Singapore is dead serious about their laws. The first thing that foreigners see after de-planing, is this:

A constant retort I read about the U.S. drug laws is that a death penalty for drug traffickers doesn’t stop the flow of drugs OR their illegal use.

How prevalent is the illegal use of drugs in Singapore, do you know?

Exactly.I've been to Singapore only once and when I saw the sign at the airport I knew two things...1)that Singapore doesn't fool around when it comes to their laws and 2)that I needed a change of underwear (and I didn't even have any drugs or cigarettes on me).

The cab driver who picked me up at the airport told me a bit about the laws.No chewing gum...no spitting....Yikes!

He should have got at least a year, like what needs to be done to any graffiti scumbag here in the US on the first offense.

Fricker will learn not to Frick around with Singapore law. “Three strokes of the cane” may not sound like much, but we’re talking permanent scarring.

Singapore is a fine city.

All joking aside, Singapore is a wonderful place - clean, with nice people and safe at any hour.

I'll bet Mr. Fricker won't do that again. Harsh? Yes, but so is forcing me to pay for the removal of graffiti. I'm sick to death of being punished for the stupid damage by some worthless gang member or halfwit hippy.

I support Singapore on how they deal with drug traffickers. With that said, I would also be afraid to fly through there especially if the drugs were planted in my luggage unknown to me.
