1a) What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article? There is an increasing trend of Singaporeans being arrested for drug crimes overseas. 330 people were arrested in Thailand and Malaysia. There is an increasing number of teens getting involved in the drug trade. Singaporeans are being used as drug mules overseas.
b) Why are Singaporeans increasingly being used as "drug mules"? As Singaporeans do not need a visa for many places, they clear the immigration checks faster. Singaporeans are also less likely to be checked because of Singapore's reputation for being tough on drugs.
2) What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs? How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?
I will report him/her to the school counsellor, Mr Rashid. As Mr Rashid is more experienced, he will be able to give my friend greater support as well as guidance to help him/her stop the criminal act. If someone tries to sell me drugs, I would say "NOOO!!" because it is a waste of money and it will ruin my future.
