Chapter 6060: Making a Phone Call

?

Lee Kuan Yew was completely shocked by Lin Feng's actions.

Kidnapping! This is a very serious crime in a civilized society. As long as it is a society that pays attention to human rights, kidnapping is a felony. Because you restrict the personal freedom of others.

The so-called natural human rights! Everyone's personal freedom is the most basic legal right, and no one has the right to deprive it. In Western society, the punishment for kidnapping is extremely harsh.

In this campus kidnapping case that just happened in the United States, the main offender was sentenced to 6-13 years. This is because they are students and have reached a plea agreement. The punishment was lighter, and the minimum sentence is still more than 5 years! Moreover, this is because the lawyer is powerful enough! Otherwise, life imprisonment is very normal.

As for Singapore, the crime of kidnapping is even more serious. As long as it is subjectively malicious or premeditated, it will be directly sentenced to death or life imprisonment. In Singapore, kidnapping is definitely a felony.

If sentenced to life imprisonment, if the prisoner wants to get out of prison, it can be negotiated. That is to change life imprisonment to caning. As for caning, the final number of canes is determined by the judge according to the sentence.

Of course, the maximum number of canings in Singapore is only 24! No matter how many years you are sentenced, the maximum is 24! As long as you have been caned 24 times, you can be released from prison. Because your body has been punished.

This sounds good, 24 canings in exchange for life imprisonment seems to be a good deal. But in fact, it is very uneconomical. So far, no one has been able to survive 24 canings! In particular, this caning in lieu of a sentence is a one-time execution. That is, you must survive 24 canings at once! If you can't survive, what should you do? The judge will re-determine your sentence and caning. For serious crimes, caning is necessary, but you can choose the amount of caning. The remaining shortfall is replaced by the sentence.

Of course. The Singapore authorities usually hope that prisoners choose caning because it is far more effective than imprisonment. It will allow prisoners to learn a deeper lesson about their crimes.

The cane is 1.2 meters long and 1.3 centimeters thick. Before the execution, the whip will be soaked in clean water overnight to fully absorb water and enhance flexibility. The prison department said that this is because dry whips may break during execution, and once they break, the thorns on the cane will pierce the prisoner's flesh. Of course, every execution will be wiped with disinfectant.

The whipping requires that the skin and flesh will be torn apart with one whip. The pain is unbearable. After one whip, the doctor will check and stop if he finds that the prisoner cannot withstand the next whipping. The whipping room is very spacious, with a high ceiling and a shiny floor. At the end of the room there is a row of tables, behind which prison officials sit to supervise the execution. At the other end of the room stands the whipping rack. The whipping rack is 2.74 meters high and made of wood, which is quite sturdy.

There is a wooden base under the rack for the prisoner to stand on. The prisoner will be tied to the rack naked, and

two prison guards will serve on both sides. During the whipping, only prison officers, jailers and medical staff can be present.

As for the executioners, they have all received special training. They are all burly. The muscles are knotted, some are fighting or martial arts masters, and their ranks are quite high. According to official news from Singapore, they did not make special requirements for fighting ranks when selecting execution guards, but the prison guards who carry out caning are specially trained. The prison guards know how to cause the maximum pain to the prisoners while causing the least permanent damage. Caning requires the executioner to use all his strength for each caning, regardless of the age of the prisoner or the severity of the crime. When caning. The executioner usually uses the weight of the whole body, not just the arm strength. He holds the whip tightly. Swing his arms in a circle, and use his feet as a fulcrum to turn half a circle. He strikes hard.

The first whip, a crisp "snap", will leave a deep purple whip mark on the buttocks. The second whip, a "snap", will cause the overlapping parts of the buttocks to tear apart. The third whip, a loud "snap", will cause the buttocks to be completely beaten to pieces, with blood flowing. The fourth whip, a "bang", is the most heartbreaking whip: the buttocks are beaten to pieces, and the circle next to the broken part is purple, bleeding, and the skin is torn apart. If you touch it, you will feel the feeling of being beaten 1,000 times by a belt.

Every time the whip is hit, the prisoner will suffer the most painful physical torture. Although it will not cause permanent damage to your body, the damage to the depths of your heart is inevitable. Many prisoners, after trying it once, would rather go to jail than endure whipping to offset the sentence.

Because it is too painful! The whole person is not well. The most frightening thing about Singapore is that caning is no longer just for serious criminals. For example, for crimes such as street graffiti and carrying daggers, which are at most verbal warnings and administrative detention in China, they will also be sentenced to caning in Singapore, and once sentenced, at least three canings.

Usually, it will be difficult for you to recover within half a year after being caned, and this is only physical, and the mental trauma is another matter. As far as Singapore is concerned, almost all prisoners would rather extend their sentences than be caned.

This is also the reason for friction between Singapore and some Western developed countries. Because, in Western democratic societies, caning is too inhumane. However, from Singapore itself, caning has effectively curbed the desire of the people to commit crimes.

Especially to a certain extent, the quality of Easterners is generally not high due to the feudal ideology that has been entrenched for thousands of years. Without severe punishment, it is difficult to ensure social security. In particular, when Singapore was first founded, it was in chaos, and the entire country was in constant panic. Caning allowed Singapore to become a civilized and developed country in just a few decades. This is undeniable.

Although it is said that law-abiding Singaporeans, once they leave Singapore, they will become uncivilized and even uncivilized like people from other countries. Singapore as a whole relies entirely on strict laws to ensure civilization. It's very mechanical, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Because people really need to be restrained! Without restraint, it would be terrible!

But at this moment, based on what Lin Feng did, even if he was not punished by death, he would definitely not be able to escape with 24 lashes! This is too much! This is definitely a severe sentence, second only to murder.

At this moment, President Badawi struggled to get out of the sack, cursing, but when he saw Lin Feng, he suddenly did not dare to say anything. One sentence: If I am the President of Malaysia, I am still holding it in my stomach.

"President Badawi, tell me what happened!" Lin Feng smiled.

President Badawi's face was blue and black, and his whole body was trembling slightly. He never expected that Lin Feng would be kidnapped. At this time, he was a slave to others.

"Lee Kuan Yew! Why are you here! Did you plan all this?" Badawi suddenly saw Lee Kuan Yew and became furious.

The hatred between Malaysia and Singapore is as deep as the ocean. Badawi was naturally furious about Lee Kuan Yew's appearance here. He said that all of this was blamed on Lee Kuan Yew.

Lee Kuan Yew was also in a bad mood. If Malaysia really puts all the blame on Singapore, then Singapore will be in trouble. If Singapore were not a port city, it would be completely China. Once the hostility between the two sides rises again and triggers a war between the two sides, Singapore will be in trouble. This is a fatal blow to prosperous Singapore.

But how to explain? Lee Kuan Yew doesn’t know either! This cannot be explained! He couldn't make President Badawi believe that it was just a coincidence that he was on Lin Feng's "Wind God". He had absolutely no knowledge of Badawi's kidnapping!

Badawi won’t believe it! Therefore, he simply kept silent. Between offending Badawi and making friends with Lin Feng, he would naturally choose the latter. Especially, he knew that Lin Feng would never treat his own people badly. He believes in repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with kindness!

Lee Kuan Yew's silence really hit Lam Feng's weakness. If Lee Kuan Yew argued here, it would make Lin Feng look down on him. Lin Feng would not bother to make friends with such a person because he could not see the situation clearly.

But Lee Kuan Yew's silence proved that he was a person worth getting to know. He not only had great wisdom, but also had great courage, and his choices at critical moments were very correct.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Badawi, please don't anger Li Zizheng. He is here actually for the good of Malaysia. He hopes that I can leave the Strait of Malacca quickly and not continue to block the Strait of Malacca, causing shipping congestion and affecting the economies of various countries!" Lin Feng explained with a smile. , "You are wrongly blaming a good person!"

Lee Kuan Yew breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his bet was right, Lin Feng was a reciprocal person. This kind of person is worth getting to know deeply.

As a politician, of course the first principle is: there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. But at the same time, everyone needs friends, or in other words, politicians don’t need friends, but they need allies.

And people like Lin Feng are undoubtedly the most suitable allies. If you choose him as your ally, you will feel at ease.

Badawi glared at Lee Kuan Yew bitterly, turned his head and looked at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you'd better let me go back! Otherwise, you will have committed the crime of kidnapping, and the law will not spare you!" Badawi threatened with a serious expression.

Lin Feng shrugged.

"Badawi, tell me, which country's law will punish me? Malaysian law? Believe it or not, I tell them now that you are in my hands and they won't dare to save you!" Lin Feng waved his folding fan lightly. , with a face full of ridicule, "Or are you talking about American law? The Americans' Pacific Seventh Fleet is in Manila. I'll give you three minutes to call Lieutenant General Buscock and ask him to rescue you!"

Lin Feng threw a phone to Badawi.

"The first one is Lieutenant General Buscock's number. Call it!" Lin Feng ordered.

Badawi put his hand on the phone, with a confused look on his face. Lin Feng is trying to conquer his army!

To fight or not to fight?
