by Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department on the abolition of the mandatory death sentence for 11 offences as promised in the Pakatan Harapan GE14 manifesto.
We can only improve on the promises or change them if forced to with the support of the majority of the people. Otherwise, we should wait for the next manifesto to be published and seek the people’s mandate again. By abolishing the mandatory life sentence, a majority of them, especially the drug mules, will be able to look forward to having their lives spared. Isn’t this a remarkable improvement already? This is supported by most of the people.
We have to make sure the accused gets a fair trial and the judicial process is robust and beyond abuse. The human rights of the accused and the justice for victims of fatal crime is not a zero-sum game; they can co-exist.
