SINGAPORE: Since Pakatan Harapan took power, it has made three requests to stop executions of Malaysians in Singapore, two of whom are drug traffickers, says Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam.But he said Singapore could not make exceptions for Malaysians sentenced to death as it would undermine the rule of law here.
“Let me be clear. It’s not possible for us to do so regardless of how many requests we receive,” he said.He added that the Singapore government would not intervene when there were no legal reasons to do so.
