Being hanged is not the correct punishment for such crimes. Hanging is from the middle ages, not for a country that is soo well developed like Singapore.
I'm pretty sure that the punishment for raping or killing is less worse then that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> Nguyen Tuong Van wasn't a crime delinquent that deserves this kind of punishment, there are other alternatives for people like him.

THE 6th COMMANDMENT- Thou Shalt Not Kill [/color]
You cannot fight crime with crime, but there are limits to this too. You cannot allow a murderer or a rapist come back to society, and the taxpayers are not willing to pay for them either. For some folks, I would agree to bring back death penalty, like Dutroux or Michel Fourniret. Or Cindy Croon from my class that tortured and killed her own little baby girl. No other punishment is suitable then death. That is imho. Even God killed the people from Soddom and Gomorra
