Although I find it excessive for them to cane someone who also has to spend time in jail, is 4 lashes really that bad? I assume the rapist in the previous shots got more than 4 lashes. FOUR lashes and all that controversy, its not like caning was a big secret in Singapore. I think I would have told my teenage son to suck it up.
You don't mess around with Singapore.
You spit on the sidewalk, they fine you.
You get caught with drugs, they execute you.
But the trade-off is that it's a lovely city and is a great place for business. A bit sterile and the booze is overtaxed, but it may have one of the highest qualities of life in the world.
