We endearingly refer to Singapore as our retarded, Singlish speaking little brother with less people, more space, less brothels, more hotties and less drugs. Especially with regard to the latter, Singapore has drawn a lot of criticism for the way it handles drug offences (read: hangs anyone carrying more than 15 grams of heroine, 30 grams of coke or 500 grams of weed).

This heavily censored, gum-free city-state had the highest per-capita execution rate in the world between 1994 and 1999, estimated by the United Nations to be 13.57 executions per one million during that period. For reference, the next highest was Turkmenistan with 12.43 at the time. This number has dropped a bit, but SG nevertheless still insists on killing impoverished and vulnerable people who made a mistake and conveniently revealing very little about the process.

However, currently a case against a 22-year old Malaysian sentenced to death (for carrying 42 grams of heroin) is under review in Singapore’s Court of Appeal, as London-based “Death Penalty Project” is challenging the government for its backward policies. Likely to no avail, yet at least something is happening. In the meantime, as long as nothing changes, we say it’s A-OK to throw your used chewing gums at any Singaporean you encounter. Especially at chicks like these. We know Jackie concurs.
