<P> Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Singapore . The city - state had the second highest per - capita execution rate in the world between 1994 and 1998 , estimated by the United Nations to be 13.83 executions annually per one million people during that period . The highest was Turkmenistan ( now an abolitionist country ) with 14.92 . However , since the 2010s , execution has become far less common , with some years having no executions at all . No one was executed in 2012 and 2013 , and two persons were executed in 2014 . Each execution in Singapore is carried out by long drop hanging in Changi Prison at dawn on Friday , except once on 20 May 2016 when the execution of Kho Jabing was carried out at 3 : 30 pm after his appeal for a stay of execution was dismissed that morning . In a survey done in 2005 , reported in The Straits Times , 95 % of Singaporeans believe that their country should retain the death penalty . </P>
