British Man Tells Story of Life in Bangkok Prison in New Book
You really should read what you link to, before you post. The penalty for drug trafficking in Singapore depends on the amount of controlled substance in possession: Less than the mandatory death penalty: The penalty can range from caning (up to 24 strokes) to life in prison. Mandatory death penalty: The death penalty is the penalty for possessing, manufacturing, importing, exporting, or trafficking controlled substances in amounts that meet the mandatory death penalty. Singapore has executed low to mid-level drug traffickers 16 times since March 2022. In July 2023, Saridewi Djamani became Singapore's first woman to be executed since 2004. Death Penalty: For certain types and quantities of drugs, the death penalty is mandatory. For example: Heroin: Possession of more than 15 grams (0.53 ounces) can lead to a death sentence. Cocaine: Possession of over 30 grams (1.06 ounces). Methamphetamine (Ice): Possession of more than 250 grams (8.8 ounces). The death penalty is generally mandatory if an individual is caught trafficking these quantities, though the court has some discretion in cases where the person has cooperated significantly with authorities. -

Thais in Los Angeles Protest Against PM Paetongtarn’s Visit
They are not whining about that. What they are whining about, is that they have come to another country, which opened their eyes. Today they can see how corrupted everything is, and how specific clans push themselves to power. That´s the real reason behind the protests.
