The Singapore High Commissioner, Joseph Koh, has made a plea for Australians to accept his nation's determination to hang Nguyen Tuong Van for heroin trafficking, saying the Australian had a fair trial.

"We weigh the rights of offenders against the rights of victims and the rights of the community to live and work in safety and security," he said.

Singapore's president has been asked to convene a constitutional tribunal in a last-ditch attempt to stop the execution.

If the president does not issue a stay of execution, the hanging is likely to go ahead as soon as November 11, in two weeks time.
