Common questions
What is criminal breach of trust under Malaysian law?
Criminal breach of trust (Penal Code section 405) is dishonest misappropriation of property entrusted to you. A basic conviction (section 406) carries up to 7 years' imprisonment and a fine; breach by an agent, public servant, or person in a position of trust carries up to 20 years plus caning.
What counts as cheating under Malaysian law?
Cheating (Penal Code section 415) is intentional deception used to dishonestly induce someone to hand over money, goods or property. Penalties depend on the specific section charged and any aggravating factors.
Do commercial crime lawyers in Petaling Jaya handle money laundering charges?
