    • An important caveat must be introduced here. It is acknowledged that a multidimensional approach is crucial and while this paper focuses on criminal justice and women's rights, it is not suggested that there are no other dimensions to domestic violence. All that is contended is that this particular aspect needs serious attention.

    • The criminal laws of Singapore and Malaysia are virtually identical. Both have their origins in the Penal Code of the Straits Settlements of 1871. When Singapore became a crown colony in 1935 and the Federation of Malaysia was formed in 1948, each jurisdiction simply adopted the Straits Settlement Penal Code, which incidentally was copied from the Indian Penal Code of 1860. The current version of the Penal Codes are Penal Code, Cap. 224, Revised Edition 1985 (Singapore) and Penal Code Revised 1997 (Malaysia). The general discussion of Penal Code offenses applies equally to both jurisdictions unless otherwise specified.
