>There's a mentaly impaired guy on the death row for smuggling 47 grams of diamorphine in order to fund his dad's life saving medical procedure.

Is that an indictment of Singapore's justice system, or of America's health care system?

47g of heroin on the streets of New York or London looks to be worth about $5000, that won't get you far in a US hospital, and that's assuming 100% of the value went to the trafficker.
