About 5 million in Singapore.

14 per 100,000 hanged.

14 X 50 equals about 700 executions a year - that’s a bunch!

Texas executes about 40 per year, has five times the population of Singapore, but gets 500 times more bad press.

Here is the Wiki description. They have a black Friday.

“Capital punishment is legal in Singapore. The city-state had the second highest per-capita execution rate in the world between 1994 and 1999, estimated by the United Nations to be 13.83 executions annually per hundred thousand of population during that period. The highest was Turkmenistan (now an abolitionist country) with 14.92. Each execution in Singapore is carried out by hanging in Changi Prison at dawn on Friday.”
