But I am more afraid of what will happen if we don’t stand up for the truth, for our freedom, and for justice, when we are given the chance. I am afraid, over all else, that if I don’t do this, I will lose my moral compass and betray my integrity.

MHA has instructed the POFMA Office to investigate me for my refusal to comply with the POFMA order. If charges are brought, I will face a fine, and/or prison time, and yes, that is scary.

4/ Regardless, the judge found him guilty of trafficking around 1.5kg of cannabis. Trafficking in 500g of cannabis or more carries the mandatory death penalty in Singapore. If his appeal does not succeed, he will be executed at dawn on Wednesday.

3/ An application has been filed before the court, calling for a re-opening of his case, on the basis that DNA evidence and fingerprints only tied him to a much smaller amount of cannabis, which he admitted to being in possession of.
