assault
.Section 321.
Voluntarily causing
hurt
.
Whoever does any act with the intention of thereby causing
hurt
to any person, or with the knowledge that he is
likely thereby to cause
hurt
to any person, and does thereby cause
hurt
to any person, is said “voluntarily to cause
hurt
”.Nither of these are seizable offence so if you're expecting PO to come an arrest him, they can't. Unless he continues to hit you infront of them, then they could arrest him for
Miscellaneous Offences Chapter 184 Section 13C
Fear or provocation of
violence
Any person who in a public place or in a private place —(a) uses towards another person threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour; or(b) distributes or displays to another person any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
with intent to cause that person to believe that immediate unlawful
violence
will be used against him or another person by any
person, or to provoke the immediate use of unlawful
violence
by that person or another person, or whereby that
person is likely to believe that such
violence
will be used or it is likely that such
violence
will be provoked shall be guilty of an offence
and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding
$2,000.However, its up to the discression of the PO if he is deemed to actually have the possibility of causing violence. Coz some people only wayang want to cause violence but in the end don't do anything.
Touch wood this step father won't do anything stupid... but if you do, you have this right:-
Penal Code Chapter 224 Section 97
Right of
private
defence
of the body and of property.
Every person has a right, subject to the restrictions contained in section 99, to defend —(a) his own body, and the body of any other person, against any offence affecting the human body;(b) the property, whether movable or immovable, of himself or of any other person, against any act which is an offence falling under the definition of theft, robbery, mischief or criminal trespass, or which is an attempt to commit theft, robbery, mischief or criminal trespass.

if say one day he really came to blows with me, then i report the case to police.
He gave his defence as “I told him not to come many times already but he never listen”
But the fact is i wanna accompany my gf for as long as i can.
Will I be at a disadvantage since the thing happened in the house he called his.

If he don't want you to go into his house, he has every right not to allow you into his house... The void deck infront of his house is technically HDB's but its quite a grey area... no pun attended

But still, its wrong to hit a minor , right?
under section Fear or provocation of violence Any person who in a public place or in a private place, doesnt it apply?
Fear of Provocation of violence only applies when the act when the violence or threat of violence is done infront of the PO...
If he hit you already, if its Voluntarily causing grievous hurt.
Penal Code Cap 224 Section 322. Whoever voluntarily causes hurt, if the hurt which he intends to cause or knows himself to be likely to cause is grievous hurt, and if the hurt which he causes is grievous hurt, is said “voluntarily to cause grievous hurt”.Sec 325. Whoever, except in the case provided for by section 335, voluntarily causes grievous hurt, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 10 years, and shall also be liable to fine or to caning.
The following kinds of hurt only are designated as “grievous”:
(a) emasculation;
(aa) death;
(b) permanent privation of the sight of either eye;
(c) permanent privation of the hearing of either ear;
(d) privation of any member or joint;
(e) destruction or permanent impairing of the powers of any member or joint;
(f) permanent disfiguration of the head or face;
(g) fracture or dislocation of a bone;
(h) any hurt which endangers life, or which causes the sufferer to be, during the space of 20 days, in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits;
(i) penetration of the vagina or anus, as the case may be, of a person without that person’s consent, which causes severe bodily pain.
VCGH is seizable... However if you are hurt but not in the grevious list, its just a common Voluntarily causing
hurt
,, which is non-seizable thus requires
you to take civil suit for police to take action. If you are
wondering why, normal hurt is subjective...I'm assuming you are not a Child, so if you are not a adult, you are considered a Young Person. I'm not very good with the CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT Chapter 38. But I've not heard anything about special treatment of VCH towards young persons. Children yes, but never heard anything about young persons.
