    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to oppose this Motion. There is sufficient scientific evidence proving that criminal tendencies including murderous tendencies are intrinsically genetic. If we continue to allow people with those characteristics to roam our streets, we will simply give them the chance to continue to breed more of their type in order to continue committing such crimes. In China where they do not have the death sentence, at least criminals are castrated and forced to work, providing free labour in public works such as building roads and bridges. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been alleged that murder continues in spite of the presence of the death sentence in our Statute Books. I want to suggest that this continues because of the failure in the administration of law. These people continue to enjoy free food and beddings in prisons and police custody after they have committed such crimes, for an indefinite time. It is the failure of the administration of law and justice that is encouraging more of such criminal activities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, due to shortage of time, I want to oppose this Motion and strongly recommend that this House rejects this Motion."
