What is the age of minor in Singapore?

Question

Under the law in Singapore, what is a minor? What are the things minor cannot do? At what age of a person is not considered as a minor?

However, a person is considered as a child if his/her age is under 21 years old...
Then a minor is stated as below 18 years old.

Answer 1

18 years old just like in other countries.

Answer 2

Legal Age In Singapore

Answer 3

Singapore law defines a person below the age of 14 years as a 'child' and a person below the age of 16 years but over 14 years as a 'young person'. The Juvenile Courts usually assumes jurisdiction over such persons when they are prosecuted for crimes or are otherwise involved with the law. Ergo, one is considered to not be a minor once he/she turns 16 years old.

However, Singapore's age of suffrage is 21 years old. So one can argue that a person is a 'minor' until he/she reaches 21 years old.

Other examples include: Legal driving age (18 yrs old), Legal age to watch R21 rated movies (21 yrs old), Minimum age to be enlisted into National Service (16 years old), Legal age to smoke (18 yrs old).

In short, the definition of a 'minor' in Singapore would depend on what context you are referring to.
