Note to self: Don't smuggle anything through Singapore.
Someone who "gets it"
Not to sell... Don't go to to Singpore Period.
Hey Nguyen.....save a spot for Tookie.
Once in Changi Airport, there are plenty of pre-Customs multi-lingual notices in the terminal warning of the penalty for smuggling drugs into Singapore, and plenty of pre-Customs rest rooms in which to dump your stash.
There are simply no excuses.
Midnight Express was enough to deter me from ever doing anything illegal in any country, including my own. lol
He's got only one excuse. That being he is an utter dumb ass.
when in Rome....
You will get hung for one, and caned for the other.
Exactly. Any country that whips the flesh right off your arse for doing something as little as spitting gum out in the street is not a country you want to screw with much less even get near. Why I keep reading about people smuggling drugs of all things into this country is something I`ll never understand in a million years, and it always seems to be people from Australia. The last was that woman who was busted last year.
What is Midnight Express?
Please amend the headline: "Australian MEDIA anger over Singapore hanging".
Maybe this brainiac was doing a little too much of his own product.
But we get the drift. You got liberal media too.
Spitting gum on the street (littering) is punishable by a S$300 fine if my memory serves me correctly. No caning for littering.
"As for Michael Fay himself, he returned home to the United States, lived in Ohio with his mother. He moved to Florida in 1995 for a job at Universal Studios and attended college in Orlando.
In 1998 he pled guilty to possession of marijuana and paid a $500 fine."
Some folks never learn.
A movie. Google it
A movie about a westerner escaping a Turkish prison who was convicted on drug offenses, as I recall.
Yeah...and lefty priests and university types, as well!!!!
