Capital crimes are: murder, treason, offenses against the President, illegal possession of arms, and causing an innocent person to be executed by bearing false witness. Singapore has a mandatory death sentence for anyone over 18 found guilty of trafficking in more 15g of heroin, 30g of morphine or 500g of marijuana. More than half of the 300 people hanged since 1975 in the staunchly anti-drug city-state were convicted drug traffickers. 15 people were executed in 1999.
