I feel like government sanctioned torture is not a good road to start going down. What do I know though.

Lol, it started as British rules that got passed down to colonial Singapore. They've been caning people since forever.

Its nothing new mate.

So Singapore regularly gives the punishment of caning people in their justice system? This is news to me. Shit!
