I am for the death penalty as it keeps people scared from doing any serious crimes,it is effective in fighting drug trafficking as said in the question,it also prevents people from doing serious crimes in Singapore as they are scared to do so. Some people are against the death penalty as they think the offender should have another chance, or think that the sentence is too harsh.
I would never kill anyone but I think the government has some valid reasons for doing so don't you think? Sometimes ,I feel that the government is too harsh. Other times, I feel that the criminals deserve death penalty.
I am for the death penalty.Some people might think imprisonment is nothing so more people would traffic drugs.When there is a death penalty,some people would be scared and would not traffic drugs or murder people. I think that people who traffic drugs or murder people should not deserve to live as they have broken the law and hurt people or killed them.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes. Criminals should pay for what they did. All our actions comes with consequences. I feel that if the crime is not that serious, there should not be a death penalty. I also agree that if the case is very serious, we should execute death penalties.
One reason I feel that we should execute death penalties is because if we do and other Singaporeans see that we are very strict then they would not dare to brake the law anymore.
Another reason would be that if someone brakes the law, I strongly believe that we should punish that person for his/her bad deed. If we do not, others will realize that one person got away with breaking the law so I can too, and if we catch them, they will say that someone did the same thing and did not get caught.
In summary, I believe that death penalties should be executed only on serious crimes.
I am against death penalty for serious crimes,because I believe that everyone should
have a second chance to correct themselves.Sometimes people make mistakes
unintentionally or carelessly and they do not mean to cause harm to others.It might
be sad to see their family members without given a chance to help.
Instead of having death penalty,we can replace it with going to jail for many
years.While serving his terms in prison,we can let them do social work like community work,helping the elderly or the less fortunate.By doing that,the prisoners can be able to redeem themselves and turned over a new leaf.So we should give them a new chance and forgive them.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes, as it is their choice to do such crimes and they deserve such punishment.If there was no such death penalty or maybe a jail, then the whole world would start doing bad things as they wont get fined or be punished. This teaches them a lesson, to not do that again. but for those that were forced to do it, I do not think they had a choice and I feel that they should not be treated that way. If I do not have a choice, I would still not do such crimes as I will disappoint my parents,siblings and friends and get punished. So from my point of view, I feel that a death penalty should be a good thing when someone does a serious crime.
I am not against the death penalty for serious crimes because people have chose to committed serious crimes and they must pay the price for it . It also serves as a warning to people who are involved in those crimes.
I am against death penalty for serious crimes. They should let him/her get a 45-60 year sentence if he is not sincerely sorry for the mistakes he/she made (subject to how well he/she performs) and a 25-45 year sentence if he/she is sincerely sorry. (Subject to how well he/she performs)The police will let him on a trail and test with drugs and some disguised police officers whether he will take it and give it to the disguised police officers. The disguised police will then give the results based on the reaction. Like if he shares it immediately, he will get a huge sentence. If he does not share it immediately and thinks that he should not share it but because of the drug effect he shares it he should get a 25-45 year sentence. Or that he shares it immediately because of the drug effect he/she will get a 25-45 year sentence. (Subject to how well he/she performs) (158 words)
I do not think that death penalty is effective against drug trafficking as it is the drug that addicts the person. The person because is addicted to the drug and think it is good will spread the word to his friends or relatives. Why must the police hold a death sentence if he/she drug traffics when the law says that the public should not kill? Why must they kill another life? When a person dies, there is 1 life gone but why another life to teach the outsiders or the murderer himself when the murderer needs to die ? It is the same. How to teach the drug trafficker when he is already dead and the outsiders who is addicted to drugs of course will still drug traffic because of the drug.
The conclusion is: I am against death penalty for serious crimes. (143 words)
(Altogether 301 words)
I think that death penalty is necessary for serious crimes. My reasons are that if you do something wrong or against the law, they have to pay the price for it.
Another reason why the punishment is needed is because it hurts the victim. Serious crimes hurts people for example, killing and drug trafficking.
One more reason, is because it is so severe that it scares people so there are less people who commit these crimes. There are only a few who are prepared to die. Some people are driven by hatred or greed to commit these serious crimes.
There are more reasons about death penalties being required, but some people things it is too severe so they are against it. Everyone has their point of view. So, I think death penalties are needed from my point of view.
Death penalties may be effective in fighting drug trafficking but I think it is too severe as:
1. The drug trafficker(s) could help them arrest other drug traffickers.
2. Besides the drug trafficker,others might also suffer from the loss of the drug trafficker e.g. his/her/their parents, siblings,etc.
3.If they are let off with their lives,they might also turn over a new leaf and in the future help our country in some way, even if they don't, their children might,but they might not ever exist if the deth pnalties affect their parents/parent.
Instead of a death panelty for drug trafficking, I think they should be sent to prison for 10 years and let them continue on their lives just 10 years older and have a criminal record.
If they still continue drug trafficing, give him/her a choice of 20 years in jail,or death
and if he/she still continue drug trafficking, have a publick vote on what to do.
i think that there should be a death penalty for serious crime that involve deaths or serious offences.i find that all criminals instead of robbers should have a death penalty as killing is a serious offence.
I am against the death penalty for serious crimes. My reasons are: If a criminal does not take the death penalty when he or she committed a very serious crime, he or she may not learnt from his or her mistake by staying in jail for a few years. He or she may repeat the same mistake again.
But, instead of killing someone whom you do not know will leant from his or her mistake, we could let him or her stay in jail forever. This way, the criminal would have no way he or she could commit the same mistake again. We will not have to kill the criminal, and his or her family members will be less worried.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes.It is because this penalty will cause people to be afraid and if they are afraid they will not commit serious crimes.If there is no such things as death penalty more and more people will commit serious crimes such as drug trafficking and if more crimes happen Singapore will become an unsafe country.Another reason is if there is no such things as death penalty it will be to lenient for those who commit crime such as murder.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes.
I believe that justice should be served for the victims while those who had caused the victims to suffer has to suffer now instead. Many may think that we should give the criminals some time to reflect on their actions and they may turn a new leaf. However, some do not change. If we take this risk to allow the criminals to reflect on their actions and let them go back home for a while, anything may happen in this short period of time. Though some of the criminals may turn a new leaf, what will happen to those who were not able to turn a new leaf? They may use this short period of time to kill someone. This is really unfair to the victims.
For serious crimes like murdering, I am strongly for the death penalty as people who had taken others life away, his/her life has to be taken away instead. Can you imagine yourself seeing your mother in the morning but in the afternoon, you realised that her life has been cut short by an evil person?
Thank you for reading.
I think they should have death penalty because if the drug dealers keep on spreading the drugs a lot of people around the world would die and our population will go lesser
I think that I am for death penalty for serious crimes.
My reasons would be that death is what most people are scared of, unless they really think that it's okay to lose everything to harm other people.
But there are also cases of people being forced by masterminds to do the crimes. In my opinion, if that really happens, the accused should tell the police everything. They won't get the death penalty that way.
People who are mentally disabled and forced to do such crimes should appeal on court.
In that way, the death penalty is to prevent and stop criminals from harming our country.
I am not for or against some crimes that there is death penalty. Like drug trafficking (illegal drugs; cigarettes, methamine or known as ice ecstasy, rohypnl etc.) if it is his /her 1,2,3time for drug trafficking he/she should be counselled, name recorded into crime list and fined. If it is his /her 4,5,6,7 times he/she should be jailed ,whipped with a rattan cane ...,....,and for the next time death penalty for illegal drugs that are prohibited by the government. nalty. My reason for this crime is they disobeyed the law let people smoke more cigaretes, selling
Murder is also one of the serious crimes that I am going to talk I am not for or against some crimes that there is death penalty. Like drug trafficking (illegal drugs; cigarettes, methamine or known as ice ecstasy, rohypnl etc.) if it is his /her 1,2,3time for drug trafficking he/she should be counselled, name recorded into crime list and fined.

My reason for this crime is they disobeyed the law let people smoke more cigaretes, selling
Murder is also one of the serious crimes that I am going to talk about. In most cases, the murderer is usually sentenced to death penalty. In my opinion, I agree with the death penalty as no matter how much the murderer said sorry to the family, he/she does not have the power to revive the person.
about. In most cases, the murderer is usually sentenced to death penalty. In my opinion, I agree with the death penalty as no matter how much the murderer said sorry to the family, he/she does not have the power to revive the person.
I feel death penalties are efficent
in controlling drug trafficking,but
it makes other countries think bad about us.Why?It is because even after let's say 5 major drug trafficking cases been solved and all involved killed.There would still be drug traffickers around and the same thing will keep happening.In years time,Singapore would be on a killing spree.That would make us murderers,not live-saving citizens.
I am going to share 3 reasons why I am against the death penalty for serious crimes.
Firstly, instead of the death penalty we could give them a chance to repent by putting them in jail.
Secondly, The death penalty will result in death and will not even help them as their lives will be terminated.
Lastly, their family will be very sad and have no opportunity to help him to turn around.
For me , I think death penalty should not be effective at serious crime . The crime has already been committed , even you kill the murderer, the victim will not come back. So I think that death penalty should not be effective at serious crime. I think we should just give him/her a fine being sentenced to jail is the best solution . First , after the person come out of the jail , he will treasure his life . Secondly, he will not dare to commit the crime again as he had taste the bitter . Therefore I think death penalty should not be effective at serious crime .
In my opinion, I think that the death penalty law should be abolished as everyone has the right to live, and no one has the right to take away one's life.Sentencing someone to death is a more unforgivable act than drug trafficking itself.Drug traffickers should be given a second chance.
I don't think that these people should repay their crimes with death but given a second chance to live another life which is
drug-free but of course if they should be released, they should be in touch with the police so that if he is continuing drug trafficking he can be easily tracked by the police and arrested. After the second time he is caught, he should then repay his crimes with death as drug trafficking can be harmful to everyone. So that means that I am half with death penalty and half with not giving death penalty.
I am against the death penalty for serious crimes as I believe people, even criminals, need a second chance. Instead of giving them a death penalty, you should just send them to jail to reflect on their bad deeds. If they commit a similar crime after their jail term has ended, then that is the time when a death penalty is necessary.
I agree that death penalty should be sentenced for serious crimes because death penalty serves as a punishment for people who do fatal things to their innocent victims. If someone kills another person, the murderer should also be dead as he took other's life. Something like drug trafficking should also be given death penalties because if the drug dealers keep on selling others drugs, more people will die as drugs are harmful and can be very dangerous to our body, but some people disagree on that because they think that we should give criminals a chance to correct themselves and start a whole new life. If everyone thinks like that, there would be no justice, no revenge for the decreased.
I think the death penalty is effective. It warns drug traffickers and dealers not to smuggle or abuse drugs in Singapore. It gives us a sense of security and keeps us away from drugs. Drugs are harmful to us and cause insommia, vomiting etc.If we carry heroin or any other drugs, we have to face the death sentence by hanging. The Singapore parliment has discussed whether to drop the death sentence recently. Still, there are still drug abusers in Singapore and I think the Singapore government should tighten the rules further to make Singapore an anti-drug country. I strongly agree to having the death penalty in Singapore though others might feel that this is too harsh. this is to ensure that we young Singaporeans will not take drugs.
i think for the drug trafficking,they should give the victims another chance but the drug traffickers a death penalty
I am not against the death penalty.As without it the drug traffickers in the world will continue with their wrong doings.For instance if they get caught and after serving their sentence they might not realize their mistakes and continue ruining the lives of others by giving people some drugs.So by imposing death penalties they will understand the consequences and might stop drug trafficking same for murder and other crimes.By getting rid of the drug traffickers,murderers we might make the world a much better place for us to live.
I am for death penalty for serious crimes as it is effective in fighting serious crimes and encourages people to turn over a new leaf to change their ways. It also helps the criminal reflect how his or her family members, friends and the victim (if there is) are feeling. He or she will also reflect about what he or she should have done despite having the death penalty. This may also tell people how serious the crime is. I think this may also make them rethink about what might happen if other people do such crimes. This might also explain how important it is to tell other people that they know to stop doing such crimes. I think that Singapore shall become a great country if we continue to have death penalty for serious crimes. :)
I think that the death penalty should stay. People who commit serious crimes like drug trafficking should have thought about the dire consequences before committing the crime. Even though people need to be given a chance, I think that drug traffickers have actually ruined the lives of others by introducing and selling drugs to them. For this, I think they deserve a severe punishment.
I think that the death penalty may not be necesarry. I think the wrongdoers should just have a higher fine or a longer time in jail. Giving a second chance gives the person time to change.
I do not think there is a need for death penalty even though the criminals have committed a serious offence. We should just put them in jail for them to reflect on their mistakes and when they are released, give them a second chance. But if they commit more crimes after released, then we really have to do something about it. But actually sometimes we should punish some criminals which really went overboard. Then put them in jail to reflect.
I am against death penalties for serious crimes, because no one has the right to take other people's life. Everyone has the right to survive on this planet. If someone has done a serious offence like murder, the offender should be sentenced to life imprisonment instead of death penalties as we should give the offender a chance to repent and hope that when he comes out of jail, he would live life anew. An offence like drug trafficking, the drug traffickers should also be given a second chance. Although the drug the drug traffickers sell is harmful, we should also give them a chance to live their life anew and hope that when they come out of jail, they can find a new job or simply create their own career. If the offender has repeated the offence repeatedly like murdering, a death penalty would then be necessary as the offender not only took one person's life but a few of them. Hence, sentencing death penalty to them would help serve justice for the decreased.
Even if criminals do something bad like drug trafficking,i do not think it is right to give them a death penalty immediately.Therefore i am against death penalties.It is not right to just give them the death penalty as humans make mistakes,so they do deserve a second chance.
I think that death penalty should for serious crimes,such as illegal drug dealing.As they might sell the drugs to victims that do not know what are drugs.Drugs can cause depression and lead to family issues and even committing suicide.But they should also give drug dealers a second chance to realize their mistake,and what have they caused to other people lives.If they continue to commit the same crime,then they should be sentenced to death penalty.
I believe that nobody should be given a death penalty as everyone has the rights to live. And also, if they commit a very serious crime, they should just be sent to jail. Everybody makes mistakes so it is always good to give someone a second chance as they can learn from their mistakes. And if people keep sentencing people to death our population will go lesser and everybody will become very scared.
Hi my name is Sindujah and today I am going to be talking about whether I support drug penalty or not. Bringing drugs to Singapore is illegal.
Therefore, I support the punishment of death penalty for crimes that are serious. I am for it is as doing this such as bringing drugs are bad as young teenagers might get addicted to it and it is dangerous as it destroys many lives and innocent families. Drugs are things which are harmful for your body as you may suffer from health problems like brain mal-functioning. Some examples of drugs are glue sniffing,cocaine injections, few examples. So since it is not allowed in Singapore, there must be death penalty. So moral of this story please say
1)NO TO DRUGS!!!
2)please, people around us who are taking drugs, please stop it as it might shorten your long life span and seek specialist to remove the bad things in your body.
THANK YOU!!!

It is good to see that you are looking at both sides of the argument. Keep it up Valencia!
Mr Khoo
I agree the death penalty should remain so that the criminals will not harm people anymore and people would not dare to be a criminal.
I think that they should not be given the death penalty as everybody deserves a second chance. although drug trafficking is serious, no one is authorized to take away someone’s life.
I’m Against Death Penalty As People Should Be Given A Second Chance To Turn Over A New Leaf and Become A Good Citizen Of Singapore. If Drug Traffickers Are Found Guilty, They Should Be Life Imprisoned. If People Traffic Drugs All The Time , Then Everyday, People Die Because Of Death Penalty. Therefore, I Am Against Death Penalty
I am against the death penalty. As I believe that everyone should have a good life. The drug trafficers should stop taking in drugs.If someone takes another persons life,then that person has to give away his life.It will be fair and square.Drinking drugs harms your body as it is dangerous.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
I am for and against the death penalty in Singapore. It depends on how serious the crime is and whether the criminal offended the crime with intention. If it is really serious, for example, murder, then the criminal must face the death penalty. But if it is a crime that does not involve death of the victim, for example, drug trafficking, then the criminal should be jailed until the criminal has learnt his lesson.
I'm against death penalty , because everybody should be given a chance to turn over a new leaf and get a second chance in life. They also should be given a death penalty given the crime that they commited. Example: Terrorist attack or Suicide-Bombers(The mastermind of it)Those offenders should be sentenced a life penalty.
Thank you.

I agree that death penalties should be for Serious Crimes, but what are serious crimes? Is murder a serious crime? Is drug trafficking a serious crime? Death penalties should only be for serious crimes. Murder is not a Serious Crime although Serial and mass murder is. Drug trafficking IS a serious crime but forced trafficking is not. It depends on the government and how they classify serious crimes and non-serious crimes.
Death penalty should be given to the drug dealer as if he is not sentenced to death, he will continue to deal drugs and many other innocent people will die. If the victims die their parents will be sad as they could not see their son/daughter for the last time.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes. When people smuggle drugs into Singapore, and sell it to other people, they will get addicted to it so the people who smuggle drugs, they should receive a death penalty. But when the smugglers get caught by the police and go to jail, and then come out after a few years, they might not turn over a new leaf. And smuggle drugs again. So there would be no use in putting the smuggles in jail at all.
I agree that the drug traffickers should have death penalties under certain
conditions, because they do not deserve a second chance, the traffickers should not have
handled with drugs in the first place. However, some drug traffickers may have been forced to smuggle drugs into Singapore, therefore
they have to be put into jail for an extended period of time with a slightly higher fine to pay

I am against the death penalty as the criminals should have a second chance in their life. Although they have committed serious crime, I think the government should send the criminal to jail for a few years. But if the criminal commit the same crime, the death penalty should be considered .Death penalty reduces the population too.
I think the drug traffickers should be given a death penalty, as a huge number of people either died or got seriously injured during the accidents. If a crime has been committed and no harsh actions are taken, the person might do it again and more innocent people will die. However, I also think the drug traffickers should be given a second chance.
I am for and against the death penalty. I find that it depends on the kind of person the criminal is, what crime he had done and the how serious the crime he had done is. Even though a criminal might committed a serious crime, I think that everyone should get a second chance to prove to everyone that he can turn over a new leaf. However, if the criminal committed many serious crimes, does not show any signs of repenting and keeps doing illegal things, I am for the death penalty. Because if the criminal keeps hurting others or killing others, I feel that it is not worth it to risk other peoples’ lives by just waiting for the criminal to repent. Therefore, I am for and against the death penalty.
I am against the idea of death penalty as the criminal should deserve a second chance as they may turn over a new leaf. Instead the criminal should be imprisoned for about 10 years and be caned. The government is also reducing to population too
I think everybody should be given a second chance, but it had to be dependent on how serious the crime is. I think for drug trafficking, we should find out the reason why they are doing it, they might be forced or threaten.
For serious crime, like murdering, rapping I think there will be a need for death penalty so that the mistake would not be repeated by other people and people will have no fear when they go out. So I think there is a need for death penalty for serious committed crime
I think that we should let the death penalty stay but for the first offenders, we should give them a chance by jailing them for 11 years instead. if they do it again, that is when the death penalty sets in. For those ciminals who are forginers, we should banish them from Singapore forever. The death penalty only can be set for crimes that include killing people,notdrug trafficking but life inprisonment.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes. When people smuggle drugs into Singapore, and sell it to other people, they will get addicted to it so the people who smuggle drugs, they should receive a death penalty. But when the smugglers get caught by the police and go to jail, and then come out after a few years, they might not turn over a new leaf and smuggle drugs again. So there would be no use in putting the smugglers in jail at all.
I agree to death penalty should be sentence for serious crimes, as I think that if the punishment for drug trafficking is light, and if the criminals can be released from prison they might not be able to learn their lessons. Not only will they affect their own life style but they may also harm other victims causing more people to be sick and some may even die. Singapore’s population will then decrease in numbers
I am against death penalty for serious crimes because taking a people’s life is cruel without giving them any second chance to turn over a new leaf. If someone murders a human, they should go to jail and after they come out of jail, who knows maybe he/she would turn over a new leaf. If he/she do not want to turn over a new leaf, his/her family may support them, they may simply find another job and start anew. But if after the criminal had been released from jail, and they do it again, they must be executed or if a criminal killed a few people and got caught they also must executed. And for drug trafficking, the traffickers can just be sent to jail for life sentence. So, for me I will say that it takes different matters for execution to happen. But the best is to avoid execution.
I think that death penalty should remain for drug traffickers. If not they might go around asking innocent people to help them bring the drugs into countries as chocolate, medicine etc. Not only that , if you take in more than 15g of drugs into Singapore , you can get a death penalty even though you have no idea what you were carrying into Singapore were drugs. So to keep the earth and society safe, we should give a death sentence to those who are drug traffickers. Not only does taking drugs make you crave for it even more and make you feel high, it will make you go crazy, you will then feel like hurting those people that you think that are bullying you, talking bad about you, staring at you and laughing at you. Sooner or later you will feel like you’re not able to survive without it.

I am against the death penalty as second chance will allow the criminal to reflect and to apologise. Even though he/she may have committed the offence, we should never kill a person. As your life is important, the other’s life is equally important. If you put someone to death penalty, and he was not the culprit, it would be really unfair for him…
I am for and against death penalty for serious crimes. Serious crimes need to stopped and with serious punishments, it can be stopped. Death penalties might be unfair to the culprit and there are many more punishments that can be used to replace it. Also, it is unfair to the family members of the culprit as they are very innocent.
I think that the death penalty should be abolished, but a longer jail term should be meted out. The government could also impose a new type of jail term where criminals are released from jail only when they show genuine remorse. On the other hand, sometimes a jail term is not an effective deterrent for a criminal. To some repeat offenders who have served long sentences before, prison might seem like a home to them because they have not experienced freedom for so long. If this is the case, then there may be no choice but to sentence these unremorseful criminals to death. In any case, however, the criminal should only be sentenced to death if he or she is a repeat offender.
I think they should have death penalty because if the drug dealers spread to peoples they die.
I disagree with the death penalty as in the first place no one is allowed to take another person’s life away and the criminals might turn over a new leaf.
The criminals should apologize to the victim’s family members, pay them a huge amount of money or might be send to jail for years and be caned.
Taking drugs is bad for your body.
But if the victim still does not turn over a new leaf, I think that he should be given a death penalty as he might escape from jail and hurt other innocent people.
I think that it is good because it will make the person think"what will happen if I do this will I die or not if I do this?" another reason for me to think that is because sometimes drug traffickers can give some drugs and the person who takes the drugs might overdo it. When they overdo it they may kill themselves but they will ruin their lives, they will ruin the family,and ruin everything. But for drug traffickers they will be given a pardon if they do it the first time. But in my opinion they should not be given a second chance because they ruined another persons life and everybody has the right to live a happy and peaceful life.
People who commit very serious crimes like terrorism and killing people. The crimes that I think that must have death penalty is those that cause misery and despair because of reasons of loved ones being killed.
Some people may think it is fun or good to commit crimes like this because they don't actually see the real picture that they are actually hurting a lot of people. some people may hurt because they are angry I don't blame them for the crime if somebody did it but still they need to control their emotions of other people like in the below LRD post.
So in overall my opinion is that they should actually keep the death penalty as it will make so much more peoples lives better. But some may not benefit from it e.g terrorists,drug traffickers,and murderers.
THANK YOU!

I am against it,because Singapore is planning to increase their population as therefore if they receive the death penalty they will not be able to achieve this wish Secondly,the judge may think if the person who commit serious crime can be use less when they come out of the prison,I would agree 50% of it but the person who commit the crime can arrange a talk with consultance so they can turn a new leaf
I'm against the death penalty as we must give the criminal a second chance even if the drug trafficker, who migh be poor and needs money to support the family. If we just kill the criminal whose family would loose the a family member and hate police which could cause more and more crime and trouble. If we give the criminal a second chance, they would know what is right to do and become to a good people.
Dennis,
Drugs are indeed destructive !
Ms Tan SP
Sindujah,
You have my vote ! You wrote with conviction against drugs! That's the way to go.
Ms Tan SP
I support drug penalty and i think that whoever takes drug should get death penalty as drugs can kill people and many lives can be lost.
SO everybody should say NO to drugs.
Remember drugs can kill you.
I think that people who commit drugs trafficking should have death penalty because they could be going out selling drugs to the others and the others would die.
i think drug are hamful and can cause death and i think drug dealers should have a death penalty
Stay away from drugs as it is really dangerous once you got infected.
Stay away from drug as it is dangerous once you got infected.
Stay away from drug it will be dangerous once you get infected.
Stay away from drug once get infected you will regret the whole life.
Dear Louis,
I was wondering if we let drug traffickers off without serious punishment, will it cause drug trafficking to be on the rise and affect many other lives?
Ms Chitra
In my opinion, I think that the death penalty should be abolished, as everyone has the right to live. I also think that they should be given some time to repent or reflect on themselves on what they have done wrong. Sentencing someone to death is more unforgivable than trafficking drugs. Like everybody, they should also get a second chance as they are still human like us.
I am against the death penalty as the death penalty ends a person's life, not giving them a chance to repent, let alone reflect. But, for repeat offenders, there is a need for the death penalty as they did not take their second chance well.
I think that the death penalty should stay. In my opinion, those people who committed serious crimes such as murdering and drug trafficking do not deserve a second chance as it is likely that they would learn their lesson while they are imprisoned. Some criminals even escaped from the prison. Also, once they committed serious crimes, it would be recorded as criminal record and therefore it is harder to get a job or to survive. How are they going to turn over a new leaf when no one give them chance by giving them a job? There had been an incident where a person who had committed crimes in the past could not get a job because of the criminal record and he ended up stealing things and commit more crimes to survive. There might be places where they employ people who had committed crimes but there are not a lot. If criminals who committed serious crimes always get a second chance without any harsh punishments, other people would start committing crimes or continue to do wrongdoings. Some said that they should not give drug traffickers death penalty as Singapore’s population is decreasing, but when they sell drugs, it is ruining hundreds of people’s lives. In countries that is lenient and gives many chances to people who committed crimes, that country always has a lot of crimes happening. As a conclusion, I think death penalty is necessary for serious crimes.
I am against death penalty. Everyone should have the right to live. The drug traffickers should just be punished heavily.
I am against death penalty. They should be put on a remote island and made to do productive work. Hopefully they will change.
I think I am both against and at the same time disagree with the death penalties. I think that the death penalty should be on the people who have been drug trafficker for a very long time and have gave lots of people drugs. If the drug trafficker who is caught just started being a trafficker, I think we can give him a second chance and just give them a imprisonment for some time to think about their wrongdoings.
I think death penalty should continue. Those people who drug traffic should get punished as they had made serious offence. They sell and recommend drugs to some of the innocent people. Although is a bit cruel to death penalty them, but they make people to addict on drugs and cause their life to endanger. Therefore, I strongly think that they should get a death penalty.
I agree that the death penalty should be sentenced to drug traffickers. Drugs can ruin people lives as it will harm their body. If drug traffickers keep selling drugs, many more people will get hurt. Most people say that we should cherish life, but look at what drug traffickers did to all those innocent life, therefore the death penalty is necessary.
For me, death penalties are not needed unless the trafficker is a repeated offender. If the drug trafficker trafficked drugs once or twice, they should not be penalized. Death penalty takes away one life. But if the drug traffickers did not murder anybody or take away the lives of a few people, I do not see the need to penalize the drug trafficker. I recommend throwing the drug trafficker longer in jail than the drug traffickers who trafficked drugs once or twice. A higher priced fine would also help shape the drug trafficker into a normal person who starts life anew, rather than killing him or her.
I am against death penalties. Even in Korea, there are many issues on this. If the traffickers sincerely know their mistake and are seriously willing to change and not just run away from being killed, I think they can have a second chance. The traffickers did make many people lose their lives and make them suffer but the traffickers need not be treated the same way too. If they are jailed for life and cannot go out ever again, I think it is quite similar to being killed but they at least can change in jail and live happily with the other traffickers and people jailed there and have a life…
Dear Joel,
I know that human population can get lower but it is maybe only 0.001% of the whole population. I think the drug traffickers need a second chance too.
I am for the death penalty for serious crimes such as murder and drug trafficking as the criminals should have thought about the consequences that they would get if they get caught for their crime. And if the death penalty is abolished, it might encourage more people to be drug traffickers and other drug traffickers to traffic even more drugs and harm even more people. Besides, with the death penalty abolished, how will we get revenge for the innocent lives and families ruined?
I support the death penalty as the drug trafficker are actually slowly taking away people's lives by selling drugs to them. After those people,who took drugs,died and the drug trafficker caught, the drug trafficker deserve the death penalty as they took others' lives away but if they are only caught and only sent to be in prison for the rest for their life, it is unfair for those people who died because the drug trafficker are at least given a chance living and not die. By committing offences such as murder or drug trafficking or other serious crimes, I agree that the people,who committed these crimes should get the death penalty.
I am against death penalty for serious crimes because it doesn't give the criminal a chance to make up for his mistakes but it also depends if the criminal is a serial criminal.If he is,then i think he should be sentence a higher sentence then normal.
I am not against the death penalty. People who commit serious crimes should be punished severely. Before the criminals react, they should have thought of the consequences and paid for it. If they are not punished heavily, innocent people would lose their precious lives. They could get away with it. In order to prevent people from commiting serious crimes such as drug trafficking and murder, I feel that we should continue with the death penalty. By doing this, the country or city would be safer for the citizens to live in.
I think they should at least be given a second chance for the first time as they might not know the harmful effects of the drugs and the penalty that comes with it and if we sentence all the drug traffickers to death sentence, many people would lose their lives, and that's not something that is good . But if they commit this crime the second time, then I think that they should be punished very severely.
I would not like death penalty cause they would have another chance to live,Maybe they should have 20 years of jail,at least you can turn over a new leaf and learn from the mistake and not do it again.Thank You!
To all people,committing drug trafficking is not a good thing to do.And it could leave other people in danger.So,I think that they should give those people death penalty,or else,I would not know what would happen to the whole world.
I find death penalty a good thing it not only gives a warning to others it also stops people from doing so
I am for this idea . I think that all this people should be punished as they are hurting not only themselves any others that were con to take the drugs . and another thing is that drugs are illegal in singapore so why should we give them a second chance ????
I think there should be or have a dealth penalty. Drug trafficking is a very serious crime. Although everyone will make mistakes and might be given a second chance to turn over a new leaf, a serious crime cannot take the risk to giving a second chance. some examples of serious crimes are:
1) Murder
2) Drug trafficking
3) Abusing(humans or animals)
Would you rather commit a small crime(like pickpocketing)or a serious crime(like murder)? (This is just a question)
Thanks^^
I think that death penalty should be abolished as we should give
the criminals a second chance and let them turn over a new leaf. However, if the criminal has committed many serious crimes such as murder or drug trafficking, death penalty would then be necessary as the offender not only took a person's life away but a few of them too.
I am against death penalty as I felt that these people needs to have a second chance to change themselves. If the death penalty continues, it would be the same as taking away lives, as these drug traffickers are being killed. Instead of having the death penalty, I think that they should have a longer jail term and should also be fined more then usual. If they do not change, then he or she could be sentenced to death, and this could be a warning to the other drug traffickers.
I think that we should give the criminals one chance for them to turn over a new leaf. But if the criminal repeatedly commit a crime then he or she should be punished.
I am against the death penalty as I believe that whatever crimes he or she commits, they should be given a second chance at life. But when they commit a crime for a second time, that is when the death penalty should be applied.
i will go with second chance because i think they did not mean to spread it , it is because if the guy that had been drugged did not mean to do that , he did not know what he was doing because of the drug , i think you should warn them of the drugs and stuff and let them go unless they did a very very very very very bad offence kill them
Dear 5 Graciousness,
Thank you all for your sharing :) I really enjoy reading your personal views on whether you are for or against death penalty for serious crimes.
I do agree with some of you who mentioned that the criminals should be given a second chance to repent and turn over a new leaf. I also agree with those of you who mentioned that the criminals deserve such harsh punishment as they ought to pay for what they have done.
Well, there is no right or wrong here. In my opinion, it depends on how an individual defines 'serious crimes'. Also, everyone's perception of a death penalty is different.
Mrs Ong
I encourage the death penalty for serious crimes as it end up ruining people's life and life is very precious as every each and one of us has only a life and we should appreciate it by not wasting your time in jail.I think that we should give a chance to those criminal who would turn over new leaf or those whom had been forced as they do not have enough money while punish the ones that have another criminal record by giving them a death penalty.I think we should not risk our life to such risky things so we must think twice and think for the consequences before doing such risky things.It is the best not to do illegal stuff like killing to risk your life.
I think the trafficking criminals should get death penalty,if the people traffic the drugs that mean they kill their own world!They should not be forgiven.
I am both for and against death penalty as it depends on what the criminal did. If the crime does not affect any death, e.g. murder, the criminal will not have to go through death penalty. But if the crime does affect death, then the criminal will have to go through death penalty.
We should use the computer wisely.For example:Wiki -pedia,Dictionary,school project and so on .Do not always play computer game.Because this can lead you to poor health,damage eyesight.Jia Wei,5Compassion.
i think that they should death penalty so that people aroung the world will not do crimes.They will feel scared and will not do crimes.i strongly agree that they should give death penatly as it will kill the world
I am tell about death penalty for drug trafficking.I am for death penalty for drug trafficking as they destroyed many lives and trying to live by destroying other''s lives is a very bad thing to do.They may have earned millions of dollars but they should think before selling drugs to drug addicts.The lives they have destroyed is suitable for death penalty to them. the drug addicts may a lot of diseases and they may never live the normal life as they had did before.So,the drug traffickers must think before smuggling the drugs and spend their lives regretting it
