Under the Penal Code, the commission of the following offences may result in the death penalty:
- Waging or attempting to wage war or abetting the waging of war against the Government*
- Offences against the President’s person (in other words, treason)
- Mutiny
- Piracy that endangers life
- Perjury that results in the execution of an innocent person

Under Schedule 2 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, any person found in possession of more than the following quantities of drugs receives a mandatory death sentence:
- (a) 100 grammes of opium;
- (b) 3 grammes of morphine;
- (c) 2 grammes of diamorphine;
- (d) 15 grammes of cannabis;
- (e) 30 grammes of cannabis mixture;
- (f) 10 grammes of cannabis resin;
- (g) 3 grammes of cocaine;
- (h) 25 grammes of methamphetamine;
- (i) 113 grammes of ketamine; or
- (j) 10 grammes of any or any combination of the following:
- (j1) N, α-dimethyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine;
- (j2) α-methyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine; or
- (j3) N-ethyl-α−methyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine,
The Act, to some degree, reverses the usual burden of proof in common law jurisdictions. Under the Act any person found in possession of more than the prescribed amounts is presumed to be trafficking. Any person who has in their possession a key to a premises where drugs are found is presumed to be in possession of the drugs since "Any person who is proved to have had in his possession or custody or under his control —
(a) anything containing a controlled drug;
(b) the keys of anything containing a controlled drug;
(c) the keys of any place or premises or any part thereof in which a controlled drug is found; or
(d) a document of title relating to a controlled drug or any other document intended for the delivery of a controlled drug,
shall, until the contrary is proved, be presumed to have had that drug in his possession."
Furthermore, any person who is proved or presumed to have had a controlled drug in his possession shall be presumed to have known the nature of that drug.
