Latest: Singapore single mother awaits death row in Malaysia for drug trafficking. On the pretext of a business trip to China, Iqah was handed a suitcase containing heroin arranged by her Nigerian boyfriend and was arrested by Malaysian Immigration. A campaign is underway to raise funds for the appeal. To find out more, read

We have also heard that since Vui Kong's appeal started, there has been an unofficial stay of execution for all prisoners on death row in Changi Prison, pending the decision of the court on Yong's case. As the case has been dismissed by the Court of Appeal, we anticipate a Changi gallows bloodbath in a scale not seen since the Pulau Senang uprising in 1965 when 18 men were convicted of murder and hanged in a single Friday morning.

Singapore, which routinely persecute dissenters and critics, continue to hang young drug runners while at the same time work closely with Burmese military generals, and has invested billions in business ties with Burma, one of the biggest heroin manufacturing countries the world.

Death in 6 paragraphs: Foong Chee Peng


The following is a High Court judgment on 28 April 2011, involving the appellant, 45 year old Singaporean Fong Chee Peng. He was sentenced to death after pleading guilty of possession of heroin for the intention of selling it. In a brief judgment, all of 6 paragraphs, Justice Choo Han Teck sentenced him to the gallows.

Judgment
28 April 2011


Choo Han Teck J:

1       On 30 September 2009 at about 4.03pm, officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau (“CNB”) broke down the door to a flat known as #01-04, Sunshine Grove at 2 Jalan Labu Merah. The flat had two bedrooms. The accused, Foong Chee Peng, was arrested in the master bedroom. His sister, Foong Siew Found, was arrested in the second bedroom. She was not charged for the drugs found in the flat. The accused was, however, charged for trafficking in 40.23g of diamorphine contained in thirty-six packets, two straws, and one container found in his room. The charge was preferred under s 5(1)(a) read with s 5(2) of the Misuse of Drugs Act (Cap 185, 2008 Rev Ed). It carries the death penalty under s 33 of the said Act.

2       After the charge was read to the accused, he informed the court that he wished to plead guilty. I asked that the Prosecution proceed with the evidence, and marked the Prosecution’s Opening Address as an exhibit as the accused indicated that he accepted the case against him contained therein.

3       The CNB officers searched the master bedroom which was occupied by the accused and found the drugs which were the subject matter of the charge. Station Inspector Ng Tze Chiang Tony (“SI Ng”) (PW9) recorded a contemporaneous statement from the accused by communicating with him in Mandarin. This statement consisted of a series of questions and answers. SI Ng recorded the questions and answers in English and translated them into Mandarin save for the answer to question number 3 which the CNB interpreter, Wong Png Leong (PW22), subsequently translated. In this statement, the accused acknowledged that the substances seized were, inter alia, heroin (viz, diamorphine) and that they belonged to him for the purposes of sale to others.

4       The accused was also served with the Notice of Caution and a statement was recorded pursuant to s 122(6) of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap 68, 1985 Rev Ed). He admitted that there was no threat, inducement or promise made to him when he stated in the s 122(6) statement that “the things belong to me and got nothing to do with my younger sister” [sic]. By “things” the accused must be referring to the drugs referred to in the charge that was read to him to which his cautioned statement was made in response.

5       The forensic officers testified to the nature and weight of the drugs seized and they conformed to the charge. Consequently, I called upon the accused to rebut the prosecution case. After the standard allocution was read to him, he informed the court that he elected to remain silent and had no evidence to adduce.

6       Reviewing the evidence, I was satisfied that the prosecution had made out a case against the accused beyond reasonable doubt and I thus found the accused guilty as charged and convicted him accordingly.

  1. Monstrous!

    Justice Choo Han Teck along with other members of the Singapore courts and law enforcement that participates in the immoral murders of people for engaging in non-violent, consensual behavior are barbaric troglodytes. It seems impossible that decent people with a conscience could perpetrate this state sponsored horror.

    He and the system he serves makes a mockery of justice and is a rival even to America's draconian system in manner if not in scale.

    RIP Fong Chee Peng who was executed in 2014. Sympathies to his younger sister and other family and friends. I hope and pray they can find peace and comfort after being subjected to this nightmare.

    1. At least the country doesn't drop bombs in other foreign territories under the pretense of "justice".

    2. You probably don't know the definition of pretense sir. What Mr. Tanas said was spot on, go have fun with my comment. I do love a challenge.

  2. I'm afraid, justice choo han teck(it's not an error, the capitalizing of the first letters. Capitalization of the letters in your name would show a sign of respect of which I have none for you) that I would have to agree With Mr. Tanas above to an extent. I wouldn't agree that it's monstrous or that you are a troglodyte as either one of those terms defines an element which has a level of intent. Showing at least a small amount of intelligence. Whereas what you've accomplished seems to be something more of a single cell organism moving about mindlessly such as a jellyfish or amoeba. You're just afraid. And it's without wonder. you've probably been following these ancient rules set down by people that have been long dead, way before the best part of you ran down your father's leg or your mother's jaw. It has been my experience that the most creative, loving, joyful, happy contributive people to the planet tend to be addicts once you remove the drug. But you'll never know. Who knows what music what beautiful art, what Contributions to society you've destroyed with your archaic pitiful sense of f****** Justice. Hell has a very specific corner waiting for you when you die. And I'll be waiting there for you. As for the real troglodytes who left comments peddling their cheap f****** c***, well... f*** y**
