Under new guidelines caning will only be used as a punishment for male students aged nine and above as a ‘last resort’

    Singapore really still running that centuries-old, disproven by behavioral-science “the floggings will continue until morale improves” approach.

    Thank God! I am sure this will be used fairly.

    I remember when I was in school that the schools always punished the bully instead of the bullied person who reacted.

    Every time I hear about Singapore it sounds awful.
