PETALING JAYA:  A coalition of NGOs and individuals have urged Singapore president Tony Tan to grant clemency to Malaysian Kho Jabing (pic) who is due to be executed next week for a murder he committed eight years ago.

In a statement, the coalition said the announcement of Jabing’s execution came as a shock to the family and all involved in campaigning for him as they were under the impression that the authorities would allow his lawyer to submit a fresh clemency appeal on his behalf.
