SINGAPORE: Malaysia will not interfere in other countries' internal affairs, including a court case involving a Malaysian death row inmate in Singapore. It was reported that a Malaysian death row inmate S. Prabagaran, aged 30, was making a judicial review application to direct the Government to start proceedings against Singapore in the International Court of Justice over his conviction for drug trafficking. The inmate was sentenced to death in September 2014 and had reportedly exhausted all appeals in the republic. Asked how many Malaysians are on death row in Singapore, Ilango declined to reveal the numbers. In another case on death row, the Singapore apex court on Monday dismissed an appeal for the 2010 Kallang slashing case involving Michael Garing.
