From the facebook event page for Vui Kong, We Care: Group photo for Vui Kong, a 21 year old on death row….
Come and join us at Speaker’s Corner at 4pm sharp this Sunday for a show of compassion for Yong Vui Kong, a 21-year old Malaysian who is facing the death penalty in Singapore for drug trafficking.
There will be no speeches. We will gather briefly for a group photograph holding photos of Yong Vui Kong with a banner saying “Vui Kong, we care.”
The death penalty is irreversible. Vui Kong should be given a chance to repent and live.
NOTE: Please come dressed in a white top at 4pm sharp.
