The relaxation on captial punishment by Singapore govt is due to
external pressure, human rights group, the west and many other jiak
liao bee NGOs are behind the pressure exertion to our govt.
Having said that, Singapore, without any resources, depend very
much on global economy, the likes of US, China and some western
countries with a huge economy potential for Singapore in term of
business and investment, the pressure is at time, aligned with a
need to lax on our local laws on capital punishment so as to join
group like Apex, OEDC, and many other economy
forum and summits.
As our laws diversified itself to gain popularity in our land,
the govt must be careful on what they are setting, which will be a
precedent of laws, as such, this sentencing on a PRC killing a Singaporean TD, will fix as life
sentencing, any later rules will be arguemental.
On the other hand, not being racial discriminating, if it was a
Local killing a TD, or malaysian..will the ruling be different??
Therefore, the impact of such ruling is not pure in nature, as man
make policies and laws, and man do make mistakes. Hopefully, this
do not become a big mistake just for the sake of PRC.
