CRIMINAL ASSETS CONFISCATION ACT 2005 (NO 19 OF 2005) - SECT 145

145—Self-incrimination

        (1)         If a natural person is required to give information, answer a question or produce, or provide a copy of, a document under section 144 and the information, answer, document or record would tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty (including a penalty in the nature of a confiscation order under this Act), the person must nevertheless give the information, answer the question or produce, or provide a copy of, the document or record, but the information, answer, document or record will not be admissible in evidence against the person in proceedings for an offence (other than proceedings in respect of the making of a false or misleading statement or declaration).

        (2)         To avoid doubt, an answer given or document produced under section 144 is admissible in proceedings—

            (a)         on, or ancillary to, an application under this Act; or

            (b)         for enforcement of a confiscation order.
