BERA: The death penalty in Malaysia remains, but it will no longer be mandatory for some cases and judges will be given discretion when sentencing offenders, Malaysia’s Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Friday (Jun 10).

It comes after Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said in a statement earlier that the Malaysian government had agreed to abolish the mandatory death penalty.

The de facto law minister said that capital punishment would be replaced by other types of punishment at the court’s discretion.

Mr Ismail Sabri said that the death penalty will no longer be mandatory and judges will no longer be bound by the term that had left them with no choice but to impose the death penalty on criminal offenders such as those in drug trafficking cases.

No. They are elected for their ability to interpret the law of the country.
