What City Do You Belong In?
HAHA this is fun rite?
Oh anyway, in this season of love, let's share this love with people who really need it.
Was just browsing thru the papers, and saw that convicted criminal Took's family going around asking for people to petition to get him off death row. I think they just don't understand the Singaporean government... that just won't work. But anyway, I guess they must be pretty desperate. I guess it should hurt quite a bit knowing that from this minute on, your loved one's days are numbered. Literally.
And then I read about these Singaporeans asking his middle aged dad, desperately amassing help for his son, to go die with him. I dunno if these were the exact words used, but oh well... it's just terrible.
And then at TBP mrt station just now, I saw Took's wife. She looked worn out. Seemed like everyone was staring at her.. she just looked down and away from the curious gazes of people around her. That sight alone drew pity from deep within of all our hearts, a huge contrast from all the brightly colored hearts hung around the shopping centre and the beautiful flowers being sold just a short distance away. Makes one wonder how anybody could bear to rub salt onto their wounds.
Admittedly, Took was at fault.
But I'm definitely anti-capital punishment. I understand the reasons why sometimes there is no choice but to implement it, especially for a small country like us, to maintain law and order. But from a humanitarian point of view, it is definitely no go.
Two wrongs do not make one right.
You could choose to lock him away, give him a life sentence to prevent him from harming others again. I see no reason why he should be put to death when this is a good alternative. A life sentence is arguably as good a deterrant as a death sentence. Agree?
I dunno where Mrs Took was going, but she disappeared after a while. I tried looking around to see if I could find Took's dad. If he came up to me with that petition, I would sign it, look him in the eye and smile at him, and let him feel the warmth a fellow human being SHOULD offer to another in times of devastations.
Everybody should learn to put themselves in other's shoes. Could u understand the hurt and pain he must be feeling at this point in his life? So much hurt it numbed him to the extent that putting down his dignity to ask for petitions could become an everyday routine. It is not easy to ask for strangers to sign for a clemency plea for your son, who is a convicted criminal. Especially considering his age.
Those who could still give him those biting remarks should be ashamed of themselves.
He did no wrong. He shouldn't have to suffer for the wrongs of his son.

i agree with you on this man.. (is this the first time we have agreed on something?) The final judgement ain't really something for us to decide.. and killing him will be a warning for murderers.. but really.. it won't bring the dead gal back.. to think his father is willing to go thru such a humbling act to beg on the streets and pple are simply merciless. Shame on these Singaporeans. Write to Forum abt this! These pple ought to be enlightened..
