Death for drug counterfeiters

From Media Indonesia

The stern action taken by the West Jakarta police and the Food and Drug Control Agency against individuals or firms producing and distributing fake medicine deserves praise.

Drugs are manufactured for the purpose of curing people and making them healthy, so that strict control over drug production and distribution is required. It is even more the case if the drugs produced are fake, which can endanger human lives.

As drug counterfeiters and distributors of fake drugs may sooner or later kill people, a law should be introduced concerning counterfeit medicines by imposing maximum penalties, even punishment by death if necessary.
