SECTION 323 PENAL CODE


VOLUNTARILY CAUSING HURT - SHALL NOT ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT- SUMMONS-BAILABLE- COMPOUNDABLE. IMPRISONMENT FOR 1 YEAR OR FINE OF TWO THOUSAND RINGGIT OR BOTH.

All teachers at the primary school level. Remember caning is only authorized by law in prisons. If you raise a cane against any student, it will be a violation of the law. You are employed to teach, not to bruise someones buttock. Also those who employ foreigners and start abusing them in various ways- take heed. If you are a Malaysian, and you cause hurt voluntarily and are arrested- you will not walk away without paying the full price.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT- S509 PC

ARE THERE ANY LAW IN MALAYSIA TO DEAL SPECIFICALLY WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASES ?

No. There is only one law in existence that comes close to dealing with the issue of sexual harassment in Malaysia - Penal Code, section 509.
The Penal Code, section 509 provides that :
"Whoever, intending to insult the modesty of any women, utters any words, makes any sound or gesture or exhibit any object, intending that such word or sound shall be heard, or such gesture or object shall be seen by such woman, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 5 years or with fine, or with both".
