SINGAPORE: The Court of Appeal here on Friday (Sept 5) dismissed Malaysian death-row inmate Pannir Selvam Pranthaman’s bid for a stay of execution, pending the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings arising from his complaint to the Law Society against his former lawyer.
At the initial hearing of his post-appeal application, the court noted that the request for a stay of execution pending those proceedings rested fundamentally on the principle that the Ministry of Home Affairs’ policy on execution scheduling must be applied equally to all.
