Singapore’s response to public pressure on Nagaenthran’s case provides no justification for executing a person with mental disability — N. Surendran

NOVEMBER 4 — We refer to the statement issued on 3 November 2021 by the Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs in response to widespread public pressure on the planned execution of Malaysian Nagaenthran Dharmalingam.

However, the MHA deliberately sidesteps the fact that the court also found that Nagaenthran suffers from borderline intellectual functioning and ADHD; has an FSIQ score of 69; and that his executive functioning skills are impaired. The MHA’s robotic response that the court and clemency process have been exhausted does not answer these concerns.

Secondly, MHA’s claim that they have been helping the family with travel arrangements is simply false.
