The drug trafficking case has sparked a rare disquiet in Singapore where the death penalty is largely uncontroversial.
Sarmila Dharmalingam is praying for a miracle. Her brother, Nagaenthran Dharmalingam, is set to be hanged in Singapore's Changi Prison. If it happens, it will be the first execution Singapore has carried out since 2019.
In 2009, then 21-year-old Nagaenthran was found trying to smuggle heroin into Singapore from Malaysia. But the Singapore government said he was found to have "clearly understood the nature of his acts and did not lose his sense of judgment of the rightness or wrongness of what he was doing". "It is completely disheartening that an intellectually disabled man is being punished for a non-violent crime," said one person who signed the petition. "Neither he nor his family deserve this pain. Please save him."
