Question

## The Arms Act 1960 and its Application to the Sacrificial Cow Shooting Incident

Accepted Answer

The Perlis Menteri Besar, Abu Bakar Hamzah, is under investigation by authorities concerning the discharge of a firearm in a public place, as stipulated by Section 39 of the Arms Act 1960. This section of the Act addresses the act of firing a weapon in areas accessible to the public, with potential penalties including up to one year of imprisonment, a fine of RM2,000, or a combination of both upon conviction. While the Menteri Besar possesses a valid firearms licence for the shotgun in question, the investigation focuses on the circumstances under which the weapon was used during a korban programme in Kuala Perlis. The shotgun and nine buckshot cartridges have been seized by the police as part of this ongoing inquiry.
