ENTER SINGAPORE IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMMIT THE FOLLOWING SUPER MAJOR OFFENCES AND I'M TALKING REALLY BIG TIME CRIMES HERE NOT SOME MASAK-MASAK THING HERE OK?

Under Schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, any person importing, exporting, or found in possession of more than the following quantities of drugs receives a mandatory death sentence:

1. 1200 grammes of opium and containing more than 30 grammes of morphine (Section 5 and Section 7, Clause (2)(b));

2. 30 grammes of morphine (Section 5 and Section 7, Clause (3)(b));

3. 15 grammes of diamorphine (heroin) (diamo (Section 5 and Section 7, Clause (4)(b));

4. 30 grammes of cocaine (Section 5 and Section7, Clause (5)(b));

5. 500 grammes of cannabis (Section 5 and Section7, Clause (6)(b));

6. 1000 grammes of cannabis mixture (Section 5 and Section 7, Clause (7)(b));

7. 200 grammes of cannabis resin ( Section 5 and Section 7, Clause (8)(b));

8. 250 grammes of methamphetamine (Section 5 and Section 7, Clause (9)(b)).

Death sentences are also mandatory for any person caught manufacturing :
1. Morphine, or any salt of morphine, ester of morphine or salt of ester of morphine (Section6, Clause (2));

2. Diamorphine (heroin) or any salt of diamorphine (Section 6, Clause (3));

3. Cocaine or any salt of cocaine (Section6, Clause (4));

4. Methamphetamine (Section6, Clause (5)).

The Act, to some degree, reverses the usual burden of proof in common law jurisdictions.

Under the Act any person found in possession of more than the prescribed amounts is presumed to be trafficking.

Any person who has in their possession a key to a premises where drugs are found is presumed to be in possession of the drugs since "any person who is proved to have had in his possession or custody or under his control —
(a) anything containing a controlled drug;
(b) the keys of anything containing a controlled drug;
(c) the keys of any place or premises or any part thereof in which a controlled drug is found; or
(d) a document of title relating to a controlled drug or any other document intended for the delivery of a controlled drug, shall, until the contrary is proved, be presumed to have had that drug in his possession."

Furthermore, any person who is proved or presumed to have had a controlled drug in his possession shall be presumed to have known the nature of that drug.
