You can argue self-defense?
I know if you do it in self-defence they won't charge you with anything... i THINK

well,my advice is that you have to be careful when in malaysia.
even if you beat the guy out of self defence,the cops over there might claim that you started it..why? cause you are singaporean...
so whatever you do,just protect yourself and if you have to retaliate,do it then get the hell out of there
Strength,Determination,Merciless..Forever!

Hmm, I have a friend. And her dad tried to rape her and she retaliate by peircing a scissors into him (I didn't ask where).
She did not get charged, although her dad was sent to the hospital.
And she said something like you must have an eyewitness to support your report/claim that someone actually tried to hurt you.
And also, if she stabbed him multiple times, she would get charged.
She just stabbed him once, to like immobilise him, so i guess that's why they let her off

This is what our Penal Code says about the right of self defence. Basically, the right to self defence is a full defence, meaning you will not be criminally liable at all (sections 96 and 97). There must also be a reasonable apprehension of danger, and the defence must not have exceeded what was necessary (s. 99). Further, if there is a reasonable apprehension of death or grievous hurt, the right of self defence extends to killing the assailant (s. 100). However, if in exercising the right of self defence you kill your assailant when it was unnecessary to do so, you will be criminally liable, though not for murder (section 300, exception 2). You will still get life imprisonment (in Singapore) or max 30 years imprisonment (in Malaysia) but not the death penalty.

Well, he deserves to. I mean, who wants to rape their own daughter? That's sick on many different levels.
