      Don't be stupid! The news site mentioned that this is an allegation. To protect the site, the names of the crew of the vessel cannot be released until someone is charged and the allegations become fact

      You missed the boat. Drug addicts,crackheads and mental problems stemming from the abuse of drugs alcohol (let's not forget that one) and other substances have already infiltrated our communities.

      4 of the crew members was brand new to the boat. How are you so sure they knew what was on board. This is like saying you are a new conductor on a bus and drugs is found in the bus. Should you be punished if you did not know it was there. Whoever is responsible should be punished. Not the innocent people trying to make a honest living and not knowing what these crooks was up to. I highly doubt the whole crew knew there was drugs there or they would have not been there.

    In Singapore possession of illegal drugs is punishable by death. When your passport is stamped on entry these l words are stamped there. Not saying I agree but it’s a perspective…

    Why are people still using drugs? Some are really in physical pain, some are in mental anguish from growing up abused, and some just want to escape the horrors of this world like unemployment, can't get housing, or just feeling useless. Drugs will never go away because drugs ease the pain, no matter what it is. There should not be a war on drugs because this is a war that will never end.

      Seriously?
      No disrespect but you are beyond delusional.
      Those life inconveniences you mentioned and theinability to cope are drug byproducts.
