"Singapore hanged young Australian drug smuggler Tuong Van Nguyen at 6 a.m. Friday (2200 GMT Thursday), despite widespread condemnation in Australia", reports AP news. I am normally not one to try and tell a country what to do, however, doesn't seem to be a bit barbaric to hang an individual for smuggling a small amount of drugs OUT of the country??? WTF?
And travelers, it would behoove you to know the country you're traveling to before you arrive there. Know the rules and regulations, and penalties for breaking the laws. Govt. holds no clout in other countries, so your ass is grass if you get caught w/ your hands in the cookie jar.
Hey Singapore, have a freaking heart. Stop killing people for petty crimes!

I'm sorry to read about this. Very sad. That's the worst thing to have happen to a person -- being imprisoned in another country....
