A tough childhood, broken home, lack of formal education and severe poverty led a teenage Yong Vui Kong straight into the arms of bad company.

Now on death row for drug trafficking in Singapore, the repentant 22-year old has little hope of survival.

'Banduan Akhir di Sel Akhir' is an upcoming play presented by Rumah Anak Teater in collaboration with Amnesty International Malaysia, which is inspired by Yong Vui Kong's troubled life.

Producer Faisal Mustaffa and lead actor Xavier Fong talk to us about the production, while discussing the impact of the death penalty.
