Could post for us the incidences where singapore cops recieved any sort of serious repramand due to citizen complaints?
Define serious reprimand? Because of our extreme low crimes, our police deal more with neighbourhood squabbles, than murders or thefts, things like that. Most of the time, the police are dealing with childish issues. They will get a warning about being more polite when handling disputes.
As usual your story changes. You said that the cops could be repramanded by a complaint from a resident and now you want to dance and obfuscate with your usual bullshit.
Yet they can arrest you for the simple act of having chewing gum in your possession.
This gotta be the biggest lie, since I chew gum ALL the time infront of the police.
You may do that where you live but you do not do it in singapore
In 2004, international pressure from United States brought the change in the Singaporean law that reinstated the legal use of some small amounts of therapeutic dental chewing gums. Their use is heavily regulated and has to be purchased directly from dentist or doctor (if they fail to send your credentials to the government, then they can be jailed up to two years and fined $3,000).
Tourists that visit Singapore are allowed to bring chewing gum with them, but only maximum of two packs per person. Any more than that and they will be susceptible to be charged with "gum smuggling" which carries the penalty of one year in jail and $5,500 fine. People that are caught with leaving chewing gum remains in the public space can be charged with monetary fine, community work, or often - public beating with the bamboo stick.

I even offer them gum. No issues at all. It is not illegal to chew gum at all. We like our police here. And we bother them for the stupidest things. Like one time, I practically called the police, because a hawker store manager was giving me so much shit about me having my bubble tea from another store and I told the store manager to call the police if he had a problem, and the store manager did. The police came, and the police defended me against the store manager.
Well of course they did
The cainning penality for rape is 24 strokes the same as obstructing a railway engine or carriages, joining an "unlawful assembly",second offense of prostitution and non violent extortion. It is pretty easy to see how hard yall come down of rapist and child molesters.
This fellow here got 14 strokes (not the max of 24)for raping of a minor.
I don't know if you know how terrible one stroke is. From what I heard,
You question my knowledge while explaning your ignorance of the subject by noting the hear-say nature of your knowledge.
my granddad has many friends who got caned in prison before, and one stroke is enough to knock some people out by the immense pain of it, so even 14 strokes will be spread out in weeks to execute.
Once again your posting bullshit. Where does it say in the penal code that the strokes may be spread out over several weeks? You claim that yall are tough on rape and child molesters but I have shown from public records that that is not so. The law says that rape is no more serious than than non violent extortion because they both carry the same legal parameters of punishment. We have seen where an adult was convicted of rape of a minor and did not recieve the maximum caining penality.
Anyway, I see no problem with caning for most of the crimes, but I do know that I can't remember the last time caning was executed for anything but rape and molest. When recently some European people came and vandalise our public trains to brag that he graffiti on it to social media, he got caned and we all felt he deserved it .
Perhaps if you actually lived in singapore you would know this:
Statistics
In 1993, the number of caning sentences ordered by the courts was 3,244.[9]
By 2007, this figure had doubled to 6,404, of which about 95% were actually implemented.[10] Since 2007, the number of caning sentences has experienced an overall decline, reaching just 2,500 in 2012.
2500 per year is about fifty a week...it would seem a resident of singapore would have noticed.
But I think 100% of our people are happy with caning.
Since your post seems to mitigate against you being from singapore just where do these 100% live?
That is certainly not something we want to disappear from our justice system because what's there to be afraid of? You don't commit the crime, you don't get caned. Simple.
Except that the fact that it happens 2500 times a year seems to indicate it does not work all that well, now does it sweetie.?
I don't know if you know how terrible one stroke is. From what I heard, .... I've been publicly caned even when I was 8. So yea, whatever!
Make up your mind. Is it a horrible punishment or one that an 8 year old girl laughs at?
