“Singapore this week passed a law allowing for the caning of those involved in scamming, its latest attempt to combat a runaway surge in online fraud of all kinds. Under the measure, which was passed by Parliament on Tuesday, scammers and members or recruiters of scam syndicates will face mandatory caning of at least six strokes, the Straits Times reported. Depending on the severity of the offense, the punishment that can be increased up to the legal limit of 24 strokes. Scam mules who enable scammers will face discretionary caning of up to 12 strokes, the Times added.” (11/06/25)
