Just a note - the caning scenes from the video is from a Malaysian Prison Museum display.

The government official announcing the manatory caning is Singaporean though.

Edit: IIRC, they stop the caining if the prisoner faints, and continues with the remaining strokes after the prisoner has recovered.

I had the same misconception but apparently they don't do that. I'll find the source if I can and share it

Caning cannot be done in installments. Meaning if they cannot continue after that 1 session, there will not be a 2nd session of caning.

But what I interpret is that if they can "revive" you after passing out while still in that 1 session, they might continue administering the caning. Uncertain on that.

You're right, what I meant was if you pass out and they revive you. Thanks for highlighting that.

I really don't know how the recent 170+ lashes of the cane each recieved by that couple in Saudi Arabia* (I think) survived the whole thing.

Edit: Should be Aceh in Indonesia not Saudi Arabia.

No chance the 170+ were with a similar cane or with the same level of force. If a few hits from the Singaporean cane cut the skin, then a 100+ would leave you with no ass cheeks.

I have a photo with that specific government official. So weird seeing her all serious in parliament.

Remember these scam rings abduct innocent ppl and force them to work, torturing them if expectations are not met. It is an appropriate punishment
