It’s odd they show the video of somebody doing the caning when it’s by machine now so the speed/strength is standardized.

I remember back in the 90s there was a huge uproar over a US citizen, Michael Fay, getting caned for vandalism.
He was told if he pled guilty he would be punished neither but not caned. He still claimed his innocence and said he only pled guilty to avoid caning.
In the end he got 4 lashings instead of 6.

Indian police does this by default 😬

The video doesn’t do it justice.
Singaporean canes are 1cm thick, flesh literally flies off with each strike of the cane. The pain is extremely debilitating for weeks and even months after the event. It is excruciating to the point that the punished cannot sit or even lie down for weeks after.
They have a mechanism that forces the glute muscles to tighten/flex before the strike so it inflicts maximum damage.

Idk why but read that as canning. I was like being put in a can is kind of brutal but fair.

Thing is, those scam centers make a lot of $$$. Caning will not help without a loooong prison sentence on top.

Caneing can be so brutal that people commit suicide rather than deal with the pain.

These guys get better training to whip ass than American law enforcement does in total.
There was a caning of an American tourist back in 1994. An American teenager named Michael Fay was sentenced to caning for vandalism. Specifically theft and spray-painting/egging cars under Singapore’s Vandalism Act.
His original sentence was six strokes of the cane, later reduced to four after diplomatic pressure from the United States. The caning was carried out in May 1994 and generated a huge international media controversy at the time

Medieval. Besides people pay good money for that in Germany.

There’s a caning pillow? Couldn’t they just…not cane as hard?

I’ve been to Singapore. It was the most incredible Twilight Zone experience of my life.
I didn’t notice at first, but it suddenly occurred to me that there wasn’t any trash. Any. Anywhere. Not one cigarette butt, not one spat out piece of gum flattened on the sidewalks. No candy wrappers blowing around.
Once you notice it you begin searching for it, but never find it.
We were briefed about not littering (US Navy) and that the punishment was severe. We were told that not flushing a public toilet or urinal would result in arrest, a $100 fine and your picture in the newspaper.
They take it very seriously.

There was an incident in the 90s with an American kid who got caught vandalizing or littering or something after repeated warnings or fines iirc.
He was sentenced to 6 lashes or something & Bill Clinton tried to intervene but only managed to reduce the number of lashes.

I once saw a video of a caning in Singapore. Those “canes” are very whip-like and break the skin.

To be clear, they won’t be caning rich people who scam people all the time.

I mean, TBF they also do caning for spitting gum on the sidewalk, so this is right in line with their other policies.

Wonderful
I saw Americans using Singapore as a tax haven for the money they got scamming people…. Are they gonna caning them or something?
harder daddy
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sri Lanka would have to construct several new cane factories if they were to implement the same punishment.
Legalized spankings
Reminds me of the game I used to play during recess called “Red Ass” except with a tennis ball. The whipping form is practically identical lmao
Scammers really speedran the find out phase. Singapore does not mess around, and honestly fewer robocalls sounds kinda nice.
What’s the pay for professional spankers?
Pax! Reaper’s gotta job for you!
Incentivizing scamming?? Strange approach
