Malaysian death row inmate Michael anak Garing was executed at Changi Prison today despite pleas from the family and Amnesty International to do away with the death penalty. Is Singapore a regressed country or should it start to consider treating people's lives equally?

Filmmaker Jason Soo is yet another person to be slapped with a travel restriction as the police are investigating him for taking part in a candlelight vigil for a death penalty inmate. "It's an example of how civil rights in this country are being gradually stripped away, inch by inch, little by little, until one day, we realize that the only rights we have left is the right to obey."

A netizen said there is no decency in going after those who attended a candlelight vigil for death penalty inmate Prabagaran. He said the law is not "dead" and wonders if Singapore's public service still has a heart. What do you think?
