Well, the laws in Brunei have been extreme for a long time.
The underlying issues need to be addressed, not the headlines. Brunei has a dreadful record on human rights. You have longstanding laws against LGBT people. This is nothing new When I was there, most Chinese people living in Brunei could not get a passport. They weren't considered bumiputera. I believe that the 'red IC' is still happening today. So 15% of Brunei's citizens are stateless and can't leave. If you feel strongly about human rights in Brunei, there is nothing to stop you protesting in the UK. Let me know when and I will join you. I will also join you if you protest about the human rights record of Saudi Arabia, China and the US

I just think this is a scary and regressive thing to be happening in 2019. Even if it never happens the fact is that it might. There are at least four countries where it’s happened for other imagined “crimes”.

The comparisons to western executions in the US aren't on the same continent let alone page.

The question is how many of those events will take place in a year? Agree Law is barbaric, but will it do a job with offences coming to the attention of the authorities?
