PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s criminal justice system must be foolproof if the death penalty is to be retained, said a legal expert. This included enhancing both the procedural and evidential aspects of the law, said Assoc Prof Dr Sha­­­m­­­­­­­­­­rahayu Abdul Aziz of the Inter­na­tional Islamic University of Malay­sia.“To my mind, the judge may err because of the procedural and evidential levels of the standard of proof. It’s not the fault of the death penalty.
