BALING: The government’s move to abolish the mandatory death penalty will not jeopardise the police force’s enforcement efforts, in particular serious crimes, says Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

The Home Minister said his Ministry backed the decision and stressed that police enforcement and investigations would be carried out as usual."We ourselves, the police themselves share the thought that maybe it is a good thing if there is some relaxation in terms of the mandatory death penalty. Because sometimes when we want to take action, we have evidence but ‘only a thin line’.

"The death penalty is still in force, just that for certain offences, let the judge decide whether an offender should go to the gallows or serve life imprisonment,” he told a media conference after attenting a Hari Raya Aidilfitri luncheon organised Baling Bersatu division here on Saturday .Hamzah dispelled the notion that the move would cause more serious crimes to be committed, saying that the death penalty was still in force and police would be on enforcement duties as usual.
