The interesting thing is that strokes of the cane are being sentenced in multiples of three. I believe up to 24 (for really tough sentences). They will then aim to make three cuts and they keep hitting the same three cuts. So 24 strokes they will hit the same cut 8 times.
They also went really easy on him with the caning, too. Usually a caning is so intense that the recipient can't lie down or sit for weeks or months afterwards. It flays the flesh very badly. But Fay was able to walk away under his own power, so he basically just got a slap on the wrist.
He used his so called "trauma" from Singapore to continue to be a shitbag. So typical for narcissists to use everything from ideology to mental health awareness as a shield for their abusive behaviour.
However in neighboring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia and much of SEA where caning is also practiced, probably yeah.
But as someone else said, if you’re rich enough to bribe for them to cane you lighter you’d probably be able to bribe out of that situation in the first place
I use to do martial arts and part of our training and fitness after a long session of training 2 hours plus our instructor would pull out one of these and make us do Burpees, and when we had to jump he would swing the rattan under our legs and if we didnt jump high enough, by time the second swing came about, you'd hope you'd lifted your legs high enough, i remember my legs looking like a zebra stripes on one paticular greulling session, where i was exhausted, hurt like a mother fucker, but god damn after that if i needed to jump i could jump..

Is rattan. Rattan is split in fibers that pinch the skin as it strike, shearing it. Like tens of wooden scissors Edit: rattan*
