By Suresh Ruberan, published 1/5/2017

Eight human beings were executed on 29th April 2015. Shot on an island, after midnight, the eight were singing a hymn together.

That mob were in charge of their career path, their only mistake was getting caught. What would be their aided death tally be now if they were not caught.
I have no second thought for them, they were sub human, in it for themselves.

"In the place where penitents stand even the wholly righteous cannot stand" - Babylonian Talmud, Berakhot 34b.

The question whether Mayuran deserved to live is upside-down: did the world deserve to still have the repentant Mayuran?

Living is not a privilege - it is a duty; and living in the body/mind of a drug-dealer, imprisoned and guilt-ridden at that, is a heavy burden indeed. While most of us will have to endure agonising years of slow death, decay and indignity in nursing homes and the like, Mayuran is now free and some even say that he is now with the angels (which is true in some non-literal sense).

Yes, the trade continues after the executions. Why? Not enough executions.

They are definitely eligible for the Darwin awards.
1/. They were idiots for going to Indonesia.
2/. They were idiots for trafficking in illicit drugs.
Makes them prime candidates for the Darwin awards.

A beautiful treatise on the meaning of life and the universality of salvation and the certainty of hope this engenders. Life in many guises form the platform for redemption, especially but not limited to death and dying as was the course in Myuran's shortened life. Congratulations

" It is clear the current approach of law enforcement has failed. All it has done is waste public monies to tune of billions and made some criminals very wealthy."

That's because we don't kill dealers ourselves.

How's the drug problem in Singapore?
