Thread: 2 Germans caned and jailed in Singapore for vandalism.

Yes, but Tel said it's a very safe city, eh?

I was referring to

"Further more regards Singapore, normal people going about their everyday business have nothing to fear from the Authorities.

A perfect example of do no wrong have no fear."

I realise, I was having a pop at Terry, not you.

Singapore is a model city for law and order.

Its a Nanny state like Australia the difference being they mean business when enforcing the Law and Australia is weak as piss.

In Australia these two turds would off been fined a few hundred bucks and been back painting trains 5 minutes later.

Your simplistic notion of life generally, and in Asia specifically, really must stop.

Terence, you are a mature man, in physical terms, and it is high time your brain caught up with the rest of you.

Singapore is an autocratic state which brooks no challenge. The law is what someone else in authority wants it to be and is not dictated by an independent judiciary.

Now, if you think the laws that are published are applied to all, equally, in Singapore then you are an idiot.

Essentially, it is a benign dictatorship where personal freedoms are imposed and not expressed individually.

Think of an open prison with weekend licences and you'll get the idea. Certainly, artistic freedom and freedom of the press is highly regulated.

Your little nostrum is childishly simplistic and presupposes only the guilty are charged.. "Do as we tell you and you will be fine" is the order of the day but the definition of wrongdoing and your guilt will have little to do with evidence and a fair trial - that might introduce an element of chance and the little men of Singapore don't leave anything to chance lest they lose total control.

Should introduce the same punishment in Australia,

What a pair of turkeys

Australia is pathetic, criminals bash people, break into houses and run amock whilst the graffiti artists paint new busses and trains, scratch the windows and get a smack on the wrist.

Singapore does not fuk around, Australia should do the same.

I agree 100% Terry.

Excuse me, but who invented that bloody word simplistic, this stupid way of looking at things is why Australia is becoming a shit hole.

A simplistic proposition, at best.

I like the American approach better than that of Singapore or Australia; if someone breaks into your home you can kill them, legally and with no chance of civil liability in most states. And Yes, we have guns. Rob a home go to hell.

3 countries involved in capturing 2 graffiti artists? I'm amazed.

Farangs arrogantly flaunting Asian laws, high on the list of people to be apprehended by Asian police forces.

Local killers of Westerners, not so much.
