Mahathir says Putrajaya working to save Malaysian on death row in Singapore.
KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad gave an assurance today that the government is making an effort to ensure Sarawakian Michael Garing will not hang in Singapore the day after tomorrow.
“We are sad because the death penalty should be commuted to another sentence, which is what we will do, in exception of certain cases,” the prime minister told a press conference in Parliament today, referring to his administration’s plan concerning the death sentence. The Sarawakian is currently incarcerated in Changi Prison after he was convicted of murder in 2015 and is scheduled to be executed this Friday.
Dr Mahathir said he hopes other countries will follow Putrajaya’s example to do away with the mandatory death sentence. He cited Australia as an example against capital punishment.
