Summary
In Singapore and Malaysia, the privilege against self-incrimination allows individuals to refuse to provide evidence that could incriminate themselves, regardless of whether they have been arrested. This protection is enshrined in Section 22 of Singapores Criminal Procedure Code and Article 5(3) of Malaysias Federal Constitution. However, individuals are not legally obliged to turn themselves in for crimes they commit, but they can still be prosecuted if evidence is independently discovered. For specific legal advice, consulting a qualified legal professional is recommended.Full Conversation
