That's a max possible sentence, but then it's also authoritarian hellhole Singapore that executes people for moderate-level drug crimes, so we'll see how it plays out.
It’s worth remembering that many colonial powers controlled their Asian subjects via drugs so there is a relevant cultural context for why those crimes are treated this harshly. In general Singapore has more focus on „freedom to live” than „freedom to consume” too.
"They're abusive because they were abused" is, as with a person, an explanation, not an excuse.
