Majority of Filipinos mistakenly believe that selling of illegal drugs is punishable by death. Nearly half also believe drug use is punishable by death.

These were among the findings of a noncommissioned survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) from June 23 to 26 among 1,200 adults nationwide and part of the series of special reports of the polling firm related to the campaign against illegal drugs.

Death penalty for any criminal offence is not allowed in the country.

But the results released on Tuesday showed that 59 per cent believe that selling of drugs is punishable by death.

Forty-seven per cent also believe that use of illegal drugs is punishable by death penalty, while 53 per cent correctly responded that it is not true.

The survey, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, showed that 3 out of 5 Filipinos agree that only poor drug pushers were killed. Sixty per cent of the respondents agreed to the statement that “rich drug pushers are not killed; only the poor ones are killed.”

The highest proportion of those who agreed came from Metro Manila, with 75 per cent, followed by Mindanao with 59 per cent.

Most of the reported killings in the war on drugs happened in Metro Manila, with critics pointing out that most of the victims were poor.

Results also showed that 74 per cent or 3 out of 4 want President Duterte to reveal his list of drug personalities and charge them in court. Agreement to this statement is high in all areas with 82 per cent in Metro Manila, 75 per cent in rest of Luzon, 71 per cent in Mindanao, and 69 per cent in Visayas.

A wall of the Jakarta Police building in South Jakarta collapsed on Tuesday afternoon, falling on 11 motorcycles.

The cause of the collapse remains unknown.

“The collapsed wall of the headquarters is located near the parking lot next to the Capital Apartment and Artha Graha building,” said Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Argo Yuwono on Tuesday, as quoted by kompas.com.

The wall was 40 meters long and police are still investigating the cause of the collapse. No fatalities were reported from the incident.

However, the wall fell on 11 police motorbikes parked in the parking lot, Argo added.

A Burmese beauty queen has claimed she was stripped of her pageant title over a video she made on the ongoing violence in Rakhine state, BBC reports.

Shwe Eain Si had posted the clip online last week, accusing Rohingya militants of perpetuating the unrest.

The 19-year-old Miss Grand Myanmar lost her title on Sunday when organisers announced they had revoked it.

They said she breached contract rules and did not behave like a role model. They did not mention her video, BBC says.But on Tuesday Shwe Eain Si drew a connection between the dethronement and her clip.

“Yes, Shwe Eain Si made a video about the reign of terror brought about by the Arsa militants in Rakhine state, but that was hardly qualified as a failure to project a decent image of a pageant contestant,” a statement posted on her Facebook page said, making reference to the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army.

It added that she “is obliged as a citizen of this country to use her fame to speak out the truth for her nation”.

In the graphic video, posted on her Facebook page last week, the beauty queen says Arsa’s “caliphate-style movement” attacks were “out of proportion”.

Speaking in English, Shwe Eain Si accuses the militants and their supporters of conducting a media campaign “so that harbingers of terror and violence themselves [now seem] as if they are the oppressed”.

Her video makes no mention of allegations that the Burmese military have carried out widespread atrocities against the Muslim Rohingya minority, BBC says in it’s report. The army, which has been accused of conducting ethnic cleansing, has said it is only targeting militants.

Shwe Eain Si is not the first beauty pageant winner to run into trouble in recent months.

In September the winner of Miss Turkey 2017 was stripped of her crown after it emerged she had shared a post referencing last year’s coup attempt. Competition organisers said the tweet was “unacceptable”.
