Give a 19 yr old boy who doesnt know any better, a chance. How many of us at 19, didnt make a mistake or judgement error?

totally agree with Fazidah !

I think the pragmatism aspect is quite well illustrated with the judges that go on vacation... Vui to them is just work. We've got to bridge this gap between emotion and cold-blood work as a nation – it permeates every level of society. My wedding car – complete with tassles and all, was ticketed (granted the driver didn't put a ticket). We appealed but no go – if this happened in OZ they officer would have wished the couple well and turned a blind eye.

The force of death cannot be determined by us all-sinners on earth. Who are we to lay the final judgement of death on a fellow human being. The greatest act of mercy to save a life will perpetuate for generations the karma of goodness.
We hope Yong Vui Kong can live and be given a second chance to redeem himself to spread the act of human kindness and the evils of drugs and drug trafficking.

I have faith in Obama. HAHAHA

Its just a short term fix to what is fundamentally a structural unemployment problem. It just rolls the problem to the future, when we'll have to "cheaper" again. And then they'll try to devalue the currency for yet another short term fix. Just bloody reel in the property market man - that's where the problem is really at in competitiveness.

Oops... See More! Government and elite hands are in the cookie jar on that one...cannnot....Guess we'll have to find another way to pass the buck off to the small guy again then.

whahaha good one, Ian! Yi Jian, I hope u r NOT a non-Singaporean, no hard feelings!

Yes. Possibilities are for you if you're a elite of the society. A RI grad, OCS in the SAF then to Lee Kuan Yew Scholarship in NUS. Then you get a management post in a Statutory Board, waiting for your chance in the Parliament.

If you're not an elite,be prepared to serve the elites for them to get their possibilities. If not you can also be a ... See MoreTowkay & exploit the aging uncles & aunties, while minimizing your expenses by hiring those dirt cheap Banglahs & Ah Tiongs. While you declare most of your taxes under business expenses.

not all perceived conservative readers are out to bash folks they don't agree with - and that goes for liberal' n whatnot etc. too :)

Maybe he had forgotten that it is the people who chooses the leaders. This is a Democratic country where the people gets to vote.

We are not talking about Monarchy here in this empire where power is given from father to son. If not this reign would have been called the "Lee Dynasty" instead.

i pity his mum. this is why we should not have the death penalty. rehab not kill.

Easy money. But once he/she get caught it'll be death sentence. This young chap probably didn't think much of the consequences.
