That is why I felt it should be corrected.

No, and I'm not really considering it as a career path.  (:

I don't think you should be sorry.  Everyone in Australia knows that
south-eastern Asian countries such as Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia
have extremely severe penalties for drug offences and that trying to
smuggle drugs through them is tantamount to Russian roulette.  Even if
you don't agree with capital punishment (for these particular crimes or
in principle) you shouldn't be shocked or outraged when countries follow
their stated policies on drug trafficking.
