Capital punishment for drug dealers

Capital punishment for drug dealers

From Media Indonesia

The conditions in Indonesia remain uncertain and the most disturbing ones have been caused by drug circulation, counterfeit money and the problem of bad credit. Meanwhile, the legal system in Indonesia has dropped to its most worrying level. To solve all problems, law enforcers should have a resolute attitude for repairing their fractured image. To this end, capital punishment for convicted drug dealers and/or counterfeiters, and exile for bad debtors who are late in repaying debts would restore legal authority.

Capital punishment for drug dealers and/or counterfeiters is an appropriate measure and it would create a more conducive atmosphere. It is quite natural to punish convicted wrongdoers with this punishment as they threaten the loss of a generation and damage the state economy. And the punishment could be lessened if the convicted persons are willing to reveal who the masterminds are and are prepared to be witnesses in court.

Exile as a punishment for bad debtors is a natural recourse considering that it was them who caused the ruin of this nation's economy. If they were exiled to Buru island or Nusakambangan, they would know how those who are suffering feel as a result of their misdeeds. The punishment could be lessened if they were willing to report their assets and cronies who are also enjoying the wealth, and to quickly repay their debts.

With the threat of stiff punishment people will feel more secure and law supremacy will soon be restored.
