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.

Let's assume that this person is executed. Does it stop the drug lords from recruiting mentally disabled person again? No, it doesn't. If the drug lords make use of dogs to carry the drugs, even if the dogs are killed they'll still continue to do the same thing.
