And while the response of the government was cautious and calibrated at appeasing the conservative majority, emphasizing that any change to 377A (i.e. its
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
