KUCHING, June 10 — The government has yet to set a timeframe for the abolition of the mandatory death penalty to take effect, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said.

He was elaborating on the media statement issued earlier in which the government agreed to abolish the mandatory death penalty and to grant judges discretion in sentencing. The Committee is led by former Chief Justice Tun Richard Malanjum and comprises legal experts such as a former Chief Judge of Malaya, a former Solicitor-General, legal practitioners, a law lecturer and a criminologist.
