Fasal-fasal 2 dan 3 [Pindaan] - 

 Tuan Pengerusi  [Datuk Seri Dr. Ronald Kiandee]: Sila Yang Berhormat.  

 

5.03 ptg. 

 Tuan Ramkarpal Singh a/l Karpal Singh [Bukit Gelugor]: Terima kasih Tuan 
Pengerusi. Yang Berhormat Menteri, saya telah pun mengemukakan beberapa pindaan 
seperti mana yang tertera di dalam surat saya bertarikh 27 November 2017 yang telah 
pun saya percaya diserahkan kepada semua pihak di Dewan yang mulia ini. Di dalam 
surat saya tersebut, saya telah pun mencadangkan beberapa pindaan kepada seksyen 
2, rang undang-undang ini dan juga kepada keseluruhan seksyen 2 dan juga seksyen 
32.  

 Saya bermula dengan seksyen 2, Tuan Pengerusi. Pada asalnya ianya 
berbunyi, saya quote dalam bahasa asal di dalam rang undang-undang tersebut iaitu 
bahasa Inggeris. “Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of subsection (1) 
shall be guilty of an offence against this act and shall be punished on conviction with 
death or imprisonment for life and shall, if he is not sentenced to death, be punished with 
whipping of not less than fifteen strokes.”  

 Saya telah pun mengemukakan cadangan-cadangan yang berikut. Pertamanya 
memasukkan perkataan-perkataan “or for a term which shall not be less than five years” 
selepas perkataan “life” dan sebelum perkataan “and” dan menggantikan perkataan 
“fifteen” dengan perkataan “ten” supaya seksyen 2, rang undang-undang tersebut 
berbunyi, saya quote, “ Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of subsection 
(1) shall be guilty of an offence against this act and shall be punished on conviction with 
death or imprisonment for life or for a term which shall not be less than five years and 
shall, if he is not sentenced to death, be punished with whipping of not less than ten 
strokes”.  

 Berkenaan dengan seksyen 2, rang undang-undang tersebut, saya 
membacakan seksyen yang asal tersebut mengikut rang undang-undang. Saya quote, 
minta maaf (2A). “In exercising the power conferred by subsection (2), the court in 
imposing the sentence of imprisonment for life and whipping of not less than fifteen 
strokes, may have regard only to the following circumstances: 

(a) there was no evidence of buying and selling of a dangerous drug 
at the time when the person convicted was arrested; 

(b) there was no involvement of agent provocateur; or 

(c) the involvement of the person convicted is restricted to 
transporting, carrying, sending or delivering a dangerous drug; 
and saya percaya mengikut pindaan dalam Jawatankuasa yang 
telah pun dikemukakan oleh Yang Berhormat Menteri, telah pun, 
ataupun dicadangkan dipinda supaya the words “the public 
prosecutor certifies in writing to the court that in his 
determination” dibatalkan dan digantikan dengan perkataan 
“that” untuk berbunyi “that the person convicted has assisted an 
enforcement agency in distrupting drug trafficking activities within 
or outside Malaysia". 

Cadangan-cadangan pindaan saya, Tuan Pengerusi, adalah tiga.  

(a) mengeluarkan perkataan “only” dan memasukkan perkataan-
perkataan “or for a term wich shall not be less than five years” 
selepas perkataan “life” dan sebelum perkataan “and” dan 
menggantikan perkataan “fifteen” dengan perkataan “ten” 
daripada frasa “In exercising the power conferred by subsection 
(2), the Court in imposing the sentence of imprisonment for life 
and whipping of not less than fifteen strokes, may have regard 
only to the following circumstances” supaya frasa tersebut Tuan 
Pengerusi, berbunyi “In exercising the power conferred by 
subsection (2), the Court in imposing the sentence of 
imprisonment for life or for a term which shall not be less than 
five years and whipping of not less than ten strokes, may have 
regard to the following circumstances”.
