They got lucky to just get kicked out of Singapore. The legal system in Singapore is extremely tough for any type crime at all. Even just eating or drinking in the Singapore Mass Transport system is a $500 fine, and smoke it is $1,000 fine.
“Singapore society is highly regulated through the criminalisation of many activities which are considered as fairly harmless in other countries. These include failing to flush toilets after use, littering, jaywalking, the possession of pornography, the sale of chewing gum, and, prior to December 2022, sexual activity such as oral and anal sex between men.Nonetheless, Singapore is one of the countries with the least crime in the world, with a low incidence of violent crimes.
Singapore retains both corporal punishment (in the form of caning) and capital punishment (by hanging) as punishments for serious offences. For some offences, most notably trafficking in drugs above a certain specified quantity, the imposition of these penalties is mandatory.”
They could have been Caned for this shoplifting crime.
They were lucky to just be tossed out of Singapore!
American Michael Fay was sentenced for 4 cane hits for vandalism!
In Singapore, caning is a mandatory punishment for foreigners who overstay by more than 90 days – a measure designed to deter illegal immigrants!
