Government: Death penalty prevents 100% from re-offending

In light of a spate of recent criticism from anti-death penalty activists, Singapore’s leaders have clarified that the death penalty, regardless of the situation in which it is applied, prevents 100% of offenders from re-offending.  “Turning offenders away from a life of crime is a key part of our efforts in rehabilitation,” stated PM Lee.  “Our system is foolproof.”  When asked his opinion on the possibility of executing innocent people, youngsters, or uneducated Malaysians, he stated that “they wouldn’t re-offend either.”
