PART IV - PROCEEDINGS IN PROSECUTIONS CHAPTER 14 - OF SENTENCES AND THE CARRYING OUT THEREOF
Section 125. Youthful offenders.
(1) When any youthful offender is convicted before any Court of any offence punishable by fine or imprisonment, such Court shall instead of awarding any term of imprisonment in default of payment of the fine or passing a sentence of imprisonment-
(a) order such offender to be discharged after due admonition if the Court shall think fit; or
(b) order such offender to be delivered to his parent or to his guardian or nearest adult relative or to such other persons as the Court shall determine, and the
Court shall designate on such parent, guardian, relative or other person to execute a bond with a surety, as the Court may require, that he will be responsible for the good behaviour of the offender for any period not exceeding twelve months, or without requiring any person to enter into any bond, make an order in respect of such
offender ordering him to be of good behaviour for any period not exceeding two years and containing any directions to such offender in the nature of the condition referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of section 127 which the Court shall think fit to give; or
(c) deal with such offender in the manner provided by the Juvenile Courts Act 1947.
(2) The Court before which a youthful offender is convicted may, in addition to or instead of punishing such offender in the manner provided in this section, inflict on his parent or guardian a fine not exceeding two hundred ringgit in any case in which such Court after summary enquiry, is satisfied that such parent or guardian has, by neglecting to take proper care or otherwise, conduced to the misconduct of such offender:
Provided that no parent or guardian shall be fined without his having had an opportunity of being heard and (if he desires it) of adducing evidence in his defence.
