Malaysia Supports Death Penalty Indonesia

(REPUBLIKA) - JAKARTA, Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia, Dato Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim expressed his view on executions, which applied to the Government of Indonesia on drug offenders. He said Indonesia must uphold the rules that have been made despite a lot of criticism from various parties.

Speaking in front of reporters at the Malaysian Embassy in Indonesia, Monday (16/2), Dato Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim said, narcotics is a shameful crime. In Malaysia, the death penalty has long been applied to those who committed crimes of this kind.

For that Dato Seri Zahrain said Indonesia must uphold the regulations that have been issued. "Do not be the same that was done, that it was released," he said.

He added that six Malaysian citizens themselves now face the death penalty by the Government of Indonesia. As a Malaysian state tries to save its citizens to submit a letter for forgiveness, but according to Dato Seri Zahrain if amnesty was granted Malaysia will continue to respect the decision of Indonesia.

"We will continue to ask seduction letter (petition) but if not given, so we respect," said Dato Seri Zahrain.

According to him like in the country, the death penalty is applied for a deterrent effect on drug offenders. But he could not be sure, the application of such penalties can reduce the number of drug trafficking in Malaysia.

"If the problem of reducing or not we do not know, there are actors eraser way to make money by illicit means such as narcotics," he said.
