British man to Makan 24 lashes of Rotan in Changi Hilton for drug offences. Guess the race? No, not AMDK!

Where is this guy when he's needed?

Details of Yuen’s plight are outlined in his handwritten appeal submission, in which he asked for a reduced sentence of eight and a half years and 15 strokes of the cane.
Human rights groups say caning in Singapore constitutes torture
Human rights groups say caning in Singapore is a violation of international law and breaches the United Nations Convention Against Torture.
They insist that although Singapore has not ratified the convention, the prohibition on torture and cruel inhuman treatment is universal, called a ‘jus cogens’ norm, which means no domestic law can contradict it.
In 2015, the International Commission of Jurists, a human rights group, condemned the Singapore Court of Appeal for declining to say caning was unlawful.
The court also said caning did not ‘breach the high threshold of severity and brutality that is required for it to be regarded as torture’.
Caning in Singapore is mandatory in dozens of offences including attempted murder and rape. Only medically fit men aged 16 to 50 are caned.
Offenders sentenced to death are not caned.
A former top club DJ in Singapore, his offences include two counts of ‘repeat drug trafficking’ – one of 69g and one of 60g of cannabis. Another offence included drug trafficking of 15g of crystal meth. In his failed appeal bid, he said: ‘Should a shorter sentence be imposed, it would allow me to remain useful in society.
‘I was misled in my youth, in an environment surrounded by drugs, to fall into the dark lure of addiction, oblivious to the hold it had on me.’ Before moving to Singapore in 2007, Yuen – the son of a marketing consultant from China and a Singapore-born marketing executive – was a pupil at Dulwich Prep School in South London and then Westminster School, whose alumni include Nick Clegg, Peter Ustinov and John Gielgud.
At Westminster School he gained 11 GCSEs – four A*s, six As, and one B. But while at the top public school he ‘got in with the wrong crowd’ and ended up in trouble with the Metropolitan Police.
In 2007, it emerged that Yuen was wanted by Scotland Yard over an alleged forged driving licences scam. A newspaper tracked him down to Singapore, where he reportedly admitted that he manufactured fake documents and sold them to pupils.

Drug dealers are not torturing their victims?

Jeremy Hunt can make alot of diplomatic noise but nothing ever changes! Call it torture or whatever names, this Chinese Brit certainly deserves his punishment. Others before him including ang mohs have been hanged; not stroked!

Just hang the guy and be done with it. It's a lot cheaper.

A BRITISH ex-public schoolboy is at the centre of a diplomatic row after he was sentenced to naked caning in Singapore.

London-born Ye Ming Yuen has been sentenced to naked flogging and 20 years in jail after reportedly being convicted of seven drug offences, including trafficking.

The sentence has forced the intervention of Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and officials who have insisted they "strongly oppose the use of corporal punishment".

Yuen, 29, who went to a £37,000-a-year Westminster school, will reportedly be stripped naked and strapped to a large wooden trestle.

According to the Daily Mail, his buttocks will be flogged 24 times with a 4ft-long rattan cane.

The punishment is the maximum caning sentence that can be handed out in Singapore.

It's reported Yuen was originally facing the death penalty but the capital charge was dropped because the net weight of the drugs involved was below 500g.

The club DJ is currently being held at Changi Prison and was first arrested over drug offences in August 2016, it's reported.

According to the report, his offences include two counts of "repeat drug trafficking" - one of 69g and one of 60g of cannabis. Another offence included drug trafficking of 15g of crystal meth.

Yuen, who achieved 11 GCSEs while at the Westminster School before falling in with the "wrong crowd, told the Mail: "I was misled in my youth, in an environment surrounded by drugs, to fall into the dark lure of addiction, oblivious to the hold it had on me."

The club DJ's sister said the authorities don't give any advance warning of caning and said it is 'mentally torturous' as it 'could happen any day'.

Yuen's sister told the paper that on two occasions prison guards went to impose his caning sentence in December "without warning" but he said it was against his human rights and they didn't proceed with the punishment.

But she said the authorities don't give any advance warning of caning and said it is "mentally torturous" as it "could happen any day".

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt raised Yuen's case with Singapore's Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan while visiting the country last week, it's claimed, and Foreign Office officials have made representations on the British man's behalf.

In a statement, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "Our consular staff have been assisting a British man and his family since his arrest in Singapore in 2016. We strongly oppose the use of corporal punishment, such as caning, in all cases."

A spokesman for the Singapore High Commission in London told the Mail that Singapore uses the "strictest enforcement" and "severest penalties" in drug offences to protect the welfare of the public and to "raise our children in a safe oasis".

The Sun Online has approached the Foreign Office and and the High Commission for comment.

N these drug peddlers are doing society a favour n not giving undue hardship to its customers? N singkieland is really going down the dumps. Why don't just execute his as b4? He smuggled drugs twice. Should have just hang him. Cane him etc still have to feed him n give him medical care. Waste of resources

The druggies had a choice on whether to buy or not. He, on the other hand, will now face torture snd torment.

You cannot just hang a salesman!
If you do, then might as well hang arms dealers as well.

 

[syed putra]

Drug dealers are not torturing their victims?

No! Of course not! Drug dealers offer salvation!

 

[Froggy]

Hanging, rotan, aren’t all these inherited from our old colonial master?

British?? He looks like a chink to me.

The Brits have been ill treating peasants for a long time I wonder why they've suddenly had a change of heart.

I know this fellow. He was already going bonkers while in remand. After he was sentenced he was put under suicidal watch. He will have a hard time in prison.....the 24 strokes not withstanding.

Btw the inmate isn’t naked and the trestle isn’t wooden. It’s steel with leather padding like an exercise machine. But the cane is really almost 4 feet long. I wish they get their facts right.

Dun speak so soon. PAP may quietly release the boy to face charges of fraud in UK. Then the drug trafficker escapes death penalty AND caning. You believe or not?

 

[shittypore]

You tink this Gahman dare to rotan him 24 lashes? Bearing in mind, Spore Elites many hve hmes in UK and most of their Kids are there enjoying a good life, all will change if the British Citizen get 24 lashes. Vietnamese, Indo or Mal can lah!

What can the British government do? You obviously don't have a clue how things work.
