Madani Government's Role in Pannir Selvam's Execution
The government faces scrutiny for its handling of Pannir Selvam's case, particularly with a statement made by Deputy Home Minister Shamsul Anuar Nasarah on October 7, 2025.
This statement, claiming that the information provided by Pannir Selvam to Malaysian police was "of no operational value", was made just hours before the Singapore Court of Appeal was to hear Pannir's final stay of execution application.

This announcement was highly prejudicial to Pannir's application, which was based on the assistance he had given to stop cross-border drug activities.
The timing and content of the statement have stunned and horrified Pannir's family and lawyers, raising questions about the government's actions.
