My Comic About Being A Singaporean Is My Way Of Celebrating The National Day Of Singapore

He’s lost some fur lately! I hope he’s doing okay and it’s not a thyroid issue!!

Ah yes, because 1 to 3 light strokes with a cane as a last-resort punishment for serious offenses (like taking and sharing up-skirt photos and videos of their teachers) is so very terrible when children in America (just as a comparison) are beating up or shooting their teachers when said teachers are asking the students to NOT use their cellphones in class. Or, you know, on the flipside, students in America being shot in school. But totally, let's focus on caning, in a comic about a cartoon talking otter speaking to a cartoon talking merlion statue.

I don't know about you guys, but it makes a huge difference whether or not you get disciplined as a child. If caning is the only way, it is preferable to being permissive. That's what I see happening in places that ban caning. You can't remove something without putting something else in place. The system will collapse and where would the hard-won achievements go? Singapore was not built by people who had the luxury of talking about their feelings. maybe now there's room to change, but there is no point to condemn what brought them this far.
