16 Laws of Malaysia Act 792 Abetment 21. Any person who abets the commission of any offence punishable under this Act shall, if the act abetted is committed in consequence of the abetment, be punished with the punishment provided for the offence. Evidence of agent provocateur admissible 22. (1) Notwithstanding any law or rule of law to the contrary, in any proceedings against any person relating to any offence under this Act, or any offence specified in the Schedule where the victim is a child, no agent provocateur shall be presumed to be unworthy of credit by reason only of his having attempted to commit or to abet, or having abetted or having been engaged in a criminal conspiracy to commit, such offence if the main purpose of such attempt, abetment or engagement was to secure evidence against such person. (2) Notwithstanding any law or rule of law to the contrary, a conviction of any offence under this Act, or of any offence specified in the Schedule where the victim is a child, solely on the uncorroborated evidence of any agent provocateur shall not be illegal and no such conviction shall be set aside merely because the court which tried the case has failed to refer in the grounds of its judgment to the need to warn itself against the danger of convicting on such evidence. Offence by body corporate 23. If any offence under this Act, or any offence specified in the Schedule where the victim is a child has been committed by a body corporate, any person who at the time of the commission of the offence was a director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate, or was purporting to act in any such capacity, or was in any manner responsible for the management of any of the affairs of such body corporate, or was assisting in such management, shall also be guilty of that offence unless he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge, consent or connivance, and that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of the offence as he ought to have exercised, having regard to the nature of his functions in that capacity and to all the circumstances.
