It is very tempting to settle such issues using a simple mind (pun intended). Which convicted drug trafficker doesn't have a sob story?

Think deeper: if the precedent is set, what would future drug lords do? They will recruit borderline mentally disabled people to smuggle drugs into Singapore, because these people cannot be executed. When heroine floods into Singapore, then the situation will be truly absurd.

Besides, the question is whether this person knew what he was doing despite his low IQ. He still has a final appeal. I hope he lives, but let justice run its course.
