Assault and Personal Injury with Dangerous Weapon

Assault cases especially those involving weapons or serious bodily harm are treated seriously under Malaysian criminal law. Convictions may lead to severe penalties. If you are accused of causing injury or using a dangerous weapon, it is critical to obtain legal advice immediately.

Low & Partners defend clients facing charges under:

Voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt
Assault with a dangerous weapon
Group assaults
Self-defence claims and provocation scenarios

We analyse the full context of the incident including whether it was an act of self-defence, mutual confrontation, or a false allegation and challenge inconsistencies in witness statements, forensic evidence, and police procedures.

The common charges in Malaysia include:

Section 356 of the Penal Code, which may result in fine OR imprisonment may extend to 2 years OR whipping OR any two of such punishments.
Section 357 of the Penal Code, which shall be punished with imprisonment extend to 1 year OR fine extend to RM2,000 OR both.
