    Challenging to criticize Singapore if you’re from somewhere with monthly massacres of school children.

        There is an active policy of not preventing cold massacres. Hope that clarifies the point.

          There is no official “active policy” at the national level that I’m aware of. -As for unofficial policy, that varies from one municipality to the next, and from one state to the next. Is the Singaporean policy of executing cannabis traffickers not an official national policy carried out uniformly across the country?

          … and Singapore has an active policy of condoning and committing murder. That’s bad.

          I pray that clears things up for you.

        aren’t government policy

        That could be debated. They’re certainly at least the standard they walk past and accept.

          if you’re putting officially written and sanctioned government executions in writing up against the unofficial unsanctioned killings not in writing, I’d be more scared of what the government has written down in policy as there is no possible alternative.

          the article doesn’t say anything about the schoolkids POV on the dead traffickers or maybe you should just stay on topic

          I don’t see what schoolkids parents has to do with a government sanctioned execution of a cannabis trafficker.

      Not at all. Murder is murder regardless of the country.

      How could you possibly think that is challenging? Of course it should be criticized.
