It’s 8:51pm and the judges haven’t returned yet. There was just an announcement that it will be about 20 minutes or so longer. 😣
Lots of anxious families right now, none more so than Abdul Rahim’s loved ones, who are waiting to find out if he will be granted a stay.

We’re still waiting here. It’s 9:33pm.
Still. Here. 9:53pm.
10:21pm. Still here. They might have been told to turn off their cameras because we don’t see the 24 now. #DeathPenalty #StopTheKilling
10:45pm. Still here. This is starting to feel like a fever dream. Those of us still in the public gallery were treated to the interpreters talking about how they’re sleepy, how the biscuits in the room are expired, how maybe later it’ll be hard to book a Grab home. #DeathPenalty
With every minute that ticks by, I’m acutely conscious of how, unless he gets a stay, this is Rahim’s final night to live, and he’s spending it sitting on Zoom waiting for judges, instead of spending it with his family, who are waiting and distraught. #StopTheKilling
11:10pm. Still waiting.
11:32pm. Still waiting.
The judges returned at 11:55pm and delivered the judgement. We just came out of court. Both the joint application and Rahim’s oral application for a stay of execution were dismissed. The execution for later today stands. #DeathPenalty #StopTheKilling
