5. Legal Reform
The standardization of legal framework must be done in order to avoid legal confusion and contradiction. The
purposed standard is to introduce new provision under Penal Code. The form regulation includes aspects such as to
enhance the punishment section, and comprehend the diversity of offences. The introduction of interpretation
section with regards to the fraud, forgery and falsification of document must be conveyed. This is particularly in
respect of evidential standard that must be taken into consideration and given emphasis by the prosecution and
plaintiff to prove beyond reasonable doubt. In term of ‘presumption of guilt’, the fair and reasonable approach must
be adapted in court proceeding and interpretation of presumption provision by the court must be strictly applied.
Furthermore, to ensure the uniformity of the laws, the statute dealing with white color crimes must be introduced.
This includes other offences such as fraud, forgery, falsification of documents and criminal breach of trust. The
uniformity of the statute will encourage specific interpretation that can avoid confusion pertaining to the legal term
and evidential aspect of the offences itself. The court must strictly adapt beyond reasonable doubt standard of proof
when dealing with these types of cases.
For the purpose of investigation, the setting of white color crime unit that specialized in identified financial
crimes must be established. This includes by giving more power through law either to access and collecting
evidence for the purpose of prosecution. Thus, the mutual assistance between various agencies must be effectively
performed to cater the need for investigation.
