Perhaps you'd have a different outlook if your son / daughter died of a herion overdose.

This guy dealt in misery.

Let me help you with that. It's the death penalty for trafficking in more than 15 grams of heroin. Nguyen was trafficking in more than 26 times that amount in uncut heroin, enough to destroy the lives of thousands of young people in his adoptive country of Australia -- a country that took him and his family in when they sought to escape a life of misery in their native country. He was willing to sacrifice those people to save his repeat offender brother, a brother who laughed and joked on the day of Nguyen's execution.

For those who simply abuse drugs in Singapore, there are a variety of diversion programs, as well as prison sentences. Sometimes Singapore is, IMO, far too lenient here.

Let's keep this in perspective, shall we?
