In January this year, the Moneylenders Act was amended to deal with the loan shark menace. Tougher penalties include mandatory jail terms and possible caning even for first time offenders. Those who help loan sharks as runners or by harassing borrowers also face tougher punishment, including mandatory jail and possible caning. In this episode, watch how a repentant former debtor turned runner, shares with us his story.

Back in 1998, the XXW was a backyard wrestling organization in Colonial Heights Virginia. Despite the primitive ring (notice the yellow water hose ropes), the wrestling was pretty damn good. In this clip, Ryan Medeiros destroys Mad Max with a Singapore cane. A Singapore cane consists of a trimmed up stick of bamboo (about 1 1/2 in diameter) that is wrapped with tape in a few different spots to keep it from shattering (it doesn't help much as you will see).

Orchard Towers is also known as the Four Floors of Whores. My wife and I took a look to see if the rumors were true, and all I can say is I was shocked at how many there are and how obvious it was because the laws are generally so strict in this country. If you're not familiar with Singapore, it's a country that outlaws chewing gum and passes heavy fines and caning as part of the normal judiciary process. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, just that it conveys a certain sense of high standards in all things. There is legal prostitution in the US too though. So, whatever. This is just the outside. The inside was worse. How many hookers can you spot in this video? For more information about prostitution in Singapore and the post related to this video go here: bit.ly
Pro Wrestling Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Hitman, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer's older brother Thomas joined Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) since 1992, just before its name change to Extreme Championship Wrestling. In 1995, The Hitman, The Sandman, Sabu, Tommy Dreamer, and Thomas made their own stable name called, "The ECW Originals". Their first major gimmick in the company had them wrestling their matches in garish green suspenders and Thomas acting as something of a "pretty boy" at least in relation to the rest of the ECW roster. This gimmick got him soundly cheered by crowds, even when he became the first person in wrestling history to kick out of the pin that follows the Superfly Splash of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.[12] After Michael Fay was arrested in Singapore and sentenced to a caning, ECW head booker Paul Heyman decided to capitalize on the publicity by holding a Singapore Cane match between Dreamer and The Sandman with the loser having to take 10 lashes. After losing the match Dreamer took his lashes, then asked the Sandman for another, causing the crowd to feel sympathy for him as he took the extra, and another. This was a launching point to an angle that ended up blurring wrestlings "face" and "heel" divide, as well as start a new way of working the fans, especially the "smarks" fans with some amount of inside information. In a later match Dreamer kayfabe accidentally blinded the Sandman, first by knocking a lit cigarette into his eye, then hitting in the other ...

Malasian school children are still treated with little respect. Much like Singapore, these students are caned for relatively minor school rule violations. One small item, in 2007 Malaysia banned public caning. Many students say that it doesn't work. Most of the same students who commit infractions are caned over and over again.
