Is Marijuana legal in Singapore?

Is Marijuana legal in Singapore. If not, what is the penalty if someone were to get busted? What about in Hong Kong, what are the Marijuana laws over there?

Oh OK, so if it's under 12 ounces than you're OK. But do you still get a citation ticket issued by the police? Also is Singapore known to have good high quality weed?

Whoever said Pot was decriminalized in Singapore was incorrect. It's highly illegal and faces execution charges.

Just put a towel under you r door if you have to get High
when you are on vacation or business in Singapore.

The cops are really cool if you do get busted, prisons have cable TV in every cell with tempurpedic matresses and private shower.

The jail kitchen is open 24 hours with your choice of breakfast lunch or
dinner and you are allowed to drink one six pack a night

Last I knew, quite sometime ago, possession of illegal drugs in Singapore was punishable by death. I don't know if Singapore considers MJ to be illegal or not, but until I knew for a fact, either I wouldn't go there or I wouldn't screw with MJ while there.
