The death penalty not only affects those on death row, but their families as well, causing emotional, psychological and economic strain as they navigate the uncertainties and stigma surrounding their loved ones’ fates.

Malaysia has abolished the mandatory death penalty but the death penalty remains in its discretionary form.

BFM speaks to Hayati Mohamad, a founder of Pertubuhan Keluarga Kasih (KeKasih); a family member of someone on death row, Norlia, also a member of KeKasih;  and Tham Jia Vern, research lead of Hayat.
