GET EVEN TOUGHER ON DRUGS

Re: Governments Can't Fix This, editorial, July 18. So, the National 
Post believes governments can't fix Toronto's crime problem. Really? 
In the private sector, companies look at "industry best practices" 
for solutions. Which brings us to Singapore, possibly the cleanest, 
safest jurisdiction on Earth, not to mention prosperous with full employment.

Upon landing in Singapore, the arrival card clearly states that drug 
traffickers will be executed. The offender will not die of old age 
before the penalty is carried out. This deterrent is such that the 
penalty is rarely needed.

Singapore is also multi-racial, with a British-based court system. 
Tough treatment of criminals with penalties that are swift, certain 
and severe works beautifully to eliminate crime.
