Labeling For A Criminal Breach Of Trust

Posted by EngineeringProfit > 6 hours ago | Report Abuse

In Malaysian law, Criminal Breach of Trust (CBT) is defined under Section 405 of the Penal Code (Act 574). CBT occurs when a person entrusted with property or control over property dishonestly misappropriates it or uses it for purposes other than what it was intended for. The individual must be in a position of trust (e.g., a trustee, agent, or employee) and deliberately breach that trust for personal gain or to harm the rightful owner.

Under Section 406 of the Penal Code, a person convicted of CBT faces imprisonment for a term of up to 10 years, a fine, or both. In cases involving public servants or agents (under Section 409), the penalty is harsher, with imprisonment of up to 20 years, along with a fine and possible whipping.
