Singapore executed a 45-year-old citizen on Friday (July 28) for drug trafficking which was the first execution of a woman by the city-state in nearly 20 years, officials stated. "The capital sentence of death imposed on Saridewi Binte Djamani was carried out on 28 July 2023," said the Central Narcotics Bureau, in a statement. The woman was convicted of trafficking "not less than 30.72 grams" of heroin, which is more than twice the volume that paves the way for the death penalty in Singapore.

    You’re not missing much. It’s a soulless place, not to mention remarkably racist. Sure it’s clean and safe, but there’s no vibrancy. I live in South America, in a city that’s considered dangerous by world standards, but I walk out my door and there’s music and life… the city buzzes. Some people like living in a sterile bubble I guess but not me.
