To be honest, I consider this piece really interesting because it discusses how Japan and Singapore are so different when it comes to punishing crimes—especially with something intense like caning. What catches your eye is how much people's views on what's fair punishment can change depending on where they're from.

It's unexpected to realize people in Japan actually wish for tougher punishments for bad crimes, based on how they react to all this information. One, if they so choose, may ponder over the part where it delves deep into the effects of caning, not only on your body but on your mind too.

Reading this makes you pause and wonder about how the ways we handle justice have to maybe change over time to really match up with what everyone thinks is right, and how serious the crime was. Reading this was both marvelous and gave me a lot to think about🤍
