SINGAPORE, July 5 — Death row inmate Nazeri Lajim beams at the camera, fingers raised in a “V” sign, wearing a shirt emblazoned with large motifs and showing no signs of his impending hanging.
“When I see his photograph, he’s very healthy man, he’s very good looking man... his face shines,” Nazira Lajim Hertslet, his sister, told AFP. “I was very upset... that he was taken away just like that.” Thirteen people have been hanged since the government resumed executions following a two-year hiatus in place during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In his sister’s favourite photograph of him, he is wearing a white Muslim prayer robe, his hands clasped in front, looking at the camera.Little information is publicly available about Singapore’s death row inmates. Tangaraju Suppiah, a 46-year-old Singaporean, was hanged in April for conspiring to smuggle one kilogramme of cannabis.Tangaraju initially refused to do the photo shoot, but relented after his family persuaded him, she said.
