Damn I know Singapore have the capital punishment, they give you those small pieces of paper right before you land saying they'll execute you if they catch you trafficking drugs, but hanging? I always assume it would be a lethal injection or something.

Drugs need to come into the country to do those, Singapore don't want that.

Well that's dark. Are bullets considered a drug as well?

Hanging is probably more humane than lethal injection
