Speaking in personal capacity here. Disregard my status for the moment.
If supporting the death penalty makes me appear to be a dickhead in your opinion, then so be it.
He could have smuggled cigarettes( which, by the way, is quite a big problem here, because hey, you don't swing if you get caught, and dang is it profitable). He could have also smuggled liquor, or pirated DVDs( which any local Singaporean and/or Malaysian will tell you is profitable as well, if you don't get caught that is).
But no. He
chose to smuggle
heroin. Fine, so he decided to smuggle drugs, but even then, I say again, he
chose to smuggle the very drug that has the most extreme penalties over here.
I do not support the drug trade, but I am telling you that he could have taken other options, like esctasy, opium, etc... but heck no, he
chose to smuggle heroin.
Or even better, he could have smuggled it to a country that has no death penalty, but what do you know? He
chose to smuggle it through Singapore, where we practically stop short of literally beating it into your brains that it is really not a good idea to smuggle drugs in here.
He
chose his fate. It is as simple as that.
So yes, I agree with his sentencing.
