the mandatory death penalty in the Parliament in February next year, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Azalina Othman Said.
Azalina, in a statement this evening, said the proposal for an alternative treatment to the mandatory death penalty was being reviewed and discussed during the cabinet meeting yesterday.
While amending laws does not abolish the death penalty completely, the Umno lawmaker said it gives the courts discretion to decide on an appropriate punishment based on the facts of the case.
The implementation of the alternative sentencing to the mandatory death sentence is expected to have a direct impact on 1,327 convicts who are currently on death row, she said.
