Singapore: The Singapore government has reaffirmed that Nagendran, who is of Indian descent, will be sentenced to death in a drug trafficking case.
Nagendran Dharmalingam, a youth of Indian descent from Malaysia, was arrested in 2009 for smuggling heroin into Singapore. He was sentenced to death by a Singapore court. Nagendran’s subsequent appeals and clemency petitions were rejected. Following this, Nagendran was to be executed on the 10th.
However, the sentence has been postponed due to corona damage. In this situation, the Malaysian government urged the Singaporean government to reduce Nagendran’s death sentence to life imprisonment. Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yacoub sent a letter to Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in this regard.
The Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong has sent a letter to Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan. According to the Malaysian news agency Bernama, they have stated that they cannot interfere in the death penalty under Singapore law. Meanwhile, four UN special envoys have called on the Singapore government to end the death penalty.
Speaking at the UN, Tudor Umej Patia, UN Secretary-General for the Government of Singapore, said: At the same time, it said that there are physical problems. He has been sentenced to death on that basis. Thus he spoke.
