corporate criminal responsibility in SG

Alex_Malt SG

Is there a corporate criminal responsibility in Singapore under any of Singaporean laws eg. Companies Act?
SG Penal Code gives description of the word "person" as any company, or association or body of persons, whether incorporated or not.
Does this formula include corporations?

Thnx everyone who answers Smile

SG Penal Code gives description of the word "person" as any company, or association or body of persons, whether incorporated or not.

that definition was given in 1871, and at that time corporate criminal responsibility didn't exist.

I'm not a specialist in SG law and just interested on what Act regulates this topic.

As for the word "person" it is applicable eg for murder or rape though a corporation could never commit such crime.
