Westbury: Discipline and bare-bottom canings

Product Information

Harun, then 26 years old, was found guilty in 1974 of a reduced charge of robbery by night and sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane, while the other accomplice Mohamed Yasin bin Hussin was sentenced to death for murder. I like the sound as the birch whistles through the air, although the 'crack' as contact is made on bare flesh is not as distinct as the cane because not all switches land at exactly the same time and some get in the way of others. The cane is soaked in water overnight to make it supple and prevent it from splitting and embedding splinters in the wounds. For instance, the Dangerous Fireworks Act states that caning is mandatory for a manager or owner of a company which imports, delivers or sells dangerous fireworks. It served me well, and although many tried, nobody ever escaped its embrace until they had received their punishment in full.

Since he was a certified courier, Dominic was sentenced to life imprisonment and 15 strokes of the cane. I quickly learnt to adjust my grip to orientate the birch to allow as many switches to make contact as possible. The victim's mother was similarly sentenced to 36 years in prison but she was spared the cane because women cannot be caned. Obviously, all punishments entered in the punishment book must be carried out in full, on the bare bottom and with appropriate severity.The importation of chewing gum is subject only to fines; it is not and has never been an offence punishable by caning. A report by the Singapore Bar Association stated, "The blows are applied with the full force of the jailer's arm. Ng Theng Shuang, a Malaysian gunman found guilty of robbing a woman of her station-wagon while using a firearm.

I also love the sound of rattan and leather biting into bare flesh – that sharp 'CRACK' that confirms you have got it right. Kraisak and one of his accomplices Pracha Thanomnin were both arrested months later and charged with murder, while the remaining two attackers - only nicknamed "Wan" and "Dorn" - remains at large for the killing. Then I whip the towels away so the caning can proceed at maximum severity right from the first stroke on the bare. Harun bin Ripin, one of the two robbers charged with the robbery and murder of 58-year-old Poon Sai Im, a widow who lived on Pulau Ubin. Cheong Chun Yin, a 24-year-old Malaysian and a convicted drug trafficker who imported more than 2700 grams of heroin from Myanmar into Singapore on 16 June 2008.Ng therefore was not caned despite the sentence for robbery since death row convicts were prohibited from getting caning under the law. The caning started as soon as Big Ben began its chime sequence and continued, hard and briskly, until the twelfth 'dong'.

During the caning, if the medical officer certifies that the offender is not in a fit state of health to undergo the rest of the punishment, the caning must be stopped. However, I often inject an element of fun into my thrashings, and it's nice to sometimes take things a little less seriously. After a serious thrashing, Robert will often hold a bag of frozen peas against his bottom for a few moments to help reduce the swelling and cool his burning bottom cheeks.It was quite large and heavy, but the top padded area lifted off, allowing the frame to be folded flat. Pang herself also had her sentence reduced to life due to depression but was not caned due to her being a female. Tan was paid by a business rival of Nurdin to attack him over a business dispute, and therefore, Tan hired another man, a Malaysian named Loh Yoon Seong, and they both slashed and stabbed Nurdin to death inside a hotel. Subsequent legislation has been passed by the Parliament of Singapore over the years to increase the minimum strokes an offender receives, and the number of crimes that may be punished with caning.
