The principal Act and the Acts mentioned in sections 19 to 29, as in force immediately before the date of commencement of those sections, continue to apply to any proceeding commenced before the date of commencement of those sections, and those proceedings may be continued and everything in relation thereto may be done in all respects after that date as if this Act had not been enacted.

Despite sections 5 and 6, where a request for surrender is received before the date of commencement of those sections, by Singapore from a foreign State with which Singapore has an extradition treaty in force, any restriction on surrender not contained —

Any declaration made under section 19 of the principal Act as in force immediately before the date of commencement of section 6 continues to be in force as if it were made under section 6(1) of the principal Act as amended by this Act, until it is revoked.

For a period of 2 years after the date of commencement of any provision of this Act, the Minister may, by regulations, prescribe such additional provisions of a saving or transitional nature consequent on the enactment of that provision as the Minister may consider necessary or expedient.

For the purposes of this section, proceedings are commenced when a fugitive is brought before the Magistrate under section 11(1), 25(1) or 35(1) (as the case may be) of the principal Act as in force immediately before the date of commencement of this Act.
