Lawyers for Liberty has slammed Singapore’s Law and Home Ministries for claiming that Malaysian citizen Abd Helmi Ab Halim’s execution on Friday was justified as part of its anti-drug strategy.said the statement is a combination of dishonest excuses and false statements, and also arrogant.
He added, the statement issued by Singapore suggested that Malaysia is not doing enough to arrest drug kingpins in Malaysia, which is an undiplomatic swipe at a friendly neighbour. Surendran said, claims that the death penalty has been an effective deterrent against drug trafficking in Singapore is a blatant lie, as there are no known studies or statistics proving this, and the statement issued by Singapore does not provide any evidence.
Surendran also revealed that he received shocking information relating to the process of execution at Changi prison.
