I agreed with the tough law in SG dealing with illegal drugs. It has to be tough to maintain law and orders. I think staying in SG is so much safer and fortunate.
I personally know a teenage into pills...Initially, he took pill just for fun like others but soon he was taking pills regularly and was caught a few times having pills, drugs and stealing. His parents have to always go to police station to "bail" him out. To any Thai teenagers, if caught having pills/drugs just pay and nothing will happen. Thus no one is afraid and drugs still continue. Will anyone wants this to happen to his/her kid in SG???
Drink driving is another big concern in Thailand. My ger's relative, whole family who was in a drink, driving car accident, the whole family died on the spot except an infant. Without tough law, a Thai will think, it is ok to drink and drive, if caught just give money.
Most of us did not encounter the situations mentioned, will think SG law is tough and inhuman but if incident does happened to his/her family then he/she will realize why aren't the law tough to stop druggies and drink driving???
