The Kidnapping Act 1961 is a statute of the Parliament of Singapore that criminalizes the illegal abduction, wrongful restraints and wrongful confinement of any person. The law is designed specifically to make acts of knowingly seeking and receiving ransom in connection with the kidnap of any person a criminal offence.
Other serious offences are created by statutes such as the Arms Offences Act, Kidnapping Act, Misuse of Drugs Act and Vandalism Act. Singapore retains both corporal punishment (in the form of caning) and capital punishment (by hanging) as legal penalties. For certain offences, the imposition of these penalties is mandatory.
The Penal Code does not define and list exhaustively all the criminal offences applicable in Singapore – a large number of these are created by other statutes such as the Arms Offences Act, [3] Kidnapping Act, [4] Misuse of Drugs Act [5] and Vandalism Act. [6]
