By Peter Murphy, published 18/11/2021

An intellectually disabled man on death row in Singapore has won another short reprieve, but the global campaign to save him is growing.

International Law. What a joke. China breaks it all time and gets away with it, largely unremarked.

If anyone in Australia, where courts are loath to do their job to protect society from evil people, feels the need to emote about foreigners in foreign countries, their concern should be with the victims of this creature, whose punishment should have been carried out 10 years ago when his guilt was established. Singapore's 'cruel and unusual' punishment lies in dragging out the affair.

And as a comparison to China. The number of State executions in China is a State secret apparently.
But their efficiency in processing judicial outcomes of execution are breathtakingly quick.

I did read an article some time ago describing that procedural efficiency: Allegedly I should add, execution vans line up at the courthouse to take the captive to the edge of town for dispensing justice “Chinese” style.
That “Chinese” justice also includes the harvesting of organs as a prerequisite.

What a pity their engineering ability doesn’t extend beyond the production of replicas that don’t work.

Imagine what a joke international law would become if China and its allies were to buy off support from a majority of the world's nations.

The hanging was prevented because the man has covid? Does that actually prevent him from being hanged? Or should we wait until he is double dose, vaccinated?

On that topic. I agree that the non vaccinated should be excluded by law from various venues, the workplace and our public health system, if they get sick!

Why? Because the virus mutates in unvaccinated hosts! And could, with their abysmally ignorant assistance, mutate into far deadlier, more contagious varients!

We can't force mass medication on the populace say the politicians as they legislate to put/pour fluoride in the town supply.

And if the unvaccinated want to take their chances with their health outcomes? Fine! But not with yours and mine!

And if mandatory testing shows they have the virus? Then how about they are immediately flown to island quarantine and compelled to stay there, for at least a month! no ifs, buts or maybes!

Alan B what is it with you and Covid B? You should seek professional help for this paranoia you are suffering. From the start this has been a world wide mind control exercise. China showed people dying in the street and then immediately collected by operatives in full PPE?
Then a test that is wrong as often as it is right? Then lock downs and an unrelenting fear campaign world wide?
Italy re-jigged their mortality results which resulted in a 90% reduction so do not come the old soldier on deaths.
Now here you are putting us on quarantine island which is a lot better than your previous suggestion of army snipers killing us but Alan.
Calm down, it was all a hoax, so called vaccines don't work but you are happy to take a third and then a fourth. Please stop trying so hard to oppress your fellow citizens. Whether you like it or not we all enjoy the same rights as you.

JB nobody has the right to willfully spread a disease that kills people! Be it the virus HIV, ebola or covid. And if folk will not accept a free vaccine. Why should any other person be put at risk by their, I don't give a shite about any of you, attitude!

My right to remain unaffected by, in your face anti-vaxers, trumps their so-called rights to sponge on the public health system or play host to a mutating virus that still can mutate into deadlier and deadlier strains! But, only in the unvaccinated!

I'd put my life on the line to protect the real rights of fellow citizens! Those rights don't include killing babies with whooping cough just because a few loud-mouthed ignorant new Australians have a seriously unfounded fear of a tiny pinprick.

Nor do any of us have a right to own our own facts and or spread falsehood and BS misinformation. I couldn't give a flying french frankfurt, if the factual information I've posted, boils what's left of your tiny mind! Pull your clueless head in "Dr" Bowers.

Must we wait until a new and even deadlier variant starts killing the newborn before the abysmally ignorant, unvaccinated get the, too late by half, message?

I stand by my fact-checked and accurate remarks and completely refute your attempted juvenile rebuttal!

If former High Court judge and renowned Australia hater Michael Kirby is against the death penalty, then I am all for it.

Asian people are smarter than white people. Most Asian countries do not have serious drug problems like western countries because they execute drug traffickers. They make it as plain and as understandable as it can be. If you import or deal in drugs and we catch you, we will probably kill you. It is not surprising that the bloke that Singapore intends to hang has a supposed IQ of 69, because you would have to be a blithering idiot to deal in drugs in Asian countries with the death penalty.

This guy deserves the Darwin Award, and the genome of the entire world will improve with his passing. Nothing like a bit of eugenics to increase overall IQ levels.

Anyhoo, hanging is a sure fire way to cure covid-19.

An older bloke told me last year that, if he contracts COVID-19 he'd go & spread it as far & wide as he could. That's the mentality we need to work on not shouting conspiracies !

Alan B you are as likely as me to spread Covid. Five Sydney Gyms that only allowed the double vaxxed were all Covid hotspots? Never mind the facts you and your stupidity will never understand. Fear is the key here. You have been frightened, literally out of your wits.
This is terrible and is afflicting many other Australians, such a shame.

Surely the most important thing when he is executed is that the only music to be played throughout the jail the night before should be "swing"

I lived in Singapore for 10 years. There is a mandatory element to a lot of sentencing there - especially related to firearm and drug offences. Whilst we lived there, a German citizen was arrested and had just enough cocaine to be classed as trafficking and the court imposed the mandatory death sentence. In her case, the reanalysis showed she was just under and so the sentence was made life. A diplomatic row was avoided. Doesn't seem to be possible in this current case.
