Notes Latest!: The High Court has granted Yong Vui Kong’s application for a stay of his execution. Yong was scheduled to be hanged this Friday, 4 Dec. His appeal to the Court of Appeal will now be heard next Tuesday. … previously: theonlinecitizen.com/2009/11/president-rejects-clemency-p… It’s really sad and disappointing to hear… I wish for a day in the near future where such atrocities will become only a history lesson for our kids, where lessons are taught not through fear, but conscience itself. No man should be given the power to judge and impose death to any other living person; as no matter what “argument” and “considerations” are given, such a decision is only akin to a flip of the coin. In Death, one can find no Justice, nor Truth, but only the Silence that comes after the end of a Conscience. “Let’s keep 21 year old Yong in our hearts and brace ourselves for dawn this Friday.” - Singapore Anti Death Penalty Campaign
