The death penalty does not serve as a deterrent to crime as its execution is shrouded in secrecy, said retired Appellate Court judge Mah Weng Kwai.
Speaking at a forum on the abolishment of capital punishment last night, he said the public cannot make an informed decision that would prevent them from committing crimes when they do not have information on the punishment.
"Why is the execution of the death penalty by hanging not carried out in public? Why are executions shrouded in secrecy? To be an effective deterrent, shouldn't it be carried out in public and publicised?"
