Possessing illegal firearms in Singapore was, ( at one time / possibly still is ? ) punishable by death if the courts considered that warranted. Many years when I stayed there a few months a headline in the daily paper reported police had apprehended a person found with a concealed, illicit firearm. No mucking around there with the justice system. I read one week later the culprits court case had found him guilty and he was sentenced to hanging, which duly occured.
Justice in that part of Asia seems harsh to some and it doesn't totally prevent crimes but crime isn't exactly out of control either.
