""Putfile Says Goodbye To Singapore

At dawn on December 2nd 2005, Singapore hanged a citizen of Australia, despite a plea for clemency from the United Nations. Whilst Putfile is not a human rights campaigning organization, we believe that if a country must have the death penalty, there is no need for it be barbaric. It is enough of a punishment, and a deterrent, to take someone's life in a painless manner, without having to be barbaric about it. Putfile prefers to not continue to provide our free uploading service to a country that executes prisoners by hanging, a method of execution which can take up to six minutes to painfully execute the victim.

For this reason, we are at this time terminating all service to users from Singapore. We shall be happy to restore service following any positive move from the government of Singapore towards abolition of hanging as an execution method.

Goodbye Singapore,

Putfile.

He should have known it was capital punishment for bringing drugs here.. we are not like amsterdam, were drugs and other vices are legal. and it wasnt a small amount he brought in. if we were to give clemency to him, what will other traffickers do in the future? Ah wells... putfile is just one of the many organisations putting themselves behind a man who could have condemned hundreds of singaporean lives by bringing in drugs for the sake of money. it is/was a free service anyway, and making it such that ip 165.xx cannot access it would be easy.. at least they bothered to type so much for such a small country. (other countries won't see this message)
