he was hanged this morning.

i'm not for capital punishment neither am i against it. all i am saying is that if people (esp singaporean) wanted to protest against capital punishment, then be consistent. where were all the protests against the death sentence when anthony ler was sentenced? where were the prostests against death penalty when huang na's killer was convicted and sentenced?

why this one? why this case? wot's the difference? how can we choose who should be given the death penalty and who shouldn't?!

the law is reason free from passion. i always believed that aristotle might have been flawed when making this statement but given the outcry derived from this incident, i think he has got it right. a country's law has to be upheld no matter wot. people should not judge others based on their emotions. because emotions cloud they mind and prevent us from thinking clearly and clouds our better judgement.

i'm not for or against the death sentence. i just feel that there is a need for consistency.
