Leader of the Malaysian delegation
to Leader of the Hong Kong delegation

I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your letter
concerning the manner in which the Hong
Kong Government intends to react in connection with the
surrender of fugitive offenders in respect of offences
which carry the death penalty. My Government takes note
of your communication.
The Government of Malaysia recognises and enforces
legislation implementing the death penalty and looks
towards an agreement that would inter alia facilitate
its law enforcement in this regard. I would also like to
inform you that it is not possible for the Government of
Malaysia in any way to pre-empt the exercise of the
powers of the various Pardon Boards to grant pardons,
reprieves and respites.
Yours sincerely,
[Leader of Malaysian Delegation]
