Yes.. about christian bible and stuff... i bet the population of
singaporeans wouldnt buy that because they are brought up being
taught that through punishment its the only way to deter crime..
well i wud agree that punishment is one way to deter criminal but
if there are other ways to low crime rate i wud have take on the
approach.. sounds reasonable?
About executing the wrong prisoners u have mentioned, that is
the main risk... Plus this risk is too sacred to let it happen...
What if you have taken an innocent life wrongly? would that be
terrible? how can you answer to the persons family, friends, the
public and your god.
Regarding the reply to Amnesty international on singapores death
penalty issue recently, i felt that instead of going counter to the
move to abolition, singapore should instead find ways to achieve
abolition. Instead of saying its good, why cant we say " I agree
with you that we can move to abolition, however due to
circumstances we are unable to completely move towards it. For now
we found death penalty to be more effective but we would
definitely find and work for possible options to death
penalty and if that approach is good we oculd adopt it.-progressive
transition."
