IPOH, WED:

 

The High Court here today sentenced two men to death by hanging after they were found guilty of trafficking in nearly 1kg of cannabis six years ago.

 

Judicial Commissioner Ridwan Ibrahim, in making the decision, said the court had no choice but to pass the death sentence on Khairil Anuar Abdul Rahman, 34, and Afendi Adam, 28, after the prosecution had proven their case against the two men beyond reasonable doubt.

 

Ridwan, however, did not provide the grounds for his judgment.

 

Khairil Anuar, a restaurant worker, and Afendi, a painter, were charged in the High Court here on March 12, 2002 with trafficking in 971gm of cannabis in Jalan Rokam, Taman Razaki, here on Feb 28, 2002 with another person still at large.

 

Deputy public prosecutor Julia Ibrahim prosecuted, while Khairil Anuar and Afendi were represented by lawyers Manjeet Kaur and Ranjit Singh Sandhu respectively.

 

Manjeet and Ranjit were expected to file an appeal for their clients against the conviction and sentence.

If they are hanged it will be a crime against humanity ... how can some men take others lives with such scant disregard ... cause its not the gutless Judicial Commisioner who does the act of hanging another human by the neck until they are dead ..

so he just signs his name on a paper and others are left to carry out his unnecessary order of death ...

 

dont ever let them tell you that its a civilised world in which we live .....

Stupid me I thought we lived in the 21st century not the dark ages. What a sad sad world.

There are no words harsh enough for a barbaric act relating to a 'crime' of no consequence.

What's a human life worth? hmmmm about a kilo of Cannabis apparently, in some busted arse back waters

[Nooby]

Yes, much more enlightened over here where you can rape kids and murder people and end up with what amounts to a state-hug because 'understanding the person who chooses to commits (real) crime' is more important than giving them their due punishment. While over there people get hung for selling plant material and going out in public with the opposite sex?

 

This planet is so screwed up.

Farken crazy, stupid world we live in. What a pile of crap.

[kiloppo]

that's so wrong.

 

 

the reason it's illegal is because it's 'bad' for you. Can't be that bad for you if your dead. It boggles the mind how some people in power think
