Mahkamah Tinggi Singapura benarkan penangguhan hukuman mati warga Malaysia

SINGAPURA: Mahkamah Tinggi Singapura hari ini membenarkan penangguhan pelaksanaan hukuman terhadap seorang warga Malaysia yang sepatutnya menjalani hukuman gantung pada Rabu (10 Nov) atas sabitan mengedar dadah.

Keputusan itu dimuatnaik di Facebook oleh M. Ravi, peguam kepada lelaki yang dihukum mati iaitu Nagaentran K Dharmalingam, 33.

"Mahkamah Tinggi baru sahaja memerintahkan penangguhan pelaksanaan sementara menunggu perbicaraan rayuan di Mahkamah Rayuan terhadap keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi," katanya.

Prosiding bagi permohonan mencabar pelaksanaan penghakiman didengar melalui aplikasi zoom hari ini, dua hari sebelum tarikh pelaksanaan hukuman gantung pada 10 Nov.

Nagaentran ditahan pada 2009 kerana membawa masuk 42.7 gram (1.5 aun) heroin ke Singapura.

Consider This: Multidimensional Poverty in the 21st Century

Despite decades of progress, poverty continues to trap millions in cycles of deprivation, and conventional measures often fail to reflect the full scope of their struggles. The Multidimensional Poverty Index, developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, offers a revolutionary way to understand and address poverty by looking at deprivations in education, health, and living standards. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. Together with Professor James Foster, she developed the Alkire-Foster method for measuring multidimensional poverty.
