10 years later then hang? Is that the normal procedure?

Iskandar was sentenced on Dec 4, 2015, to hang, after he was convicted of the murders of Mr Tan Boon Sin, 67, and his elder son, Mr Tan Chee Heong, 42, at the senior Tan’s Hillside Drive house on the afternoon of July 10, 2013.

Appealed against his conviction sentence, but the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal on Feb 3, 2017, which was also Iskandar’s 38th birthday.
Police said he was accorded full due process under law, and was represented by legal counsel both at the trial and at the appeal. They added: “

Grisly details of deaths & 54-hour search for Iskandar, who had fled to M'sia, shocked S'pore at the time. The veteran police officer of 14 yrs was facing imminent bankruptcy in 2013, he plotted to steal from 67-year-old car workshop owner.
Iskandar, who was 34 at the time, knew from a police report Mr Tan Boon Sin had made the older man kept a large sum of cash in a safe deposit box. On July 10, 2013, Iskandar persuaded Mr Tan Boon Sin to remove his money from the box so that a camera could be placed inside. He then escorted victim back to his terrace house in Hillside Drive, where the senior staff sergeant stabbed & slashed him 27 times.

When the victim’s 42-year-old son entered the house, Iskandar also stabbed the younger Tan.
Iskandar then dragged Mr Tan Chee Heong under his getaway car for nearly 1km, leaving a trail of blood as onlookers watched in horror. Two days after Iskandar fled S'pore, he was nabbed in Johor Bahru at a seafood restaurant just minutes away from Causeway. In 2015, he was found guilty of two counts of murder, following a trial.

While Iskandar did not dispute killings, he had maintained throughout trial that Mr Tan Boon Sin attacked him first with a knife, that he had reacted in self-defence by stabbing & slashing his victim after wresting knife away. He also said that he had retaliated against Mr Tan’s son, who had charged at him with clenched fists, as prosecution argued Iskandar had intended to kill both victims, pointing to multiple knife wounds suffered by both men – mostly in vital areas of the head, neck & chest.

Delivering verdict in a packed courtroom of about 60 people, then High Court Justice Tay Yong Kwang rejected Iskandar’s defence found that he had attacked the two men “cruelly & relentlessly with clear intention of causing death”. Iskandar was represented by different counsel during his appeal in 2016 against his conviction & sentence, which was dismissed in 2017. In 2018, he filed a complaint to the Law Society against his trial defence team. A four-member inquiry committee, after speaking to Iskandar in prison and getting explanations from the lawyers, decided that no formal investigation was necessary.

In June 2019, Iskandar asked the High Court to order the Law Society to start the process for a disciplinary tribunal to be appointed to investigate his complaint. The High Court found that formal investigations were not warranted and dismissed his application in October 2019. Islander then filed an appeal against this decision. The Law Society tried to strike out his appeal, but the apex court in January 2021 ruled that complainants who are pursuing disciplinary probes against lawyers have the right to appeal all the way to S'pore’s highest court. In July 2021, Iskandar failed to convince Court of Appeal that his defence team should be investigated for misconduct.

Capital punishment is imposed on the most serious crimes, including murder” was imposed on Iskandar Rahmat, 46, after petitions to President for clemency were unsuccessful Iskandar was sentenced on Dec 4, 2015, to hang, after he was convicted of two counts of the murders.

In Singapore, tobacco kills approximately 2,500 smokers and 250 non-smokers each year (based on the World No Tobacco Day information paper). There is a high percentage of smokers among Singapore residents aged between 18 to 69. Tobacco is known to cause several types of cancer such as lung, oral and nasopharynx cancer. Most of these cancers were among the top common cancers diagnosed in Singapore residents between 2010 to 2014.

A cigarette alone contains over 7,000 chemicals and in these chemicals, 70 of them are cancer causing substances.

Smoking is the most preventable cause of death and we would like to encourage all to stay smoke free.

Appropriate. Long wait mental torture the person due to uncertainty. Like having hope and then no hope... repeating.

Did u see some court case drag for years.... this mental drained the defendants. See Iswaran and OBS hair all became white.

Be it purpose or not... this drained the person mentally.

Add on, u need years of fact findings before executing the person for many reasons. Prevent mistakes, FOMO, human rights etc...
