. And those side effects could cause death, which is something like indirect homicide.
And if, family members stop them from eating drugs, they would suffer from tortous withdrawal symtoms. While the drug dealers and drug trafficers are happily counting teir money.
So please do not ever take drugs even if you think you can control your addiction.
Drugs such as herome and methamphetamine are very damaging to health. They can eventually lead us to death.Once a person starts taking drugs,he will become addicted very easily.However, a drug addict cannot work properly anymore as his body system is damaged by the drugs. As such, he will lose his job. However,due to his urge for the drug,he might resort to stealing and commiting other offencesin order to get sufficient money to fulfill his desire for drugs. In this way, not only is the drug addict suffering, his whole family will be affected too. Realising the damaging affects of drug abuse,the singapore government impose harsh penalty on drug traffickers or dealers. If harsh penalty is not imposed on drug traffickers or dealers, there will be more and more people taking drugs.Ultimately, many more people will suffer and eventually,the whole Singapore society may collapse.

I think the government impose such harsh penalty on drug traffickers/dealers as they have commited a very serious crime and the government wants to make sure that they dont do it again. If i were the government i would have also imposed very harsh penalty on drug dealers/traffickers as i want them to remember not to commit the same crime again and so that they will not forget how much they suffered for dealing with drugs. Drug traffickers deserve to be thought an important lesson as drugs are very harmful to the body and sometimes may result to death and by selling drugs to people, they influence people and make people addicted to drugs too.People take drugs to feel good and happy but after that they may feel very depressed and will crave for more and as they take more and more drugs they will find themselves addicted to it. Drugs are very expensive and when people are addicted to drugs run out of money, they may come up with crazy ideas like stealing. They may even steal money from their own family members to satisfy their craving for drugs.As you can see, these drug traffickers really need to wake up and think hard about what these drugs are doing to their body and realize what a big mistake they have made. So thats why the government has to impose such harsh penalty.

Drug traffickers is against the law. However, there are still people who do that. People who take drugs are addicted to them. Once they are addicted, they would crave for more drugs. Those bad people who give them drugs want to earn more money, so they want those drug addicts to resort to stealing and robbery. The drugs are usually very expensive. Drugs come in many different forms, eg.in pills form or the injection type. Drugs dealers traffic drugs by sometimes secretely hide the drugs in frozen fishes or goods. Bad people will try to convince the innocence, and they will get influenced. Kind souls must do their part to sent those drug addicts to the rehabilitation centre for further treatments. Rehabilitation is very suffering, and that is a lot of hardships. So, whenever you see someone smoking, try to convince them to quit. If they refuse, inform someone related to them if you know.
Most drugs are really harmful to your body. Singapore is supposed to be a safe and peaceful country but if there are still drug traffickers out there, people's lives would be ruined. The reason is because drugs can cause all sorts of health problems. A few examples include vommitting and diziness. And the worst is, an overdose may even cause death.
People who had never taken drugs before might think that it is easy to quit taking drugs. But once you start, it is not that easy to stop. People who start with even just a small amount of drugs would crave for more and more drugs. Many people are addicted to drugs, thus they spent tons of money buying them. Drugs are very expensive and they would cause people to use up all of their money and become broke.
I think that it is rigtht of the Singapore government to impose a harsh penalty on drugs. This would prevent drug traffickers from coming into Singapore.
Drugs destroys a person's life by making him mentally and physically unfit.Drug addicts become a liability to the society.They will do anything to purchase drugs,including crimes like robbing,stealing,cheating and acts of dishonesty.Drug addicts hence becomes a threat to others.They will cause disorder and instability to others.The Singapore Government has to prevent drugs from being smuggled and distributed in the country.Hence,anyone found trafficking drugs will pay a heavy penalty.
A person found with more than 10grams of drugs will be sentenced to death.With such a penalty,any potential drug trafficker will hesitate to handle drug traffickers,the problem of drug addiction will decrease.Singapore will be a more peaceful country.
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!
The goverment is doing a good job imposing a harsh penelty.
Drug should be only used by doctor in surguries in proper dosages.
Durg adicts take drugs when they are depressed or stressed to get 'high'
one of the efects of drugs are halusination.That is seeing things that are not there.
