The Penal Code 1871 sets out general principles[1] of the criminal law of Singapore, as well as the elements and penalties of general criminal offences such as assault, criminal intimidation, mischief, grievous hurt, theft, extortion, sex crimes and cheating.[2] The Penal Code does not define and list exhaustively all the criminal offences applicable in Singapore – a large number of these are created by other statutes such as the Arms Offences Act,[3] Kidnapping Act,[4] Misuse of Drugs Act[5] and Vandalism Act.[6]
