However, the news portal rejects the request, stating it does not take instructions from any government.

Sangkari Pranthaman writes what Pannir told family members on eve of his execution.

The government has a lot to answer for facilitating Pannir Selvam’s death through such a reckless, rushed and factually wrong statement on the eve of his execution.

This follows the deputy home minister's statement that there will be no further investigation into Pannir Selvam Pranthaman's case, despite his recent four-hour interview with the Malaysian police.

Pannir Selvam Pranthaman is scheduled to face his hangman even as lawyers remain in the dark on the outcome of Bukit Aman’s interview with him.

The Malaysian death row inmate was due to be hanged early tomorrow  amid growing calls for Putrajaya to appeal on behalf of its citizen.

They said Ong Ying Ping accepted payments from the family but refused to represent Pannir Selvam in a case against the government's illegal disclosure of prisoners' correspondence.

The 4-day notice came despite activists and rights groups' appeal the Malaysian government to intervene.

It is of no use to find out that one is is innocent after being executed.

More than 20 civil society groups say that Pannir Selvam's case is riddled with violations of international human rights laws.
