[Alberta's Child]

There was a story in Singapore some years ago about a teenager who was arrested for vandalizing public property. It turned out he was the child of one of the top-ranking members of the country's government (maybe the VP or Deputy Prime Minister).

The punishment for his crime was a public flogging.

His father insisted on having it carried out on national television.

Damn right, you can't compare crime statistics in different countries. LOL.

Good dad. Good country for allowing good parenting.

Actually if it’s the one I am thinking of, the kid was a spoiled American and his daddy was a US corporate exec in Singapore. He was “keying” cars. If I remember this right he got the whacks but not the full number required for that vandalism crime. These weren’t “love taps”, they were administer by a trained guy.
