Violence has always been the answer 😌

No problem with it myself. I have no idea why the U.S. and Europe simply tolerate that kind of behavior in the middle of urban streets.

Another proof of humans devolving instead of evolving.

I guess it´s safe to say that harsher punishments don´t lead to a lower crime rate - but on the contrary lead to something that criminals stay criminals.

Of course the dead drug traffickers wouldn´t smuggle any drugs any more, but others will if the circumstances have a need / demand for it. Also having a death sentence might lead to more brutal criminals.

If You don´t show the people how to do it in another way, like making a living without being a criminal - it has little to no effect.

Except Singapore has some of the lowest crime rates in the world. You can walk down city streets and not see a piece of gum on the pavement, trash on the sidewalk, or graffiti on a wall. Good luck finding a major American or European city you can say that about.

Singapore isn't where the scams and the scammers are from...

It's a good idea, hopefully they will extradite foreign scammers to be caned too.

Good luck finding an American or European country with a low unemployment rate as in Singapore. They also are among the richest countries. They have good education, high standard of living, health care, 90% of the people own their housing. Might be that the crime rate is connected to that - rather than the punishments.

Like: there are many studies about it. Not especially Singapore, but in general. And clean city streets might be a cultural thing - combined with a working city cleaning system - or the super high population density. I wouldn´t throw the filters of my cigarettes on the road or sidewalk either, but instead throw them in the bin - even if nobody would punish me if i would throw them on the road. Perhaps people would occasionally shake their heads though - or ask: "Was that necessary? Look over there. There´s a bin."

And it´s actually a super small country. Like it´s basically only a city, on an Island. Andorra has a lower crime rate, and a bunch of other European countries are not far off - and none would have the death sentence or cane people.

They could make them do nice things for the community.
See the value of working for each other and may become a positive economic force.

This is the kind of leftist view bringing down western societies.
