I AM writing on behalf of Miss Poon Yuen-chung and the imminent death she now faces.
While laws are laws and what I am about to write others will argue, we need to take a different avenue in the sentences we hand down.
This goes not only for Singapore, but the entire world.
There is no question that Miss Poon committed a crime punishable by death.
She simply did not think of the ramifications if she got caught. And we know she did not think she would die.
Because of her youth and her stark ignorance, because she was not educated as to what would truly happen if indeed she got caught, Miss Poon faces death. But will her death deter others from committing the same crime? No. Plain and simple.
