Have you heard that in far away, Singapore, a new law, has been passed that introduces mandatory caning for certain scam-related offences.
What the law covers
The law targets individuals convicted of committing or facilitating scams (especially “remote-communication” fraud) — this includes:
People who run or recruit for scam syndicates.
“Money mules” or those who provide bank accounts, SIM cards, digital IDs, etc. to facilitate the scam operations.
Under this law, offenders now face 6 to 24 strokes of the cane, depending on severity.
Those who assist (but perhaps in a lesser capacity) can face up to 12 strokes.
Important conditions & limitations
The caning penalty applies to male offenders under the age of 50 in this context.
Women, girls, and men above 50 are generally exempt from judicial caning under Singapore law.
Caning is not new in Singapore — it already exists for offences like rape, drug trafficking, and illegal money-lending. The law is simply expanding its use to include serious scam offences.
Why was this law introduced
Scams have become a major crime concern in Singapore: fraud via remote communication has grown. The government cited that scams constitute up to 60% of reported crimes in recent years.
Financial losses are substantial: e.g., billions of dollars lost since 2019 in these scam offences.
The move is aimed at enhancing deterrence and bringing greater legal consequences for high-culpability offences.
If someone in Singapore is convicted of a serious scam offence (especially operating or aiding a scam syndicate) and they meet the criteria (male, under 50, etc.), they can now face mandatory caning with 6-24 strokes as part of their sentence.
