> Many of Singapore's drug policies have a horrifying potential for cruelty. Singapore’s Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act allows the authorities to detain an individual indefinitely without trial, if they are suspected of drug trafficking. Singapore's Misuse of Drugs Act makes it an offence to not only traffic drugs, but also to provide information on drug use (even online). The authorities can also demand a urine test without a warrant, with refusal seen as a sign of guilt. In particular note the last sentence. I think it's pretty obvious how broad powers such as this, mixed with selective and targeted enforcement, is bad. And even with zero tolerance (in enforcement) you absolutely don't guarantee zero bias (in targeting). A pathological example for the sake of argument would be asking every person you think has Malay ethnicity to submit to a urine test. My whole point is just that you can't easily dismiss these factors when assessing the justice/injustice of the current policies, when answering the question in the subtitle: Who bears the brunt of Singapore's drug policies?
