A day before the Cabinet made the decision, the DPM said the govt could reconsider abolishing the death penalty for murder cases, especially child murder. 

However, Liew suggested that is unlikely, saying murderers will be imprisoned for a minimum of 30 years or for life, with no possibility of parole.
