Although I am not part of the SADPC, I am part of TOC and have been involved in the campaign to save Vui Kong’s life since March this year.

Like Rachel, I am also against the death penalty for all crimes.

However, I am right now focusing on Vui Kong’s case, because as Amir Hamzah has accurately pointed out, many of us working on this campaign are doing it outside of our full-time jobs. We have not the time or resources to spend all day everyday campaigning for all cases on death row (not to mention that there are probably many cases that aren’t even reported, and consequently we don’t know about).

Vui Kong’s case also comes with some urgency now, seeing that his case is now at the clemency appeal stage, which means that he could be hung at any time after 26th August.

If I had unlimited energy, time and resources, I would not hesitate to lend my voice to speak out against each death penalty case I come across. But unfortunately, I am only one human, with my own personal responsibilities, family, etc.

Although, if YOU would be willing to lend a hand and join us, I’m sure we could try to do more!

WTF!

if have time, pls help to pick up the used tissue paper lying on the floor then waste it on petitioning for drug traffickers

these drug traffickers deserve to die.

I cannot except this excuse. They only take up cases when got political advantage.

How can pick and choose which death penalty case you want to campaign for??? If they not serious then they should just close shop.

Drugs kill people slowly and is the scum of the earth that needs to be wiped out. Countless of families have been broken because a member became addicted to drugs. Crime rates can be higher because of junkies robbing people of money for their fix.

I support PAP on this, anybody related to the drug trade deserved to be hanged and not waste taxpayers' money to keep him alive. Some people have misplaced their sympathies just because Vui Kong is a young bloke but he do know what exactly is he doing. If he is let off because of his age, all drug syndicates have to do is to find kids as drug mules and they are let off scot-free.

SADPC is already biased for a start. If any minister's son got caught with drugs, you can be assured they will keep quiet. SADPC is more of being used by politicians to further their own gains. They are only fighting this case because it is more known. I don't see them fighting for those low-profile but also drug mule cases.
