Seamstress
|
Low Hong Eng (刘凤英 Líu Fèngyīng; c.– 9 October 1981) was a Singaporean seamstress and mother of four who was sentenced to death for drug trafficking in Singapore. Low and her accomplice Tan Ah Tee (alias Tan Kok Ser), a Malaysian illegal taxi driver, were both caught smuggling 459.3g of diamorphine (or pure heroin) at Dickson Road, Jalan Besar in September 1976. Both Low and Tan were found guilty and sentenced to hang on 22 September 1978; Low became the second woman to be given the death penalty for drug trafficking since 1975. Low subsequently lost her appeals against the death sentence, and eventually, both Low and her co-accused were hanged on 9 October 1981, making Low the first female drug trafficker of Singaporean descent to be officially put to death in Singapore since 1975, after the mandatory death penalty was introduced for drug trafficking.
