Singapore will kill Aussie in two weeks
Tragic news from Singapore, or, as I call it, Sing-Singapore."An execution date has been set for a Melbourne man convicted of drug trafficking in Singapore.
"Mr Lex Lasry, lawyer for convicted Australian drug trafficker Nguyen Toung Van says he will be executed in Singapore on December 2."

The case barely got reported by the local media in Singapore. This case reflects Singapore at two levels: 1. A regime that wants to keep its population insulated from the greater global community through the suppression of freedom of expression. 2. The apathy of the general public who is more concerned with the accumulation of material wealth.
Thanks for your comment, Andrew. I'm pleased to hear from you and to look at your excellent blog. I take it from your flickr that you have a new baby daughter, Faith. Congratulations! She is exquisite and lucky to have such a father.
