MALAYSIAN Pausi Jefridin and Singaporean Roslan Bakar, who were supposed to be executed yesterday, will return to court on February 28, Lawyers for Liberty legal adviser N. Surendran said.

“Since there is a pending legal case, hence the executions will not proceed as scheduled,” Surendran told The Malaysian Insight.

Yesterday, the Singapore Court of Appeal dismissed an application for a judicial review of the death sentences of Pausi and Roslan.

Pausi, who is from Sabah, and Roslan, both with low IQ, have been found guilty of drug trafficking.

Court documents showed Pausi has an IQ of 67.

They were caught smuggling 96.07g of diamorphine and 76.37g of methamphetamine in 2010.

Another Malaysian, Nagaenthran Dharmalingam, is also on the death row.

Nagaenthran has been diagnosed with an intellectual disability and has an IQ of 69.

Nagaenthran filed two applications last month in an attempt to halt his death sentence.

The Singapore Court of Appeal is scheduled to deliver its decision on March 1. – February 17, 2022.
