[a] What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article ?
One of them is that drugs like ecstasy and ketamine , the sentence is up to 20 years jail and 15 strokes of the cane while for drugs like cannabis , heroin , and cocaine , Adult traffickers faces the death penalty . The other is that Singaporeans are also being arrested for drug-related offences overseas.
[b] Why are Singaporeans increasingly being used as 'drug mules ' ?
That is becuase Singaporeans do not need a visas for many neigbouring countries and Singaporeans are also unlikely to be checked because of their reputation of being tough on drugs.
2. What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs ? How will you react if someones tries to sell you drugs ?
I will immediately without delya report him to the Central Narcrotics Bureau wihtout delay asnd I will also too question his reasons and whether he knows the danger and consequences of drugs. I will also advise him about the harmul effects that a drug can give.
