Malaysian Corporal Punishment - Caning

This is pretty harsh, it shows you that caning is actually really bad.

Especially 20 lashes.

He tries to a tough buy, but starts wailing after 3-4 strikes, especially when they start landing on top of each other.

Looks seriously painful.

There's an interesting article on Wiki about Caning in Singapore, nothing similar for Malaysia though.

You better make sure you rob people before 7pm aye..

Robbery: At least six strokes. If committed after 7 p.m. and before 7 a.m: At least twelve strokes

What do you think of corporal punishment, is it a really effective deterrent?

It certainly sounds painful as described by New Zealander Aaron Cohen's, he got six strokes in 1982 for drug-trafficking.

It's just incredible pain. More like a burning - like someone sticking an iron on your bum. That's the sort of feeling. Pain - just ultimate pain,'' he said. ‘‘The strokes come at a rate of one a minute - but it seemed like a lifetime to me. I waited and waited for the first one and as soon as I let my breath out - ‘baam'. Afterwards my bum looked like a side of beef.
