Abstract
This comment reviews the new “two-stage framework” developed by the Singapore Court of Appeal in the case of Han Fang Guan v Public Prosecutor for impossible attempts under the Misuse of Drugs Act. The new framework clarifies the law and it is suggested that the approach should be adopted for all other criminal laws as well.
