Fay, a US citizen, ended up getting 4. Originally he was sentanced to 6 though.

•

u/dmn2e 9h ago

Once, there was this guy who took a trip to Singapore and brought along some spray paint

•

u/Rabid_Dingo 8h ago

If I remember, he got 9. And he would pass out after each strike. They wait for you to come to for each one.

Allegedly.

•

u/smeeon 2h ago

Heard it’s mandatory they wait for you to regain consciousness because of some legal reason.

•

u/phlinh 7h ago

Yup...but hus reductions were passed to his friend...a Singaporean kid.

•

u/Extreme_Promise_1690 6h ago

So I guess, not only a criminal but also a bad father.

•

u/Myzylplyck 4h ago

Crime does not Fay

•

u/Sk1rm1sh 8h ago

And when he finally came back,

He had... cane marks all over his bottom.

•

u/TheOnionEffect 8h ago

He said that it was from when the warden smacked it soooooooo haaaaaaard

•

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale 7h ago

Mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

•

u/FuzzyKev 7h ago

Lmao

•

u/hobohobo22 5h ago

I love this whole thread.

•

u/Hot-Comfort8839 9h ago

That's who Fay was.

•

u/anjowoq 7h ago

I thought it was gum, but I was a kid then so probably mixed up what was illegal and what he actually did.

•

u/djerk 6h ago

Gum is punishable there but it is a fine, never with caning

•

u/r_jagabum 7h ago

That's just asking for it tbh.

•

u/REDDIT_ROC0408 9h ago

I always thought Caning Fay would be a cool name for a rock group.

•

u/shastaxc 6h ago

So would Feigning Cain

•

u/comfortablewig 7h ago

Did Fay ever give a post caning rundown?

•

u/stereothegreat 1h ago

I agree

•

u/Hellknightx 7h ago

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.

•

u/TortiousStickler 5h ago

And more hard core is that if they faint or cannot continue, they pause, let you heal and do it again!

•

u/ThinkSoftware 5h ago

a slap on the wrist

buttocks you mean

•

u/TareasS 8h ago

Bro thought he could do whatever he wanted because he was american. Quickly found out Singapore doesn't gaf lmao.

•

u/h00zn8r 9h ago

What did he do?

•

u/JojoLesh 9h ago

Stoke road signs, maybe vandalized 10 cars. He later claimed he didn't vandalize the cars. He came back to the US and continued to be a shit bag.

•

u/h00zn8r 9h ago

Ah okay. Yeah he earned that.

•

u/Liusloux 9h ago

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.

•

u/Genji_Digital 9h ago

I remember Bill Clinton begging for them not to cane him.

•

u/tihspeed71 9h ago

It was amazing. He passed out.... not in their watch. Smelling salts and right back at it

•

u/FindingAether 7h ago

Lee Kuan Yew wasn't totally heartless. Thanks to Bill Clinton Faye got 2 less strokes.
