Iswaran’s sentencing turned into a statement of Singapore’s justice system - and good news for the PAP
The presiding judge stole the show - but for all the best reasons. And despite seeing Iswaran sent to prison for a year, even PAP can be glad about the outcome.
Iswaran’s case has caused long-lasting damage to Singapore - but it’s not the ex-minister’s fault
Public servants should exhibit discernment in their work. This includes both ministers as well as the members of the justice system.
Why British Opium Wars are relevant to Singapore
Some people in Singapore have tried to argue, in the recent spat between MHA and Richard Branson over drug policy, that bringing up British mid-19th century Opium Wars in China is somehow not relevant to Singapore and out of place in the exchange. I beg to differ. It may seem
Drug spat with Richard Branson: activists are not stakeholders, the society is
One thing the woke left has always excelled at is its ability to inflate its importance with meaningless words. All the "activists", "NGOs", "advocates", "campaigners" are really just euphemisms for "parasites". Because that's what they are, isn'
Branson chickens out of drug policy debate
So, predictably, Richard Branson has chickened out from public debate on drug policy with K Shanmugam Sc but the way he did that reveal just what a nauseatingly disgusting person he is (much like all hippie do-gooders, though). In a statement posted on his blog on Monday and addressed to
Singapore should be proud of death penalty
I find it quite funny when activists try to suggest Singapore either is or should be ashamed of executing criminals, and that they somehow shed a light and draw global attention to this allegedly inhumane practice. In reality, people like Kirsten Han do a remarkably valuable job of reminding every

Yes, death penalty deters drug trafficking
As another couple of traffickers are about to be hanged, HR activists are out again to whine about the injustice and inhumanity of the capital punishment.What they often like to claim is that there's no proof death penalty deters drug smuggling, according to various "studies"
Why it’s more important to target drug traffickers than cartel leaders
While we're talking about drug trafficking in Singapore I thought it was important to address one other demand peddled by the activist do-gooders - that drug traffickers/mules are just small cogs in the machine and that it is more important to target and jail the bosses of
How Singapore defeated a heroin epidemic in the 1970s
And why "human rights activists" are worse than drug dealers
Nagaenthran could be spared if his IQ was 169
So, another two drug smugglers are about to get the noose and bleeding-heart activists are out in full force (they even managed to recruit Richard Branson to join in) decrying the reportedly "inhumane" penalty that's soon to be carried out in Singapore.They have managed to
