You get caught smuggling heroin in Singapore, what do you expect?
I remember filling out an arrival card for Saudi Arabia. It stated very explicitly in English that the penalty for drug smuggling was death. Made me really nervous about the package my buddy gave me to take to Riyadh.....(it was just a cordless phone)
It's the same way in Iran, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam and Egypt. They also have death penalties for drug trafficking.
