JAKARTA: An Indonesian court late yesterday  sentenced a Hong Kong drug lord to death for smuggling 860 kg crystal  methamphetamine into Indonesia earlier this year. Wong Chi-ping was  caught with several others in January as they coordinated the  trafficking of the drugs from Malaysia into Indonesia. Indonesian  authorities had been monitoring Wong, believed to be the kingpin behind  the deal, for three years and said that he was part of a major global  drug ring. “Indonesia must fight drugs wholeheartedly and one way to do  that is by giving strong punishments,” said presiding judge M Arifin as  he delivered the death sentence in the West Jakarta court. Indonesia  enforces some of the world’s toughest anti-drugs laws and has been  stepping up its campaign against narcotics under President Joko Widodo,  who is a strong supporter of capital punishment for traffickers. Widodo  has accelerated the death penalty campaign — so far 14 drug convicts  have been executed during his presidency, 12 of them foreigners.
