Singapore’s criminal law is primarily governed by the Penal Code, which is based on the Indian Penal Code of 1860, with significant local modifications over time. It covers a wide range of offences, including crimes against the person (e.g., murder, assault), property crimes (e.g., theft, vandalism), and offences related to public order and morality.
