According to the article “Does the Punishment fit the Crime,” Written by David Powel
discusses the system of government occurring in Singapore and how much time is received for
each crime committed. The time received for each punishment is questionable. The punishments
themselves
Within the article the author talks about what happened to a man who robbed his
apartment and how he went through a punishment of 10 years in prison. For example in the
article it says, “ When I lived in Singapore , my apartment was robbed and the robber was
sentenced to ten years in prison and 10 strokes with a cane.” For what reason is there to send a
man to prison for 10 years over a simple robbery. The idea it self is unjust. Where is the justice in
that?
What is justice? Do people even know the definition of justice? Do we? Cause it seems
like nowadays anything goes. Can we follow up with justice? Its purpose? Justice a noun
definition the quality of being just; fairness. The principle of moral rightness; decency. The
governmental system in Singapore is not justice. It seems corrupted using its power to send fear
within others. A tyrannical government. How can we stop it? What can we do? I hope that
somewhere out there someone with enough power to change the unfairness of the government in
Singapore takes notice of the situation.
With the unfair punishments happening in Singapore what other places is this occurring.
How can we prevent it from happening?
