When baby Zara's mother, Noraida Abdul Aziz sent her to her children's baby-sitter on 7th November, she did not know that this would be the last time she would be holding her baby alive. By the end of the day, baby Zara was hospitalised for physical abuse and rape. Two days later, she died of her injury, which included fractured skull and torn hymen. The suspect, the husband of the baby-sitter, was tested positive of methamphetamine abuse.
Yet, today (13th November 2018), Malaysian Cabinet had decided to abolish the death penalty.
A massive win for human rights activists. But is it the right move? Or is it a move that would bite Malaysians in the future?
