The Dhaka Times Desk After nearly 20 years, a woman is about to be executed in Singapore. He was sentenced to death after being found guilty of drug trafficking. This information was given by the BBC citing the country's human rights lawyers.
Saridewi Zamani (45), a Singaporean, was convicted in 2018 of trafficking 30 grams of heroin.
He is the second drug offender to be executed after Singapore's Mohammad Aziz bin Hussain. Singapore has some of the toughest anti-drug laws in the world, which it says are necessary to protect society.
Aziz was found guilty of trafficking 50 grams of heroin. Under Singaporean law, trafficking more than 15 grams of heroin and more than 500 grams of marijuana can be punishable by death.
Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) declined to comment on Zamani's case when contacted by the BBC.
In an earlier statement, CNB said that full due process was done with Aziz. His appeal against his conviction and sentence was also dismissed in 2018.
British tycoon Sir Richard Branson has again criticized Singapore's execution, saying the death penalty is no deterrent to crime.
"Small-scale drug traffickers need help," Branson said on Twitter. The reason is that most are harassed because of their situation.'
He thinks Saridewi's execution can still be averted.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
