Just like Michael Fay back in '94, caning sentences have been meted out to foreigners who commit vandalism in Singapore — the two young Germans who trespassed into Bishan Depot last year to spray graffiti on an SMRT train have been sentenced to nine months in jail and three strokes of the cane each, TODAY reports.
22-year-old Andreas Von Knorres and 21-year-old Elton Hinz were convicted of unauthorised entry to the depot twice in November 2014, where they tagged a parked SMRT train.
They were arrested in Kuala Lumpur International Airport last year and have been in remand here since Nov 22. Their sentences have been backdated from that date.
