PETALING JAYA: The 20-year jail term and 10 strokes of the rotan imposed on Canny Ong’s murderer Ahmad Najib Aris for raping her has become a topic of discussion.

Many readers called up to ask whether the convicted murderer would be caned before he is hanged. Criminal lawyer Jerald Gomez said this was provided under section 289 (b) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
