A forum for Singapore's observation of the World Day Against Death Penalty, 10 October 2009, was held in conjunction with the clemency call for death row prisoner, Yong Vui Kong, who some years ago was caught as a drug mule.

Moderated by local poet/playwright, Alfian Sa'at, the main speakers of the event are:
M. Ravi, Human Rights lawyer
Agnes Chia, Social worker
Breama Mathi, Maruah Singapore
Alex Au, Yawning Bread
