s 36 Requirement to provide translation
(1) Where an investigating officer finds, seizes, detains, or takes possession of any property, record, report or document which, wholly or partly, is in a language other than the national language or English language, or is in any sign or code, the investigating officer may, orally or in writing, require the person who had the possession, custody or control of the property, record, report or document to furnish to him a translation in the national language or English language within such period as he may specify. (2) No person shall knowingly furnish a translation under subsection (1) which is not an accurate, faithful and true translation of the document. (3) Any person who fails to comply with the requirement in subsection (1) or contravenes subsection (2) commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding one million ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both, and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit for each day during which the offence continues after conviction. (4) Where the person required to furnish a translation under subsection (1) is not the person who is suspected to have committed the offence, the competent authority or the relevant enforcement agency, as the case may be, may pay him reasonable fees and reimburse him for such reasonable expenses as he may have incurred in furnishing the translation.
