The first edition, published in 2007, has been out for seven years. Since then, the Criminal Procedure Code of 2010 (CPC) has taken effect, and this book will address the practical concerns of the CPC's relationship with the Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA). The applicability of the confiscation provisions under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking, and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act is also discussed in this book. The prosecution of sham marriages and perversion of justice under section 5 PCA was the pinnacle of the section's reach. Since then, there has been a reduction in the employment of that section, and there will be a discussion of how instances that were previously prosecuted under § 5 are now treated.
The significance of the Court of Appeal's decision in PP v Teo Chu Ha that the PCA cannot be circumvented by the clever structuring of a financial gratification will be discussed, as will various judicial pronouncements on words and phrases like "public body" and "gratification," as well as the applicability of the statutory presumptions in ss 8 and 9 of the PCA. Finally, the book will discuss the PP v Ng Boon Gay, PP v Peter Benedict Lim, and PP v Tey Hsun Hang sexual gratification instances, as well as the important considerations in determining whether such gratifications are corrupt.
