FORMAL vs INFORMAL PLEA BARGAINING (RUNDINGAN HUKUMAN ) IN MALAYSIAN CRIMINAL LAW

“The DPP cannot avoid discussing terms. It is the only method where the Accused can compel the DPP to come to the negotiation table to discuss terms of settlement. Therefore, the codified method is useful in situations where the Accused had sent a representation offering to plea bargain, but there has been no decision for months on end.”
