Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan has said he supports the use of the death penalty for some drug offenders.<\/p>\n

Chan, whose son was jailed for drugs offences, said that with drugs “you’re hurting thousands of young children”.<\/p>\n

Jaycee Chan spent six months in prison in China after police found marijuana in his home.<\/p>\n

Jackie Chan is Singapore’s first celebrity anti-drug ambassador. He was named official Narcotics Control Ambassador by Chinese police in 2009.<\/p>\n

Both Singapore and China have enforced capital punishment for drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

In an interview with journalists conducted in both English and Mandarin, he said drugs were not only hurting young people, they were hurting his family.<\/p>\n

“On some issues, I do support the death penalty,” he said.<\/p>\n

“When you’re hurting thousands and thousands of young children, I think these kind of people are useless.
\n“You should get the right punishment.”<\/p>\n

He added: “[Young people say] ‘it’s okay, it’s just like a cigarette’. I say ‘it’s not okay, not in my family’.”<\/p>\n

Jaycee, 32, was imprisoned for not just using drugs, but for the additional and more serious crime of “providing a shelter for others to abuse drugs”, Beijing police said at the time.<\/p>\n

When asked about Jaycee’s time in prison, Chan said he felt “ashamed” and “shocked” and that he was now more focussed on his son.<\/p>\n

“I’m more concentrating on him now, used to be just, ‘you are a grown man.’ But now I find out, he’s still a boy,” Chan said.<\/p>\n
