64. Forfeiture order where person has absconded

Where a person is, by reason of section 63, treated as if he had been convicted of a serious offence, a court may make a forfeiture order under this Part if the court is satisfied—

98 Laws of Malaysia

on the evidence adduced before it that, on the balance of probabilities, the person has absconded; and

having regard to all the evidence before the court, that such evidence if unrebutted would warrant his conviction for the offence.
