KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysian man on death row for trafficking heroin is to be executed this week in Singapore, anti-death penalty activists said Monday, renewing calls for a halt to capital punishment in the city-state.
If the execution goes through, Datchinamurthy Kataiah, 39, will become the third Malaysian national and the eleventh person to be hanged this year in Singapore.
His family received a notice on Sunday that his hanging will take place on Thursday at Singapore’s Changi prison, according to Kokila Annamalai of the Transformative Collective Justice, which advocates for abolishing the death penalty in Singapore.
Datchinamurthy was arrested in 2011 and later convicted of trafficking about 45 grams (1.6 ounces) of heroin into Singapore. He was to be hanged in 2022 but won a last-minute reprieve pending a legal challenge that was dismissed by the court in August.
Singapore’s strict laws mandate the death penalty for anyone caught carrying more than 15 grams of heroin and 500 grams of cannabis. Critics say the law disproportionately targets low-level traffickers and couriers.
请他吃了那么多年的牢饭还不够啊?!Hope he gets to eat a last good meal before going.![]()
This is uncalled for. While you may have your opinion on the death penalty in relation to drugs offenses. There is no need to gloat with respect to their families, it will be a traumatizing event in their liveCan his family come watch? Got cushion seats like in the cinema?

This is pure heroin I think. Usually they are caught with hundreds of grams or even kilos of grams of the powder then HSA will calculate the purity."Datchinamurthy was arrested in 2011 and later convicted of trafficking about 45 grams (1.6 ounces) of heroin into Singapore."
Sibei jialat...only 45g nia. That's exactly the size of a Snickers bar.
Frankly moi also feel to be hanged over such a small weight is quite excessive. Maybe sentenced to life time community service like cleaning the pavement of Orchard Rd everyday, wear bright orange so everyone knows he is a druggie criminal ?

This should be pure heroin already. Therefore pure heroin of this size, when processed for consumption with other additive, could possibly get a lot of people addicted"Datchinamurthy was arrested in 2011 and later convicted of trafficking about 45 grams (1.6 ounces) of heroin into Singapore."

Hope one day we can conduct public executions for these traffickers at National Stadium or what. For families of the condemned and hippies to go in and see, charge them entry ticket the cost of rearing these jiak liao bees in prison for x years per head.
the rest all can go in and see for free.
when button press or lever pulled, whole stadium kallang wave and thunderous roar. play the ending theme song from Star Wars Episode 1.
