Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Break the law in the country you are visiting then face the consiquences. Singapore is know for being strict so why chance the stretching of the neck.

If found guilty let's hope Gary Glitter feels the full weight of Asian law as well.

Re: australian hung in singapore

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

so true spugs but if you break the law in the united kingdom more often than not there are no consequences to face

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

In Britain they are mollycoddled as though it was not their fault they commited a crime.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Thats why some immigrants come here as they know the law is soft ! Thieve in some countries and get yer hands chopped off, thieve over here and get them smacked.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

I think that should read 'thieve over here and you don't even get them smacked'!!!

Respect to the singapore government for not backing down to the pressures of the goody goody brigade. String em up!

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Sorry Roy ! :D

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

the singapore leader stood up and said sory but he broke the law , it was a huge amount of drugs and we have a strict policy regarding drugs

well done i say

pity we dont have the same laws here and they should also apply to addicts who steal and mug people to feed their habbit

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Good on Singapore, should be more like that in this country. We're far to soft.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

lets get a taste of the british goverments mentality ..
i heard on the news tonite ronnie bigs is asking the home secretary for a pardon ....strange yes ronnie was a criminal yes he deserved punishment for his crime robbing a train ,but none were dead !!!on the same hand i hate to burden you fine people with our politics the british goverment pardons all terrorists in northern ireland ..whats next a pardon for people who planned the london bomb ..no you might cry never well dont bet on it in my eyes a terrorists a terrorist wether it carried out by muslims or irish scumbags ..and i know a scum bag when i see one
in short the law is a joke,, ronnie bigs crime ,train robbery, in jail seeking pardon ..
terrorists murdered policemen, soldiers and innocent people ,if caught at most they serve 15 years ,if not caught they now have no crimes to answer for ......yet again i appoligize for going of on one but the law really does my head in

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

If Ronnie Biggs had served his porridge instead of scarpering to Rio, he could have been released in 1978.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

g' day mate
well that may be the case ... or it might not look at the krays yes bad b******s convicted murderers .rot in jail key thrown away ...so maybe biggsy wouldnt have been so lucky after all
terrorists and other murders out after 15 or less ,murder is murder and the british goverment seem to have a category for it ..on one hand its alright to blow people up on the other its not alright to be a gangster and run some poor unforunate through on a sword or such forth

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Ronnie Biggs should have been refused medial treatment and left to die in brazil or wherever it was he had been hiding

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Mabe it should apply to all that are in the Briggs catogory Sutcliffe, Huntley, Neilson etc.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

I dont why there should be any fuss...

This is prominently displayed at Changi airport :

' DRUG WARNING.

Drug abuse is taken VERY seriously in Singapore. The death penalty is mandatory for those convicted of trafficking, manufacturing, importing or exporting any one of the following: 15g of heroin, 30g of morphine, 30g of cocaine, 500g of cannabis, 200g of cannabis resin, 1.2 kg of opium.

Possession of such quantities is deemed as prima facie evidence of trafficking. Those convicted of unauthorised drug consumption face maximum imprisonment of 10 years, fine of SGD 20,000, or both.

Your landing card repeats the message in big black letters.

He was carrying 400grams, anyone normally caught with 15grams faces the death penalty.

now some might say only 400grams but in reality there is 26000 hits of heron in 400gms.
He knew what he was doing and knew the punishment.
and it could have easily ended up in the our streets.

no sympathy.

you live by the sword - you die by the sword

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

welll thats one scumbag out of the way lets get gary glitters execution on its way

god i hope they make it pay per view :D

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Talking of differing punishments throughout the world, interesting to note that in Saudi Arabia recently two adult men were executed recently for having a consensual affair.

Could that too be said to be live by the sword, die by the sword?

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

yeah but countries like saudi arabia are pretty backward and stuck in the B.C era when it comes to crime and punishment

yes i am saying they are a barbaric race , dont they still stone people to death for minor crimes as well ...?

the thing about this australian is that his crime ( drug dealer ) is seen as a bad crime throughout the CIVILISED world so no one has any sympathy for him

been gay isnt a crime in the civilised world because we are civilised and know better so when we read about people been executed for been gay it shocks us yet i suppose in saudi arabia it is accepted and they saw it as an acceptble risk that if caught they would be killed

not saying its right but lets face it they are pretty barbaric they even flog people in the street if found drunk in public , i would have no skin on my back left if i ever went there lol

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

In the civilised world gays just get the kickings of the narrow minded scum of questionable origins. Think I would take the chop over the sreatch it would be instant.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

the death sentence is never going to deter criminals ,especially criminals who go to the likes of these places to commit crime..ie garry glitter and the deceased australian fellow..maybe its because the laws in their own countries are so slack, they have blatent disregard for any other countries..lets face it drug dealing back homes a much sought after career for some folk ..so criminals will continue going to tailand or places that do have the death sentence,with the attiude of the reward's greater than the risk ..and maybe their own goverment might be able to supply them with a get out of jail free card ...

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

opps geoff laughs editing it now !!!

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Tell that to the family of the train driver, Jack Mills who never recovered from his injuries and died later from complications directly relating to the bash on the head he received from Ronnie's lot.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

i was making a comparison about crime ....terrorists over here murdered people and no one ever thought of their families when these folks were realeased from jail early ..these were'nt my personal; views ..http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/299635.stm
it just shows what a mockery the so called law is .....and to bring it all to a head some of these people are now mps and involved in local goverment ..its enough to make you want to emigrate....sorry again for bringing our troubles up on your webby

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Geoff I see it over were I am on a regular basis and not just the bigatory but also the race hate to both foriegn and uk persons and have been on the receiving end of both. The worst thing is it will never be stamped out as the law is way too weak to deal with it. Singapore aint scared to carry out the dictates of its law along with many other countries. Britain thinks it is civillised but lets the very criminals treated harshly in other countries back on the streets to reoffend. If the troubles in your patch should of taught us is the law has to be firm or lawlessness takes over.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

to me british law means CRIMINALS before VICTIMS end of story.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

I would have to agree with you on that one Cashman.

When I caught somone breaking into my car last year (on my property as well I hasten to add) he got let off and I got into trouble becasue I gave him a bit of a slapping!

Thing is I had no choice in the matter, but becasue he comes of worse I'm the one who has to pay for it.

It seems to me that if you find intruders on your property then the law actually gives them the right to do as they please!

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

That stupid reasonable force rule again Wolfie. Its very inconsistant.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

It is very inconsistent.

Though the only reason I got into trouble (apparently) is because he was 16!

In my mind if they are big enough and stupid enough to attack someone on their property then they get whats coming to them!

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

He proberly knew if you retaliated he would get off with it on the bases the clout you gave him was his punishment. The police cant lift him so do you instead.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

It would not surprise me in the slightest.

What miffs me most about the current law is that you are (at least in the case of dealing with people 16and under) not allowed to defend yourself.

The irony is the bloke was bigger than me.

I think they expect us to ask them there age before we hit them back!

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

thats great considering its mostly the under 16's who are carrying out all the knifings and muggings ...i wonder if they are looking any bricklayers in patagonia ,its nearly time for a move i think....

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Be better moving to Singapore they have it as a crime to spit chuggy on the pavement. A nice clean law abiding place. ;)

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Is that with each other? They should have entered into a Civil Partnership first & made everything legal.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Yes.


Unlike Britain it is quite common in Saudi.


Don't get your knickers in a twist about some old queen running you up the aisle of the nearest registry office Tealeaf. Your old enough and ugly enough to say no, or alternatively knee them in the cloisters.

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

strange but why does that not surprise me:mad:

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

have you seen the size of 16year olds these days ..? my advice to anyone who catches and intruder and fancies their chances is to beat the snot out of them and leave them in the back alley

let them ring the police and deny everything when asked, it is ridiculous that someone can eneter another peresons home and become the victim

luckily though the courts are listening/siding with the victims more these days as in the case with mr butterworth a few months ago

Re: australian hung in singapore
 

Its taken the courts long enough to realise there is 2 sides to every case and not the one of the deprived drug taking disadvantaged teen. If found in the back ally how do they prove it was you if you are smart enough.:Banane29: :Banane26: :hitting8: :behead: :thefinger :microwave :spank: :stop:
