Executions
If the sign says "No littering, FINE $500", it doesn't mean you can't litter - you can, but if you get caught, the penalty's $500.
If the sign says "No parking, WHEEL CLAMP, release $50", it doesn't mean you can't park there - you can, but if you get caught, the penalty's the wheel clamp, and to release it's gonna cost you $50.
If the sign depicts a picture showing that you shouldn't feed the monkeys bananas (or sweet corn, depending on how you interpret that ... thing that the hand is offering the monkey), you really shouldn't feed the monkeys.
And if you're planning on coming into Singapore, you should know that we don't like drugs, drug-pushers or drug-abusers. And you should know that you run the risk of being executed.
I am not unsympathetic to the prosecuted's plight - capital punishment is nothing to be sneezed at. But you knew that we had the laws, and you knew that you ran the risk of the death penalty when you brought illegal stuff here, and you knew that we had tight security and that we don't f**k around when it comes to drugs - so really, what else could we do? In the words of Agent Smith, it was inevitable.
I'd like to say more, but I think I'll live in fear and err on the side of caution. Looks like Amesty International might have a point about us after all.
