'Living hell': Father who raped 3 daughters jailed more than 33 years, to be caned
SINGAPORE — A father of seven who sexually abused four daughters, raping three of them, and ill-treated a son was sentenced to 33 years, two months jail and 24 strokes of the cane on Friday (18 March).
This includes a seven-month jail term in lieu of 36 strokes of the cane, which cannot be imposed on the man as 24 strokes is the statutory maximum.

For those who feel 24 strokes with a cane is rather light:

Remember, this is in addition to the prison sentence.
I consider 1 cane too many.
Corporal punishment is fucked up, no matter how heinous the crime.
For a child rape? lol cane this piece of shit until he fucking dies.
Fuck the idea that any crime justifies the state enacting corporal punishment. If they can justify that it’s an acceptable punishment for anything they can justify it’s an acceptable punishment for anything
This is a prime example of the slippery slope fallacy. Using the same argument, you could claim that prison shouldn't be a thing because the state could abuse this power and imprison people for anything.
Fine. Let me do it, then
Good idea! That'll unrape them.
. . .You think caning them will do that?
I couldn't put any more sarcasm into my comment. I tried. It's bleedingly obvious that caning doesn't involved fucking time travel.
How do you know? Have you tried it?
They should fly in the best caner from anywhere in he world to do this guy. Put it on ppv and give the money to the girls for all the therapy they are gonna need.
Oh shut up. Maybe anybody would care to hear this if he had done something other than repeatedly rape his daughters, but....He should be caned and then shot shortly after.
Torture is fine if they're disgusting enough, that makes sense.
Personally I think all executions should be carried out humanely. You don't need to beat them, they don't need to fall down any stairs.
You have a cancer on society, and you excise it with speed and dignity.
Or you say the state has no right to execute anyone for anything, pick a moral stance and stick to it.
Otherwise you're just a sadist looking for an excuse. Something that will let you pretend you just don't want cause pain yourself, because that would make you the baddie, and that can't possibly be right.
I'm fine with being asked to do it. I'm not one of those people who doesn't butcher animals for meat himself, I've no real interest in causing pain, but that fucker deserves it.
Not in the head tho thats too quick an out for a monster like him.
Well I was thinking "shortly after" meant "when he's nearly healed from the beating"
Goodness.
This is torture.
Imegine being the person paid to do the caning.
The person doing the caning probably believes in their work. They probably train hard to cane the ever loving shit out of people.
For a child rapist? I'll do it for free
Dude would rather spend 7 months in jail than a second round of 12 more lashes.
That's how bad caning is.
Punishments fit social norms, and balanced against social morals, which evolve. Seems weird, to camlne, from west standards. But we punish in some ways that others seem unfit.
It seems a bit weird to punish raping your own daughters less severely than importing cannabis.
