s 54 Other saving and transitional provisions
54.—(1) Despite section 50(8), any offence allegedly committed before the date of the commencement of that provision and which is, immediately before that date, prescribed as a compoundable offence for the purposes of section 22 of the Singapore Totalisator Board Act 1987, may continue to be compounded as if section 22 of that Act had not been repealed by section 50(8). (2) For a period of 2 years after the date of commencement of section 50, the Minister charged with the responsibility for finance may, by regulations, prescribe such additional provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of that provision as that Minister may consider necessary or expedient. (3) For a period of 2 years after the date of commencement of any other provision of this Act, the Minister may, by regulations, prescribe such additional provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of that provision as the Minister may consider necessary or expedient. (4) To avoid doubt, nothing in or done under this Part prejudices section 16 of the Interpretation Act 1965.
