Singaporean loses appeal against death sentence for trafficking heroin he purportedly thought was cannabis
Shen Hanjie, 33, argued in his appeal that he always believed the drugs in the bundles found in his Marsiling bedroom to be cannabis or "grass".

Look at what drugs can do to one! One can’t even tell from heroin or cannabis or grass.
Why is there an increase in drug abusers? Has drugs in SG been easier to access compared to the past?

A male staff held a female colleague around the waist while they were crossing the road for lunch. When she confronted him, he claimed that a car was approaching so he did so to warn her of the potential danger. He was dismissed immediately after she reported the matter to HR.
Is asking "are you free tonight" considered harassment?

Err... You know how each kind of drugs look like? I don't think I know if I'm carrying any drug even if I am carrying... Lol the only drugs I can recognise are in tablets and pills from issued by doctors...
So young?! How cum death penalty wont stop them?
the drugs was found in his home so why is he charged with trafficking.
It's like they find a sword in your home and charge you for murder.
The other thing I find inconsistent is this.
Quote:Even if that were true, it was "unbelievable" that Shen would trust and believe Alan totally and accept his explanation at face value.
Given the are so many Singaporeans who are victims of scams and some are incredible that people can fall for it. How did they conclude Shen was not deceived. What proof do they have of this?
Shouldnt a death sentence be given only when there is no "reasonable doubt"
I see a lot of jumping into conclusions here.
>Shen Hanjie
is this a new citizen

Honk Kong movies shows heroin is in powder form. Grass is of course in grass form lor. Hahaha

I think their reasoning could be that they know of several ppl doing it and not caught, so their chances of getting caught is like striking toto first prize
It's quite common for expats/westerners to take drugs back home, but never or seldom heard of them kena arrested here. Why is it so

Without demand there's no supply, and that young man dun hv to die
Are you saying the drug takers are not to blame for his death?

Even if you smoke behind closed doors, yr neighbors shd hv noticed the distinctively skunky smell. And if yr regular suppliers are caught, it shd be easy to trace back to you
I dun see any excuse not to arrest the users
