As if they don't have enough trouble ensuring the fence sitters amongst the electorate vote in their favour, carrying an extra baggage of divisiveness on the death penalty issue into polling day is certainly not what an astute political leader would do.
What could they lose by humouring the anti death penalty lobby with a "Court" managed temporary victory, a short duration of delay till after the soon to be expected General Elections?
On the emotive argument on grounds of his youth, the circumstances of his formative years, I say even some of the PAP dogs in high places now, once faced the same position. Through fighting hard against adversity and electing to make it through Leegally, developing great skills along the way in the art of fellatio, they had attained success in life and are living comfortably.
In the case of Yong, apparently many of those sympathetic to his fate had missed the fact that he had committed drug trafficking not once but on five or six different occasions. He was charged and convicted on just one case. That means he knew and had probably celebrated the fact he had a good run and was on a roll, repeatedly escaping the hangman's noose.
Take a moment to imagine that he had gotten away with it time and time again. He goes up in the hierarchy of the drugs syndicates and naturally progressed into recruiting other youths to the highly illegal trade. By then he would be living the high life, carrying himself with an air that would be a million miles away from the pathetic and remorseful photograph published in the newspapers. He would be driving a sports car at breakneck speeds on our roads, investing ill-gotten gains on loan sharking business and what have you.
Enough said. He will live till after the General Elections.
