The country with the highest death penalty in the world is Singapore. In 20001* *, the country executed 70 death sentences, while the United States only executed 66 cases in the same year. And the death penalty in Singapore is hanging, which has been abolished in most countries. The death penalty in Singapore is executed every Friday morning, and the families of the condemned prisoners are often notified after the execution.
According to article 23 1 of Singapore's Criminal Procedure Law, a person sentenced to death shall not be flogged.

According to foreign media reports, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Zhixian announced that after a year of re-evaluation, Singapore will retain the mandatory death penalty, because it can effectively deter crime and has broad public support.
He pointed out: "For a long time, the death penalty has been an important part of Singapore's criminal justice system. Singaporeans believe that the death penalty is an effective deterrent and an appropriate punishment for some serious crimes, so it has won wide support. "
This reassessment also makes it possible for two types of drug dealers to avoid mandatory death penalty, namely, those with mental retardation or low-level drug dealers who give "substantial and effective" help to the police. Instead of the death penalty, the court will have the right to impose life imprisonment and flogging on the above crimes as appropriate.
Zhang Zhixian stressed that the above-mentioned death penalty adjustment will only be applied to those "runners" who are involved in drug trafficking, and not to higher-level people who are involved in drug supply or distribution. Convicted drug dealers and drug cartel leaders will still face the mandatory death penalty. ?
