Singapore must halt execution of Sarawakian Michael ak Garing — N. Surendran
18 March 2019
Michael's family, who are from Kapit in Sarawak, have only been given eight days' notice of the imminent execution. They have been asked by letter to make the “necessary funeral arrangements.” Michael was only 21 years old when he committed the crime. We accept that it was a serious crime and that he must face punishment. But like any young person who has committed a crime, Michael must be given an opportunity for rehabilitation. By executing him, the state is answering his wrongdoing with an even greater wrong.
