What potential penalties does Section 427 of the Penal Code carry?

Question

Accepted Answer

Section 427 of the Penal Code carries penalties that were not stated in the reported case details

The reported case states that police are investigating under Section 427 of the Penal Code, but it does not provide the statutory punishment for that section. Because no maximum term of imprisonment, fine, or other penalty details were included, the potential penalties for Section 427 cannot be stated from the available information.
Police investigation is linked to Penal Code Section 427
Police said the investigation is being carried out under Section 427 of the Penal Code after a homeless Myanmar man allegedly threw bricks at a police vehicle outside a Jalan Hang Lekiu hotel in Kuala Lumpur. The same case report also notes the arrest time as 11.57 pm on Wednesday and that the suspect was remanded for three days from yesterday until tomorrow.
The case report does not list the statutory punishment for Section 427
The information provided identifies the legal basis as Section 427, but it does not include the section’s penalty range. There is no stated maximum imprisonment term, no fine amount, and no description of any additional punishment tied to Section 427 in the case details shown.
Another statute cited in the case is separate from Section 427
Alongside Section 427, police also cited Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for investigation. This matters because any penalties arising from the Immigration Act would be separate from whatever punishment Section 427 carries under the Penal Code.
To state “potential penalties”, the exact text of Section 427 is required
Answering what potential penalties Section 427 carries requires the statutory wording of the section, including its prescribed maximum term and whether fines or other orders are included. With only the case’s reference to Section 427 and without the legal text or penalty range, any specific penalty figures would go beyond what is supported here.
