What is flogging in Singapore?

Singapore is a flogging country. According to Singapore's laws, the court only sentenced criminals who committed crimes such as rape, serious injury, vandalism and touching sensitive parts of women to flogging.

Generally speaking, flogging is carried out by special forces in prisons. The execution whip is about 1 m long, the thick end is held by the prison guard, and the tip hits the prisoner's ass hard. When flogging, a doctor is present to check, and several senior officials will watch and take notes. When flogging, the prisoner's hands and feet were tied into "big characters" Every time a whip is hit, the doctor will go forward to check it until the prisoner's physical strength can't bear it. If the judge sentences the prisoner to 4 lashes, and the prisoner can't stand the third whip, the doctor will come forward to check. If the doctor thinks that the prisoner's physical condition is not suitable for further flogging at present, the remaining flogging will be reserved for the next time when it is proved acceptable. Under normal circumstances, no matter how strong a prisoner is, he will be overwhelmed by two or three lashes, and some people will even faint. After being whipped, the prisoner can't sit down for two or four weeks, and the doctor will check his physical condition regularly.

In Singapore, men and women over 50 and under 18 are not flogged.
