TANJUNG RAMBUTAN: The sister of a Malaysian man facing imminent execution despite concerns he is mentally disabled has pleaded with Singapore to give him a"second chance".

His family are not giving up, however, with his sister Sarmila Dharmalingam urging the city-state to"give him a second chance". Campaigners say he has an IQ of just 69, a level recognised as an intellectual disability, was coerced into transporting the drugs, and was struggling with an alcohol problem at the time.

Legal rulings also concluded that he"clearly understood the nature of his acts", which were aimed at paying off debts, it said in a statement. Naganethran's eldest sister, Sarmila struggles to accept her brother is a convicted drug smuggler and still has fond memories of playing childhood games with him.During more than a decade behind bars, Nagaenthran developed a passion for arts and crafts, making cards for his family back home to mark occasions such as Mother's Day.
