You mean the place where you get thrown in prison then caned for tagging? Wow, I'd never want to visit that police state. Sounds like a lovely place.

EDIT: time spent in prison was off by 7 months

There is a law, it was broken and the person was sentenced. I'd rather live in a place that enforces laws rather than one where people run loose, but to each their own I suppose.

Yes I do not live there currently (as you have noticed by my previous comments) but that is where I consider myself "from".

To be clear, "tagging" is vandalism. Also, your source says 5 months, not the 1 year that you claimed.

In NYC we call that art. I just went to a museum exhibit in Boston about graffiti art on public transit in the 80's. Point being, something so benign being that strongly and violently punished does indeed sound crazy to me.

Sometimes. And sometimes it's shitty. And even more so, if you tag over someone else art you'll get more than a caning in NYC.

When I was last in Singapore, I was impressed by how clean it was. It's not crazy at all.

This is not that scary for folks not vandalizing stuff

Your links are also off by a decade or two.
