Convicted Drug Trafficker Dies

The Herald reports on Nguyen Tuong Van, the Austrailan drug trafficker, who was hung at 11.00 am NZDT.

Personally I believe only a fool would enter any country in Asia with any drugs - let alone half a kilo of pure "product", that after cutting would yield 25,000 hits.

He wasnt ignorant of the law, he knew the risks - and he has paid the price.

What I find amazing is how other nations will interfere in the internal politics of another country to try and change they way another society chooses to live their lives. Even the UN gets involved - calling the process illegal.

I've been to Singapore - it's a lovely place. It's clean - probably because there are laws against littering with large fines for non compliance.

I believe you can't buy chewing gum there without a dental prescription - and it's great not to have reminants of chewing gum stuck to the soles of your shoes, cause by the arsewipes who spit their gum out on the street.

Ironically, I felt much safer walking around there than I do my own neighbourhood - but that's probably because we only let our drug traffickers off with a smacked hand (and a cuddle afterward to see theres no mental anguish).

Its a shame that some people refuse to live within the structure of our society - and I ask you what is the point of a society if it isnt to the benefit of those who live in it?

For those who break the rules there has to be a consequence - and in clear defined exceptional cases the needs of the many outweight the needs of the few (or the one).

It's time to say enough - to draw the line in the sand and deal with those that refuse to live the rules of our society. Singapore has made their line in the sand - and I congratulate them for not bowing to those who would seek to undo their hard fought efforts; to maintain the quality of life for their people, and providing a just punishment to those to perpetuate a vile blight on humanity - those who supply Class A drugs.
