M'sia heading in right direction by doing away with mandatory death penalty, says Lam Thye

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is heading in the "right direction" with the government's decision to abolish the mandatory death sentence with a substitute sentence to be imposed at the discretion of the courts, says social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

However, Lee said Putrajaya has to obtain more public feedback when it is studying the proposed substitute sentences.
