DEFINITION

Noun

A judicial official whose duty is to appear in court as a public prosecutor to prosecute the defendant, or conduct appeals.

由来
  • 英语 “prosecutor” 的意译。
  • 新加坡的主控官为国家公务员，在检察司的授权下，一般由副检察司担任。
  • 主控官代表检察司，执行与刑事案件有关的检察及其他职责。这些职责包括出庭上诉、提出任何与财产有关的要求或申请、授权警方进行调查等。
  • 新加坡的刑事诉讼主要分公诉 (public prosecution) 和自诉 (private prosecution) 两种形式。对于较轻的犯罪行为，可由被害人向初级法院 (Subordinate Courts) 的推事庭 (Magistrates' Courts) 提起诉讼，称为自诉。而其他较为严重的犯罪行为，则是由控方向法庭提起诉讼，称为公诉。
  • 在新加坡，一些简单的刑事案件不必通过总检察署控上法庭，从而提高了办案的效率和速度。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “主控官” is a paraphrase of the English “prosecutor”.
  • A prosecutor is a civil servant who the Public Prosecutor has authorised. The position is usually assumed by Deputy Public Prosecutors.
  • A prosecutor represents the public prosecutor and performs prosecutions related to criminal cases and other duties. These duties include appearing in court to conduct appeals, making property-related requests or applications, and authorising the police to conduct investigations.
  • Criminal proceedings in Singapore are mainly divided into two types: public prosecution and private prosecution. For minor crimes, the victim can file a lawsuit with the Magistrates’ Courts of the Subordinate Courts. This is known as a private prosecution. For more serious crimes, the prosecutor brings a lawsuit to court, which is called a public prosecution.
  • In Singapore, some simple criminal cases do not have to be prosecuted to court through the Attorney-General’s Chambers, thus improving the efficiency and speed of handling cases. 
例句
主控官的法律文件，与一般机构受询时需要经多层主管批阅的回复不同，前者是已经提交公堂并无需进一步斟酌、也不必交由公关润饰的资料。（《联合早 报》，16/07/2017）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
Unlike the replies of regular agencies that require multiple layers of approval by the management before they can be issued, a prosecutor’s legal documents have already been submitted to the court, and do not require further deliberations or amendments by public relations personnel. (Lianhe Zaobao, 16/07/2017)
