Singapore has laws and a legal system. But apparently, Amnesty does not feel that Singapore’s sovereignty rights should not be respected, and believe that their own ideals should supersede that Singaporean Laws. Which is why they openly criticised Singapore’s laws, and are reaching out to the public in attempt to put pressure on the Singaporean government. Who the hell do these bigots think they are?

With 24 hours left before he was to be hanged for his crimes, Malaysian murderer Kho Jabing received a stay of execution on his death sentence. Jabing's lawyers had filed a criminal motion yesterday at the Singapore Court of Appeals to request a remittance of his case. The court granted the stay of execution but has not mentioned when the case will be mentioned again.

31 year-old Malaysian national Kho Jabing was convicted of a heinous murder in 2010 after he viciously attacked and killed a Chinese construction worker with a tree branch in a botched robbery attempt in 2008. Kho and a co-defendant had originally been sentenced to the mandatory death penalty in 2010, but a review of Singapore's death penalty laws saw him resentenced to life imprisonment, which the prosecution appealed. In January this year, the High Court arrived at a narrow 3-2 decision to resentence Kho to death again.
