Two Germans have been sentenced to three strokes of a rattan cane in Singapore for vandalizing a public train carriage.
A rattan cane is twice the one used by the military in Singapore. The cane is soaked in water in the night to prevent it from splitting.It is 1.27cm in diameters.
Andreas Von Knorre 22years old and Elton Hinz 21years old entered a Singapore train depot at night in November and sprayed paint on a train that was parked there. Afterwards, they left Singapore but were later spotted by Police in Bangkoko and eventually arrested in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were extradited back to Singapore.
The train operator suffered roughly 13,650 Singapore dollars for damages from the accident.
They were however jailed for nine months in addition to 3 strokes of the rattan Cain.
Should this kind of law be used in Nigeria for mostly oil Vandalism offenses?
