Agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

The DAP's opposition to the death penalty can be partly attributed to concerns about the potential for innocent people to be convicted and executed. In 2018, DAP's Lim Kit Siang called for a moratorium on the death penalty and urged the government to review all death penalty cases, highlighting the risk of wrongful convictions.

Agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While the DAP has generally leaned towards opposing the death penalty, some party members have expressed support for the death penalty in specific cases, such as horrific crimes with undeniable evidence. This suggests that the party might be open to a more limited application of the death penalty.

Slightly agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

The DAP has not explicitly advocated for life imprisonment as a harsher sentence than the death penalty. However, their opposition to the death penalty suggests that they might be open to alternative forms of punishment, such as life imprisonment.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

There is no evidence to suggest that the DAP supports the idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment, as this would go against the principles of an impartial justice system. The party has not made any statements advocating for such a policy.
