VOICED : Hope for some

The video discusses the case of Free Kong, a drug mule in Singapore's Changi prison, and the proposed changes to the law that could save his life. Currently, judges must impose the death penalty for certain drug offenses, but the new law would allow for life imprisonment in some cases. The changes aim to give judges more discretion, especially for drug couriers who are mentally disabled or cooperate with authorities. However, legal experts doubt these changes will significantly reduce executions. Public opinion in Singapore largely supports the death penalty, but human rights groups argue the changes are insufficient. The law is expected to be amended by the end of the year.
