Datuk Liew Vui Keong said the government will wait for the Federal Court to decide on a suit challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty for trafficking before it tables an amendment to abolish mandatory capital punishment for drug-related offences. ― Picture by Yusof Mat Isa
“There is a case filed in Court and the Federal Court is waiting to give a decision on that where the applicants had challenged the constitutionality of the death penalty in drug cases,” he told the press after addressing a forum on drug law reform here. Liew had said that the Cabinet could make a “moderate decision” following feedback from non-governmental organisations, families of crime victims and convicts on death row, as well as findings from a Home Ministry study.
Putrajaya’s first option is for the “total abolition” of the death penalty for 33 criminal offences covered in eight Acts, replacing it with life imprisonment instead, Liew said in March.
Want to abolish. Just do it lah Why behaving like you have no stand & brains. DONT say it if you dont have guts & principle to do it.Useless Minister.
