Ratio: Had the facts been as Ah Chong believed them to be, he would have been justified in
killing the intruder under A11, par. 1, of the RPC, which requires, to justify the act, that there
be:
If the intruder was really a robber, forcing his way into the room of Ah Chong, there would have
been unlawful aggression on the part of the intruder. There would have been a necessity on the
part of Ah Chong to defend himself and/or his home. The knife would have been a reasonable
means to prevent or repel such aggression. And Ah Chong gave no provocation at all. Under
A11 of the RPC, there is nothing unlawful in the intention as well as in the act of the person
making the defense.
