“This is almost two times the amount that would attract the death penalty as stipulated in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1973, and would have been sufficient to feed the addiction of about 320 abusers for a week,” said MHA, which added that his appeal against his conviction and sentence was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on Oct 24, 2019.
The ministry said that he had one pending court application, which did not seek a stay of execution, on April 12, 2024 when he was notified of his execution, which was scheduled for April 19. “In fact, the postponement of the first scheduled execution occurred due to Azwan’s own act of filing a last-minute application to seek a stay of execution,” MHA said.
MHA said that Azwan did not dispute that the drugs that were found in his possession belonged to him, but denied that they were all for trafficking.
