Abstract

A provision unique to Singapore and Malaysia criminalises the corruption of "any person... in respect of any matter or transaction whatsoever." This discussion hopes to describe the intractable difficulty experienced in a flood of recent decisions attempting to interpret this section, and advances the view that it is too vague and uncertain to be a satisfactory criminal norm.

Keywords: Criminal law, non-official corruption, Singapore

JEL Classification: K14, K42
