Abstract

I refer to the letter “Arrest of former Umany president Wong Yan Ke is unwarranted.” According to the writer, it is crucial to understand the provision of section 186 of the Penal Code. After setting out the provision in full, the writer proceeded to explain the same. Reference was made to the case of PP v Mohamad Sabu [2012] 5 CLJ 246. In that case, the accused was charged under section 186. He was acquitted and discharged without calling for his defence as no prima facie case was made out against him. The prosecution appealed on no less than 10 grounds. Ever so sharp and alert on the law, the learned High Court Judge was of the view that the case could expeditiously be disposed off on the single ground that the charge against the accused was defective.
