A Deadly Business

1a) What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article?

The 1st worrying trend is that for drugs such as ecstasy and ketamine,the sentence is up to 20 years' jail and 15 strokes of the cane,while for the cannabis,heroin and cocaine,adults traffickers face the death penalty.Another worrying trend is that more Singaporeans are being arrested for drugs crimes overseas.

1b) Why are Singaporeans increasingly being used as "drug mules"?

This is because Singaporeans do not need a visa for many places,and they are also less likely to be checked because of Singapore's reputation for being tough on drugs.

2) What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs?

If I find out that my classmate is selling drugs,i will contact the CNB without delay.Before hand,i will ask him why did he do it and if he knows what he is doing is wrong.And also tell him what are the risk and dangers if he did that.

How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?

I will definitely say 'NO' to any drugs sellers and quickly walk away.
