LEGAL ASPECTS OF

POLYGRAPHY EXAMINATION

• To date, the question of relevancy and admissibility of the

opinion evidence of the polygraph expert has not been discussed in the Malaysian courts.

• Nevertheless there is growing awareness of this field of 'lie-detector' as can be seen in the Singapore case of Eldon where the plaintiff lawyer argued that his client's testimony was unshakeable and that the plaintiff was willing to even undergo a polygraph test to prove his truthfulness.

• It is expected that more such applications on the relevance and admissibility of such evidence would be made in Malaysian courts.
