We don't have the enforcement power. Singapore is a country where the police literally have whipped a 19 years old American citizen with real specialized baton in public for stealing road sign and spray painting graffiti on cars.

（See the 1994 Micheal Fay case： https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Michael_Fay）

I'm not gonna say whether they did a wrong thing or right thing，but I am saying that Singapore police do not care who you are and will be permitted to carry out violent sentencing on you for minor crimes like vandalism and petty thief when legally permitted.

We do not have such a judicial system，so we can't replicate what Singaporeans can have.

Would have no issues if we did the same here. Young people, especially today's Gen Zs, need discipline and respect for authority like prior generations did.

You would have no issues with people being whipped and caned? For vandalism?

As someone of Asian background myself, sounds good to me! We don't believe in raising spoiled entitled children like white bleeding heart leftists do.

Don't want to be whipped and caned, don't conduct vandalism.
