3He claimed that he was just a drug mule and was tricked into carrying the drugs.Nilaza izy fa vendrana ka voatarika tamin'ny fitondràna ireo zava-mahadomelina ireo.

6Ravi, he was given the chance to file a new appeal.Ravi, nomena alalana hanao fampakarana indray.
7The Court of Appeal said it had a duty to hear new legal arguments even after a criminal case had come to a close, especially if it involved the death penalty.Niteny ny Fitsaràna fa adidiny ny mihaino tohan-kevitra vaovao na aorian'ny fanakatonana ny raharaha ady heloka bevava aza, indrindra raha tafiditra ao ny fanamelohana ho faty.
8Most bloggers are against the death penalty, pointing out that many countries have done away with the death penalty and a teenager shouldn't be sentenced to death.Ny ankabeazan'ireo mpitoraka blaogy dia manohitra ny fanamelohana ho faty, ary milaza fa maro ireo firenena no efa niala tamin'izany ary tsy tokony ho voaheloka ho faty ny tanora.
9Singaporean blogger, Andrew Loh, wrote in his post on advocacy journalism blog, The Online Citizen:Andrew Loh, mpitoraka blaogy teratany avy any Singapore, dia nanoratra tao amin'ny lahatsorany tao amina blaogim-panehoan-kevitra iray, The Online Citizen:
10Many countries have reversed their positions on the MDP.Firenena maro no efa niala tamin'ity fanamelohana ho faty ity.
11And all countries have pride.Manana rehareha koa ireo firenen-drehetra.
12Yet, these countries perhaps placed a higher value on human life than national pride - especially when there are compelling reasons to do so.Nefa mety nomen'ireny firenena ireny toerana ambony kokoa ny ain'olombelona noho ny rehareham-pirenena - indrindra rehefa misy antony manery azy hanao izany.
13And with the mandatory death penalty in Singapore, there are indeed compelling reasons for us to re-look the legislation.Ary amin'ity fanamelohana ho faty any Singapore ity, tsy maintsy misy antony tsy maintsy hamerenana handinihana io lalàna io.

15However, I do hope that the humanity and logic existing within the judges will help them see that this young boy does deserve another chance to make up for his grave mistake - something that he did not realised until he was told after his arrest that heroin was not as ‘harmless' as tobaccoNa izany aza, manantena aho fa ny maha-olombelona sy ny lojika misy dia hanampy ireo mpitsara hahita fa mbola manana anjara famelàna io tovolahy io hanonerany ny heloka be vitany - izay tsy fantany akory raha tsy notenenina izy fa tsy “maivana” toy ny sigara ny rongony “heroine”
16Singaporean blogger, Xue Jianyue wrote:Nanoratra i Xue Jianyue, Singaporeana mpitoraka blaogy :
17Sentencing Yong Vui Kong isn't going to solve the problem of the trafficker employing people of his age to smuggle drugs again and again because people like Kong, who is poor, unaware and desperate, can always be found in any society and tricked by drug smuggling rings.Ny fanasaziana an'i Yong Vui Kong dia tsy hamaha velively ny olana momba ilay mpanondrana mampiasa ny olona amin'izao taonany izao mba hanaparitahana zava-mahadomelina tsy an-kiato, satria ny olona toa an'i Kong, mahantra, tsy mahatsiaro tena ary kivy tamin'ny fiainana, dia hita foana eny amin'ny fiaraha-monina ary voatarika amin'ny fitaterana zava-mahadomelina.
18He also argues that teens shouldn't pay the price for their ‘ignorance':Manampy koa izy fa tsy tokony hanefa ny vidin'ny “tsy fahalalàny” ny zatovo:
19There is a difference between a person committing the crime knowing of the consequences and a person not knowing of the consequences.Tsy mitovy ny olona iray manatanteraka ny asa malotony am-pahalalàna izay vokany sy ny olona iray tsy mahalàla ny vokany.
20We should not hasten to punish both of them with the same penalty.Tsy tokony ho maika hanasazy azy ireo amina sazy mitovy isika.
21Singaporean blogger, Terence Lee, wrote:Nanoratra Terence Lee, Singaporeana mpitoraka blaogy :
22And so what if a person is guilty?Dia maninona raha meloka ilay olona?
23It makes no sense to punish a drug mule while the drug lord is left to hire another desperate drug trafficker.Tsy misy dikany ny fanasaziana olona tsy mahay zava-mahadomelina nefa ny mpanjakany mbola maniraka olon-kivy iray hafa hanondrana zava-mahadomelina.
24And why the harsh treatment?Ary nahoana no sazy mahery toy izany?
25Do trafficking drugs equate with a more severe crime like murder, and therefore equally deserving of the dealth penalty?Moa ny fanondranana zava-ahadomelina mitovy amina heloka lehibe toy ny vono-olona, ka samy mendrika ny hohelohina ho faty?
26Where is the justice in that?Aiza no fahamarinana amin'izany?
