if imposed, would not be carried

out. If it decides to

make such representations it will ask at the same time

the Government of Malaysia to indicate whether it will

commute the death penalty if the fugitive is

surrendered, convicted and sentenced to death.

If the Government of Malaysia, in reply to these

representations of the Hong Kong Government, indicates

that the death penalty will not be commuted, or that it

is not at that stage in a position so to indicate, the

Hong Kong Government, in accordance with its current

policies in the matter, will refuse to surrender the

fugitive under the provisions either of Article 3 or

Article 19 of the Agreement.

I should be grateful to receive a letter

confirming your Government's receipt and understanding

of this communication.

Yours sincerely,

(Leader of Hong Kong Delegation)
