Ultimately, the takeaway is making sure you`re not carrying deadly weapons when you shouldn`t. While a parang looks like a house in a garden, we have a hard time explaining why we wear one in the back seat. I carry a disposable baton with me when I go to work at night, and I can say firsthand that it`s not fun to be questioned by police officers when you`re late. But they let me go on 2 different occasions, given the excuses I use, i.e. traveling far and late on a motorcycle. The law states that you must carry the assault weapon with lawful authority or purpose. So for you and me who want to wear something in self-defense, if we ever get stopped and searched, we have to show that we wore this metal baseball bat because we`re a baseball player, or we wear this bokken (wooden katana) because we practice kendo. So, are there weapons we can carry for self-defense? Well. I was told that there had been an attempt at self-defence and that it was perfectly legal to wear it.
Anyone can play hockey 🏑 Yes, in Malaysian law it is a joke, we cannot harm this thief and let him bleed/kill, the fault will lie with us and the thief will win the case. We have to hurt them to the point where they can`t move without bleeding blood. Carry these items at your own risk and use them with even greater risk, as self-defense in Malaysia can throw you in jail if the force you use is deemed unjustified. Yes, it`s legal as long as it`s – NOT a sharp object like a sword/knife – some people carry pepper spray/spray chili kunkle brass is also a good consideration Let`s make it clear from the outset that firearms are completely illegal unless you have a Carriage and Use (C&U) license under the Weapons Act 1960. Our friends at CILISOS have already written an article on how to get a license, which you can find here. Take Kamarusham bin Zakaria v. Prosecutor [2017], where Kamarusham was found by police under a bridge with a knife in Kelantan around 11 p.m. He had already spent 9 months in prison, but it was decided that the law should restrict the use of weapons to commit serious crimes. It was always a crime to possess a dangerous weapon like this, but the judges let Kamarusham go on condition of good behaviour because the circumstances did not indicate that he would use the knife to commit a crime. As the judge said: No, no weapons are allowed. Even a pocket knife can be transported illegally.
If you really feel that you need a gun, you can use the car steering lock. This is where the lines between legal and illegal start to blur a bit. Section 6(1) of the CESOWA states that it is illegal to carry an assault weapon in public without authorization or lawful purpose. As a criminal, you will be punished with 5 to 10 years in prison, plus flogging. But what is an assault weapon anyway? Section 2 states: I think it would be illegal to carry knives everywhere in public. So the answer is that carrying a knife is illegal in Malaysia. They are arrested and charged under the Corrosive, Explosive and Dangerous Weapons Act 1958, which, if convicted, carries a sentence of up to two years` imprisonment and flogging. Some people carry short knives for defensive purposes and never get caught. Those who are arrested and charged are likely to be arrested by the police after receiving a call from the public or the suspected security guard.
Some are even arrested for carrying a knife in front of their own homes – perhaps with their knife or mannerism when carrying a knife. Another fun fact that you may not know in Malaysia, you need to apply for a gun license, if you want a gun for yourself, this must be a very good valid reason as the application process is studied by the defense of the department, because if you are carrying a firearm, You have the power to kill someone. If you are reading this article, congratulations on staying alive so far…? The board seems to have kept you safe and hopefully you`ll never need to defend yourself with a gun. But what kind of weapons are we allowed to bring? Aren`t some of them illegal? Depending on why you carry knives, bats, or even weapons, you may even break the law. The police have the right to stop and search you if they find you in suspicious circumstances, so if you really need to take something with you to defend yourself, make sure you have a legal reason to do so. And if you ever have something legitimate to do with a Parang, you should probably do it in broad daylight and not under the cover of night. as in most Malaysian laws. That depends. There are cases where people are arrested simply because they have a knife. Thus.
It`s best to use things that are often not identified as a “weapon.” like a broom or umbrella for self-defense, things you need to bring. Because our law is so ambiguous, even the pen can be identified as a weapon that you intentionally bring with you to harm others if you don`t have enough solid excuse to bring it. The list basically forbids anything that has no practical purpose other than harming others. The carrying of a weapon is punishable by imprisonment for 5 to 10 years under article 7, paragraph 1. We have our illegal weapons laws under the Corrosive and Explosive Substances and Offensive Weapons Act 1958 (CESOWA). In addition to having a name, this law gives us a list of weapons that we, ordinary citizens, cannot carry, mainly because they have only one purpose: to harm. The list can be found under the second schedule, which is summarized: Contrary to some rumors circulating, there is no law that says that a blade smaller than 3 inches is allowed. The wording of the law is broad enough to cover anything that could be used as a weapon by scammers, but that doesn`t help us understand what`s legal and what`s not.
If we really wanted to, even a computer screen can be used as a weapon. The weapon you have is not illegal (a planned weapon). Flip knife – any blade with a blade that opens automatically via a button, spring, or other devices connected to the knife handle.
