b) Why are Singaporeans increasingly being used as "drug mules"?
2) What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs? How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?
ANSWER
1a) The 2 worrying trends are more teenager about 14 years old which being caught in drug trafficking & the dealers are using Singaporean to traffic drug from one country to another or from other country to Singapore by a women and more Singaporeans are being arrested for drug crimes overseas. Just between 2002 and 2006, some 330 people were caught in Thailand and Malaysia, where many are behind bars.
1b) Drug mules are runners who move drugs from one country to another. The main reason is that Singapore do not need a visa for many places and singaporeans are also less likely to be checked because of Singapore's reputation for being tough on drugs.
2) If i find out that one of my friends is selling drugs i will inform the teachers, counsellor and his/her's parent. Firstly, i will warn my friend to stop doing illegal things, or else you yourself will be regret forever on what you are doing now as I know that doing drugs can greatly affect our future and if he just because of his thirst for the money they get from selling drugs which is not worth. On the other hand i will tell my friend the disadvantage about selling drugs but if he had been awake and knew that he was wrong then i will leave it to him to think it over himself. After my advise, if he still cannot stop i will immediately contact the CNB without any delay as i do want hime to walk the wrong way and end up harming his customers by selling illegal substances that would ultimately harm their health and lives. If someone tries to sell me drugs i will giving any excuses which can run away but if he keeps ran up to me i will call the police for help as well as the police will caught him as it was kill two birds with one stone. While i doing the right for helping him to walk the correct side of the law.
