At five in the morning of July the 7th 1986 two young Australians convicted of drug trafficking were hanged in Kuala Lumpur.
Trafficking drugs in Malaysia is a deadly serious business. In the next five years more than 600 people could hang. This man has never used his power to save a drug offender from the gallows.
It was a bad thing to do. Some see it as completely barbarous. Some don't.
I love to have these people like these guys to go to the gallows.

Good evening from the National Late Edition. Thank you for joining us.
The Middle East Peace Conference has entered its second day and the differences between Israel and the Arab states are obvious.
Both Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Jordan's foreign minister Kamal Abu Jabr have taken center stage united in their call for peace.
I am sure that there is no Arab mother who wants her son to die in battle.
Just as there is no Jewish mother who wants her son to die in war.
Our quest is for an honorable peace that would enable our people to tear down the walls of fear and hatred as people tore down the wall of Berlin.
Yitzhak referred to history spanning thousands of years of their people and their homelands.
But Mr. Shamir warned the conference could falter if it concentrated on land for peace deals.
The issue is not territory but our existence.
It will be regrettable if the talks focus primarily and exclusively on territory.
It is the quickest way to an impact.
And that to the Arab states and the Palestinians is unacceptable.
Jordan demands the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied Jordanian, Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese land.
And another chasm. Israel says it is prepared to talk peace in the Arab states.
The Arabs have rejected the proposal insisting a second round of negotiations only take place in Madrid.
It has been a night of sensation in Tasmanian politics.

With the resource security legislation finally tabled, the Greens carried out their threat of a no confidence motion.
Sending Premier Michael Field to Government House on what was assumed to be a mission to dissolve the Parliament.
But the Premier pulled an ace out of the hole, claiming the motion was a failure.
