pls. save his life, Noone deserve to die, and everybody makes mistake, we should give him a second chance, he will appreciate it,and it was the first time, even though police say he was very amatuer, i'm really hope that persident will think again and give him a second chance, let God decide to take or not take his life away, pls . President, we know that you have big heart, pls think again please.
Executing someone when they're admitting guilt is wrong because you Don't give them any chance to turn back and become a better person. That's against a lot of religions, especially buddhism.
The law is made by people, and it can also be changed by people. Sometimes written words can take someone's life without understanding the cause of guilt, and the reasons behind it. That's wrong and against nature. This is executing a human life, not a killing a chicken. I think this decission should be totally reversed
Please fogive this young man, and give him a chance to live and become a good person as he is. To me only his act that made him became guilty with the law. Please use an alternative way of punishment but not taking his life away. Thank you,
every body makes mistakes in thier lives. Kill some for thier mistake is just so easy. But making that person realises his mistake and does some thing to pay for his mistakes is much more difficult. I wanna ask u one thing Jugde Kan Ting Chui.:" Have You ever made mistakes" and at that times You wanted people kill you or forgive you.
To me, Van needs a second chance to change his life. I know taking a life, especially a young life, with a guilt or a death sentence is not that simple. But if he still doing it then YOU can go right ahead without notice to us.. Second chance is the best way to reform a live. Thanks all !
Supposely I don't think that this should be punish as a death penalty. As for me I agreed with everyone in here we all make mistake nobody is perfect in life. So judge please reconsider it. Everyone's got a heart Nguyen Tong Van love his brother so he tryed to save his brother. Therefore, nobody got the right to take such a loving heart like that. Please set him free.
Please give him a chance. Don't take his life as easy as you killing a bird. Everyone can change after what they had gone through, with this situation, he was just wanted to help his brother. So give him a chance.
Alex,
I think that this is an outrage. He's trying to help his brother. A brother would sacrifice this much to help his other brother. This is the humanity I am talking about. If a judget would hang him for the crime that he do not intend to do. I think that judget have to reconsider that he's in the situation. Please don't execute innocent people. They suffer enough from the war.
People do make Mistake and Do need to be forgiven . instead of taking his life awayy we asked to free him and give him a chance to live ... saving someone life is like giving yourself Bless so Bless yourself and Please Don't Kill. Please Set him free because You have been bless and Saving someone soul is like saving your own Soul please think about it before you taking someone life away!! Sincerely Mr and Miss Dinh
We have as individuals have NO RIGHT to take an individuals life, no matter what the crime is, we did not make or create that life, so how as a society can we take this mans life.
Regardless of the crime, he should serve time, and not hung, how would we feel is this was a family members of ours, nobody is perfect, buy nobody deserves to die like this.
This is Australia, and it's the year 2005, if this man is hung, then what kind of society do we live in after all? Bring Him home, to our politicians do you're job and don't give up, keep trying and do something for once.

This is not in line with the times. It is by far out of date and disproportionate. Sure he has committed a crime, and surely 15 years in hard labour would be a more suitable and proportionate punishment. IF Nguyen hangs, I will at my convenience and pleasure
cancel all my (SINGTEL) Optus services. They include mobile, home phone and broadband. I will never travel Singapore Airlines and avoid everything Singaporean for the remainder of my life. I make that promise to myself today and now. I will also encourage others to do the same.
He should have some kind of jail sentence and community service but the death sentence is outrageous. It is not justice, but out right murder by the hang man and the government, Maybe we should see the hangman and the politicans get their head's ripped off of their bodies
I don't believe in death sentence for Nguyen Tuong Van, He made a horible mistake but give him a chance to live... God bless Singapor People,, Probably, they do not have enough land for their people...
I support vigorously with Nguyen Tuong Van and send grateful to Australian and John Howard government . Singapore STOP to death with Nguyen Tuogn Van . OK I hope Australia Government be going to do so that . Thanks !
I find this a terrible action by a state than lays claim to be a "developed country", as punishment for a single stupid action by a young man. My heart goes out to Van, his family and friends and pray that this "state crime" will not be carried out.
This is so ,so wrong.
Take the hand of your angels and spirit guides as they walk beside you and support you. Trust they will never leave your side.
I support the flight of your spirit the freedom of your soul.
May God bless you and hold you safely in his hands.
its not fair or just but too cruel to hang such ayoung person with no criminal record for his first mistake there are circumstances that need to be considered but the death penalty should be abolished how dear the singapore govt. says we are hypocrits how can we be this when we do not have the death penalty he should be given a fair and just chance like we all should it is criminal to waste his young life singapore should be stopped from doing this its too unbelievable barbaric.ngugan is just as much a victim of the drug trade as the drug addicts
This man was arrested in Singapore..thats true..for drug trafficking.THey say that he could have hurt 26,000 lives with this small portion of heroin and there for deserves the death pennalty.Dont you think that its up to us to decide his fate? He was on his way to Australia..not to deal in Singapore..he was only passing through...so there fore he should be deported back to Australia to face the charges here.....not left in the hands of these murderers.Its obvious that goverment arent going to do all they can ...and that is typical of the selfish *****s.Yes they spend our dam money going to visit desperate people in other countries..instead of looking after our own.As far as I can see...Howard has some pull...and he chooses not to.He is then accessory to murder...and I hope he rots in hell for that...I dont even know this kid...but nobody deserves this...and I cannot beleive we are all standing by and letting these barbarians kill and treat fellow human beings like they do...why are you all voting in this selfish dickheads that arent interested in your well being at all...its all about their money and what crooked deals they can get into....get a grip you lot..and stand up and be heard.....and as for you polititions...I stand ashamed of you...and I am one person that can honestly say...I didnt vote for any of yas....nor would I stoop so low.
Please give this young man a second chance in life. He does not deserve to die. The capital punishment is too cruel and inhumane for any civilized countries such as singapore; therefore, I am urging you (those who have the authorities) to reconsider the decision and to reverse your decision to save this young man's life. Nguyen Tuong Van does not deserve to die. Thank you so much for your sympathy for Nguyen Tuong Van and May GOD bless you all.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not kill this young boy. Give him a second chance. Do you have children ? Do you know how painful it is for his mother and his family ?
He didn't kill any one. He made a mistake. Please give him a second chance. I'm begging you.
Van does not deserve the death penalty. i'm very dissappointed in the high commissoner people and especially the judge and all the power people in the world that can't even save a person life, how can they talking about saving the world. he deserve the second chance, no one have the right to sentenced anyone to death unless it God!. Put yourself in the position would you like people do the same to you. people make mistake the first time doesn't means they have to end there life that way, if you don't give people 2nd chance how will you know they change or not.
Each day he is still alive there is still hope. Lets all join together and do our best to free Van from facing the death penalty. To the Singapore government please grant Van clemency. To the Australian government i am greatly dissapointed in your efforts to save this man. So much that i feel ashamed that this is all my government my country is willing to do for a fellow Australian. To the family and friends of Van stay strong and i pray that he will be saved from this abhorrent abuse of power.
Please do not kill Van Nguyen. He does not deserve to die. Please don't cut his life short, let him live. All people deserve a second chance to redeem themselves to become better people. Such a sad story. His life seems so sad, used by others and now to be killed. A lose-lose situation with no way out for what he did as no one will give him a chance in anyway.
execution for this crime is in itself a crime. He did the wrong thing but he took no-ones life, yet the singaporean govt will take his life.
This is disgusting, as is any state sanctioned death for drug trafficking.
5 yrs, 10 yrs, even 20 years jail, while still outrageously severe, at least would provide him and his loved ones with hope for the remainder of his life.
this murder is sadistic and cruel beyond belief.
australia be ashamed u havent gone to the international court!!!
