If you're planning a trip to Singapore I suggest you leave the "kind" at home. They aren't joking with their war on drugs. If you get caught holding, you'll get hanged.
--Daka Guinea, 21, a Zambian woman, and Chijioke Stephen Obioha, 29, a Ghanaian man, were arrested April 9 after Guinea was allegedly caught handing the drugs over to Obioha at a budget hotel in an eastern Singapore red-light district.
Obioha also faces a second charge of possessing 6.6 kilograms (14 pounds) of marijuana in a stash allegedly found in his residence, and a third charge of consumption.
Singapore has some of the world's toughest and most thoroughly enforced drug laws, with a mandatory death sentence for trafficking more than 15 grams (0.53 ounces) of heroin or 500 grams (17.64 ounces) of marijuana--
If the two are convicted they will be sentenced to death. Two other African men were executed in January for Heroin. This trial is set for June 26th.
I wonder what stories like this has done for Singapore's tourism? Read
