Malaysia seeks to decriminalise suicide attempts

CNA – Malaysia is seeking to decriminalise suicide attempts, its law minister said on Tuesday, the latest in a recent slew of legal reforms pursued by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s government.

The announcement comes a day after Malaysia’s Parliament on Monday voted to remove the mandatory death penalty, trim the number of offences punishable by death, and abolish natural-life prison sentences.

More details in Wednesday’s Borneo Bulletin.
