Because the husbands plans relied on the “supposed” vindictiveness of singapore’s police? And that would be an uncomfortable truth?

So… purchasing an amount of drugs the possession of which is punishable by death, but for the purpose of framing another person such that they be at risk of punishment by death… is punishable by a fine of [checks math]… $15k?

From a few months ago:
Those convicted of fabricating false evidence – knowing that it will likely cause a person to be convicted and punished with a jail term of seven years or more – shall be punished as a person convicted of that offence would be liable to be punished. The penalty for possessing drugs is a maximum of 10 years’ jail, a fine of $20,000, or both.
it seems that he purchased only half of what was needed, and his miscalculation saved his ass.
