Singapore enforces some of the world's toughest drug laws. Anyone aged 18 or over who is convicted of carrying more than 15 grams (0.5 ounce) of heroin, or 30 grams (1.1 ounces) of cocaine, 500 grams (17.6 ounces) of cannabis or 250 grams (8.8 ounces) of methamphetamines faces mandatory execution by hanging. Moreover, in 2001 Singapore’s highest court ruled that the act of helping dealers pack heroin into smaller sachets for sale is as bad as selling the drug. So anyone who does the packing faces a death sentence.
In November 2012, following the periodic general review started in July 2011, Singapore’s Parliament passed relevant amendments to the Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code abolishing the mandatory death sentences in some drug trafficking and murder cases, and making the process of appeal automatic in cases where the accused has been given the death sentence. Under the revised Penal Code, the mandatory death penalty will only apply to cases where killings were intentional. In addition, the mandatory death penalty will continue to apply in most cases, particularly for those who manufacture or traffic in drugs and those who fund, organise or abet drug trafficking. Otherwise, the court will decide if the accused should be given the death sentence or life imprisonment. The court may also order caning in cases where life imprisonment is ordered. All existing cases of 32 inmates on death row, whose appeals had been dealt with previously, would be considered for re-sentencing under the new law.
On 7 July 2014, a Bill to amend the Radiation Protection Act was passed in Parliament allowing for the imposition of the death penalty for nuclear-related offences that cause harm or death. There are no nuclear facilities in Singapore at the moment, so this aspect of the Act prepares for future scenarios. It can also be used in a situation where an incident happens in the region but the resulting radiation affects Singapore.
In 2014, Singapore hanged two men for drug trafficking, in the first executions carried out in the city-state. In July 2011, executions were suspended as part of a general review of the drug situation and the death penalty that led to a new legislation in November 2012.
The last executions had taken place in 2011, when two people were put to death for murder and two for drug trafficking.
Singapore executed at least 427 people since 1991, most of them for drug-related crimes.
At least three new death sentences were imposed in 2014 for drug trafficking.
Executions are carried out at dawn. Relatives are generally informed a week previous to the scheduled date. Official statistics on executions were unusually released.
On December 18, 2014, Singapore voted against the Resolution on a Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty at the UN General Assembly.
