The court has the power to order probation in Singapore. The Singapore courts, after finding a person guilty of an offence, can place an offender on probation instead of sentencing him or her. Having regard to all the relevant circumstances, including the nature of the offence and the character of the offender, the court may make a probation order requiring him or her to be under the supervision of a probation officer for a period to be specified in the order of not less than 6 months and more than 3 years.
Probation is Not a conviction if the conditions of probation such as time restriction etc. are fulfilled and the probation order is successfully completed without commission of a new offence.
