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.
