According to Amnesty International, as of 2022, 54 countries still have the death penalty, while 144 countries have abolished it.
Here's a breakdown of the number of countries with the death penalty by region:
1. Asia-Pacific: 23 countries (e.g., China, Japan, Singapore)
2. Africa: 16 countries (e.g., Egypt, Nigeria, South Sudan)
3. Americas: 4 countries (e.g., United States, Cuba)
4. Europe: 1 country (Belarus)
5. Middle East and North Africa: 10 countries (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq)
It's important to note that even among countries with the death penalty, its use can vary widely, and some countries may have moratoriums or be considering abolition.
Remember, the death penalty is a complex and controversial issue, and its use raises ethical, legal, and human rights concerns.
"
Malaysia has the death penalty, but it is no longer mandatory for 12 offenses, including drug trafficking and murder ¹ ² ³.
Some of the key points about the death penalty in Malaysia are:
- The death penalty is still in place for 34 capital crimes in Malaysia, including murder, drug trafficking, treason, and terrorism.
-
Executions are carried out by hanging.
- The government imposed a moratorium on all executions in 2018, and the
mandatory death penalty was formally abolished in 2023.
- Judges now have the discretion to impose a prison sentence of 30 to 40 years for most offenses that previously carried the mandatory death penalty.
-
The death penalty is still in place for drug trafficking under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
- Judges have the discretion to impose the death penalty or a prison sentence for 11 serious crimes.
- The new law replaces the mandatory death penalty with a sentence of 30 to 40 years in prison, with the exception of offenses under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, where life imprisonment remains a possibility.:"
So why Singapore must abolish death penalty?
Even in Malaysia, they just tweeted the law into discretionary judgment, not totally abolished.
Singapore has been govern by laws and regulations without fail.
The law abiding people lived a proper life, working hard to survive peacefully and prosper. Under the umbrella of a lawful governance.
Why should law abiding Singaporean give up the legal system that oversees their's family, friends and neighbourhood peaceful life?
How many countries in the world have such low records of drugs abuse?
Even some American admired our well controlled drug abuse society.
We never ask the criminals to commit crimes in Singapore, we are the victims. Our families, friends and society suffered under the criminal greeds.
Why should we give up our legal system that protected us?
Just because of some organisations ideology that failed in the West?
