The prisoners say their final goodbyes.

They can ask for a last meal, although they are by no means guaranteed to get what they asked for, the hangman said.

‘Some people ask, is there any chance to drink, smoke?’ the executioner laughed. ‘There’s no such thing as ‘one for the road! Let’s have a drink before we go!’

The next day the prisoner wakes and is led into the gallows.

The jail is, usually, quiet and still.

Sometimes, the executioner said, it’s all over ‘ten seconds’ after the prisoner steps into the chamber.

Malaysia has a mandatory death sentence for anyone found guilty of carrying more than 50 grams of a prohibited drug.

One Nigerian man cried for his entire final day after being told he would die, the hangman recalled.

The executioner who spoke to Daily Mail Australia killed his first inmate, a drug smuggling Thai actor when he was 26-years-old.

Over his career, he directly hanged 70 people, and supervised about 60 more.

Sometimes, the hangman executed multiple people at once.

There were six people all together on one occasion, three on another. ‘Ninety per cent’ of prisoners were peaceful in their final moments, he claimed.

The rest were distressed.

One notorious mass-murderer even spat in the hangman’s face as the cover was placed over his head.

‘He killed women, he killed children,’ the executioner said.’

I had no regret, I had totally no regret. I can still make his face, he’s looking at me, spitting in my face’.

One inmate left a heartbreaking letter to his son saying ‘please do not do the same thing I did… selling drugs, doing this, it’s not going to get you anywhere.

I made this mistake, I’m very sorry son.’

The doomed prisoner asked the hangman to give it to his boy.

‘I shook hands with (the son) and said: “I’m very sorry”,’ he recalled.

Most of the damned were men.

A 6 ft 5 Nigerian man cried for his entire final day after being told he would die, the hangman recalled.

‘Woman, I think, are tougher than men,’ the executioner said.

About six women were hanged under his watch and, ‘women are always more well prepared than men, I noticed that.’

Hangmen are handpicked from existing jail staff by a selection panel.

‘You must have a very good record, physically you must be fit, mentally you must be strong,’ he said.’

You have to be very, very strong.

It’s not easy to become an executioner.

You must be able to control your emotions.’

Executions do not happen every day, or even every month.

In 2016, Malaysia put nine people to death, while its courts handed down more than 36 death sentences, according to Amnesty International statistics.

But why do people follow such a career in the first place?

The hangmen said he did his work out of a sense of duty to the nation.

‘Of course there is emotion there,’ he said. ‘I only see it as part of my work.’

I feel like this is my work, to serve the country, and nothing more than that.

‘I do not hold any grudges. I do not hold any ill feelings towards the opposite, even if it is a murderer, even if they are drug smugglers… because I know the process of law has been done, has been carried out.’

The hangman said he has ‘no regrets’.

Malaysia has a mandatory death sentence for anyone found guilty of carrying more than 50 grams of a prohibited drug.

Exposto was caught with 1.5 kilograms of crystal meth in her bag at Kuala Lumpur international airport.

She has been held at Kajang prison since her arrest.
