Wong Mimi v Public Prosecutor
[1971-1973] SLR(R) 412; [1972] 2 MLJ 75
Key Principle
For s 34 of the Penal Code to fix a secondary offender with constructive liability for murder, it is the common intention to do a criminal act that must be shown; once the criminal act actually committed is consistent with carrying out that common intention, every participant is liable for the offence (including murder) thereby committed, whether or not each intended the precise result.
