Rujukan-rujukan saya semasa membuat laporan polis di Sentul

Rujukan-rujukan saya:

Section 499. Defamation.Whoever, by words either spoken or intended to be read or by signs, or by visible representations, makes or publishes any imputation concerning any person, intending to harm, or knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm the reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter excepted, to defame that person.
