KUALA LUMPUR: Two Bills to abolish the mandatory death penalty were passed in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday following a voice vote by MPs.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Ramkarpal Singh tabled the Abolition of Mandatory Death Penalty Bill 2023 and the Revision of Sentences of Death and Imprisonment for Natural Life Bill 2023 for their second and third readings in Parliament.
“The death penalty is still maintained for certain cases. We need to have confidence in the judiciary in deciding based on their discretion,” said Ramkarpal. Ramkarpal also said the government had met with the families of murder victims to get their opinion on the Bills.
