i feel sorry for Tochi but as a law student i feel that it is necessary to point out that the peoblem with the system and what you are opposing to is not so much the death penalty but the presumption of guilt in the Misuse of Drugs Act, under which Tochi had been charged. At the end of the day, it is a policy decision made by the legislature to take a harsh approach towards people dealing with drugs. As sad as Tochi’s death is, our grieve should not divert us from the real problem in the system.

Hi Everyone i feel so bad that i can’t imagine what to say. I really feel so sorry for TOCHI and his family but one thing is sure for all of us and that is “we will all die someday”. It take a Nigerian like me to feel the pains Tochi has gone through to make a living in football travelling from one country to another. Well as a Christain i believe GOD is the last judge in everything we do on earth. However, Tochi is dead {whether guilty or not guilty} and those that have hands in this will die someday too. bye

He should be hanged cos that is the law. If people dun follow Singapore law, then country would become riot, then how? Law Is Law, we should all follow it. Otherwise it is not call Law anymore. We want to be biomedical Hub, Media Hub, Law Hub, Trading Hub, Telecoms Hub, IT Hub, Casino Hub, Banking Hub, Marine Industry Hub, Airline Hub, Transport Hub, Civil Service Hub, Desalination Hub, Ammunition Hub, Landmine Hub, Electronics Hub, Logistics Hub, Energy Hub, Harry’s Hub, but we don’t need to be a Drug Trafficking Hub.

Dear Aaron,

I think one cause of the apathy in Singapore regarding capital punishment, is that very few people have carefully thought about their views on it.

To help stimulate some discussion (and self-examination) among the apathetic, the advocates and abolitionists, I have written an article that is more questions than answers. Please feel free to give it a read:

Best wishes,
