The development of crime in society has increased public awareness and the need for effective criminal law enforcement. One of the most serious crimes is premeditated murder, as it directly concerns the most fundamental human right, the right to life, as guaranteed by Article 28A of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the differences in the regulation of premeditated murder between Indonesia and Singapore, which adhere to two distinct legal systems: civil law and common law. In Indonesia, premeditated murder is governed by Article 340 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), emphasizing elements of intent (dolus) and premeditation (voorbedachte raad). Meanwhile, in Singapore, it is regulated under Penal Code Act 224 Section 300, which classifies murder based on intention and awareness of the consequences of the act. Through a comparative and normative legal approach, this research finds that the main difference lies in how intent and premeditation are proven. Indonesia emphasizes the existence of a time gap and deliberate intent, whereas Singapore focuses on concrete evidence and legal precedents. The findings reveal that both legal systems share the same objective of upholding justice and protecting the right to life, although their legal foundations and interpretations differ. This study is expected to contribute to the development of Indonesia’s criminal law policy, making it more adaptive to global legal dynamics and the protection of human rights.
