Really? Do you have the figures since the gov imposed the death penalty on drug offences, or you r using just the last few years? And what is the Japanese 'drug prevalence rate' if I may asked as compared to us? Has their culture and other social behaviour being factored in as well?

yes , im using the last few years as example . its more then enough . if death can scare off those ppl there wont be any increase of drugs abuser , every year . remember , your goverment will not let you know the real figure because they wants you to believe that their death penalty work . they will never admited their own mistake . dont sound as if you just know your goverment .
In any case, Japan only executes about 2 or 3 persons a year. The Singapore government is very coy about their own figures, but it did reveal in Parliament that we executed 340 persons between 1991 and 2000. Considering our small population, it is believed that Singapore has the highest per capita execution rate in the world!
Singapore indeed has a low rate of drug abuse. Only about 0.1 percent of our population are considered to have so succumbed. But this is also the case for Finland, Sweden and Mexico. Yet these countries do not need the death penalty to enjoy the same low rates of drug abuse.
Drug abuse and trafficking do not warrant a death sentence. I agree that it should be dealt with severely but not to the extent of taking away someone’s life.
Thailand too has the death penalty for drug trafficking but Thailand has almost 2.6 million drug abusers aged five to 68, including 2.4 million methamphetamine users, according to an official health survey.
now ..do your maths if death penalty works ....
