message: The lead states " Capital punishment is considered the norm in East Asia ..."    This is debatable and, arguably, an unhelpful and lazy generalisation.  Firstly, is Singapore  in East Asia?  Definitions vary, but usually include "China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan" but not Singapore - although Wikipedia itself says (and I've been criticised before for using Wiki as a source) "Countries such as Singapore and Vietnam are also considered a part of the East Asian cultural sphere due to its cultural, religious, and ethnic similarities".  Whatever definition is used we should note that Mongolia, Macau and Hong Kong have all abolished the death penalty.   In South-East Asia,  which Singapore is geographically a part of, Cambodia and the Phillippines have abolished the death penalty while Myanmar is regarded as 'abolitionist-in-practice'https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/asia-and-the-pacific/myanmar/ having not carried out an execution since 1985. So the death penalty is not  the norm in the region. Unless anyone feels this statement makes an important and valid point I suggest it's removed.BobBadg (talk) 07:36, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
