> The trump card Shanmugam always held is that a majority of Singaporeans approve of our drug laws (70% of Singaporeans are Chinese, and there is a very very very strong hatred of drugs in Chinese culture)

No idea where you are going with this Chinese inference. This death penalty isn't exclusive to Chinese majority Singapore. Being from Singapore you should know your neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia as well as Thailand have death penalties for drug offences and last I checked their majority aren't Chinese.
