The Malaysian government has approved the abolition of the death penalty

Kuala Lumpur:

Malaysia has said it will abolish the death penalty, which is currently used in many crimes, including murder and terrorism.

The Malaysian government has agreed to impose other punishments instead of the death penalty, said Prime Minister Wan Junaidi Tunku Jaber. The law approved the death penalty for 22 more crimes in Malaysia.

In this case, the mandatory death penalty has been abolished. At the same time, the Malaysian government has decided to impose other harsher punishments in return for the death penalty.

It has been reported that most of those facing the death penalty have been convicted of drug offenses. Now that the death penalty has been abolished, it seems unlikely that they will be executed.
