Execution of Angel Mou Pui Peng
1995 drug trafficking sentence in Singapore
Angel Mou Pui Peng (Chinese: 毛佩萍; Jyutping: mou4 pui3 ping4; pinyin: Máo Pèipíng; 9 July 1969 – 6 January 1995) was a 25-year-old female Macau resident executed in Singapore for drug trafficking.
After purportedly being recruited to work as a courier for a Hong Kong-based drug trafficking organization, Mou was arrested while in possession of over 5 kilograms of high-quality heroin during a stopover in Singapore's Changi Airport.
Despite vehemently protesting her innocence and stating that she was tricked into smuggling narcotics, Mou was found guilty at trial and sentenced to death. The circumstances of her arrest and execution were given wide coverage by the media, with many appeals being made by politicians worldwide for the commutation of her death sentence. However, the appeals, made by the President of Portugal and the Governor of Hong Kong among others, were ignored by the Singaporean authorities. Mou was executed on 6 January 1995.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1995 drug trafficking sentence in Singapore” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q117715859. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1969, 1995 and 1991.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
