Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
The Postmaster General may, with the approval of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan, prescribe a uniform dress to be worn by employees of the Department.
Where an officer of the Department vacates his office (whether by reason of dismissal, resignation, death or otherwise) he, or if he is dead his personal representative or the person acting as his personal representative, shall deliver to the Postmaster General, or any officer of the
Department authorised in that behalf by the Postmaster General, all articles
(whether uniform, equipment, furniture or any other things whatsoever)
which have been issued to the officer vacating his office for the execution of his duty and are not the property of that officer, and shall deliver the articles in good order and condition, fair wear and tear only excepted.
If any person fails to comply with the provisions of subsection (2), he is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of
$200, and he shall also be liable to pay such further sum not exceeding $500
as the court may determine to be the value of the articles not delivered, or, if
Post Office the articles have been delivered but not in good order and condition, of the damage done to the articles.
Any Magistrate may issue a warrant by virtue of which a police officer may search for and seize any articles not delivered as required by subsection (2), in the same manner as if they were stolen property and the warrant were a warrant to search for stolen property issued under section 61
of the Criminal Procedure Code (Chapter 7).
