Four-five rocks!

I myself believe that the punishment given to the NSF was fair and reasonable enough. People may argue that Teo has experienced a ruthless childhood period with relationships being devoid of any other feelings except that of confusion and disgust and he should ought to have a lighter sentence since he became what he is now due to the adverse circumstances he has encountered previously. However after putting myself in the judge’s shoe, I view Teo as a young man with a disturbed childhood, a NSF who took the Oath of Allegiance but broke every single line of it and a man who became a threat to the society when he should be protecting against threats aimed towards Singapore. All these that he’s done remain a fact, and even though I sympathises with Teo with his unpleasant emotional and physical abuse he has to endure as a child, Teo deserved that 110 months of jail and 18 strokes of the cane.

Please imagine that your family members are all planned ill-fated victims of Teo’s stolen rifle, would you still pardon Teo for what he is going to commit even after knowing his horrible past? The answer is going to be a definite ‘No’. Why let other innocent members of the public lives be in jeopardy just because a young NSF equipped with a stolen rifle with a miserable past is on the loose?

Therefore in conclusion, Teo totally deserved what he has earned despite his sad past.

It is fair.

I feel that the sale of organs can be legalised provided that harsh punishments are imposed upon those that kidnap others in a bid to sell off their organs unwillingly and to prevent people from subconsciously thinking that in desperate financial situations, all they have to do is to sell off a kidney.

Sale of organs can indisputably save lives, which is absolutely true. On the other hand, the bid to get lives saved might result in more people dying owing to the sensitive operations needed to extract and implant vital organs such as kidneys. The life of the supplier of organs, and the life of the recipient of the organs will not be proportionate in this sense.

However if strict controls and regulations are in place, sale of organs being legalised is going to benefit the society immensely.

Once again, I emphasise that the sale of organs should be legalised, provided that stern rules and regulations are being uphold with wrongdoers being severely dealt with.
