SINGAPORE: British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt raised the case of a drug smuggler who was sentenced to caning after being arrested in Singapore to Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, a spokesperson for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said on Sunday (Jan 12).

“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.

"The Foreign Secretary personally raised this with the Singaporean Minister for Foreign Affairs earlier this month," the spokesman added.

Mr Hunt was in Singapore for a two-day official visit from Jan 4 to 5.

In response to a query from Channel NewsAsia, Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that British national Yuen Ye Ming was first arrested on Aug 5, 2016. He was then convicted on Jan 17, 2018 and released on court bail, pending his sentencing.

While he was out on bail, Yuen was arrested again on Feb 20, 2018 for committing similar drug-related offences.

"Yuen was sentenced to 20 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane for drug-related offences, including drug trafficking, drug consumption, and drug possession," MHA said.

MHA added that Yuen’s caning has not yet been carried out: "The claim by Yuen's sister that was reported by the Daily Mail, that we were going to proceed with the caning and then had halted it, is patently false."

The Daily Mail report, published on Jan 11, claimed that Singapore prison authorities did not proceed with the caning sentence in December as Yuen "exclaimed it was against his human rights".

MHA said that Yuen has been visited by representatives from the British High Commission, as well as his family members.

"Yuen committed the crimes while he was in Singapore, and must bear the consequences of his actions in accordance with our laws," the ministry said.

“MISLED IN HIS YOUTH”

According to the Daily Mail, London-born Yuen is the son of a marketing consultant from China and a Singapore-born marketing executive.

Prior to moving to Singapore in 2007, he attended Dulwich Prep School and Westminster School in England, the report said.

Formerly a club DJ, Yuen said that he had been "misled in his youth, in an environment surrounded by drugs" in an appeal bid cited by the British newspaper.

In 2007, Yuen was also reportedly wanted by Scotland Yard over an alleged forged driving licences scam.

British newspaper The Evening Standard interviewed him in Singapore where he reportedly admitted to manufacturing fake documents and selling them to students from other schools.

The forged documents enabled the students to conceal their true age in order to purchase alcohol.

The Evening Standard said Yuen, then 18 years old, was working at Home Club in Singapore as a resident DJ under the name DJ Ming.

Yuen admitted in the report to being the "ringleader" of the scam and said it was an "easy way to make money" to fund his party lifestyle.

No la it’s not that bad.
Most (90%) can walk immediately even after 24 strokes.
And almost all heal after one week even without applying medicine.
Rotan is not as scary as they made it out.
There are those that accumulated in excess of 50 strokes and met one that had more than 100 in total.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

I am really upset with the authorities,,,I mean why dont deport the damn journalist?

SINGAPORE: A journalist with the Daily Mail will be denied further visits to British drug smuggler Yuen Ye Ming, after conducting an unauthorised interview with him in Singapore, said the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) on Wednesday (Jan 23).
Yuen had been sentenced to 20 years in jail and 24 strokes of the cane for various drug offences, including trafficking.

His case was raised by British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt when he was in Singapore for an official visit earlier this month.
READ: British drug smuggler’s case raised by UK foreign secretary on recent visit to Singapore
The Daily Mail interview with Yuen was conducted by journalist Stephen Wright, who spoke to him on Jan 18 via video link from the Prison Link Centre in Geylang Bahru.
Wright had been registered by Yuen’s uncle to accompany him on the tele-visit as a family friend, said SPS, adding that such visits by non-family members may be allowed if accompanied by registered family members.

“However, Wright had not obtained permission from SPS to speak to Yuen in his capacity as a journalist for the Daily Mail, for the purpose of publicising the content of their conversation," said SPS in response to Channel NewsAsia's queries.
“SPS does not allow interviews to be conducted with prison inmates without prior approval. Wright had undertaken the tele-visit under false pretences. He will be barred from making any further visits."
In the interview with the Daily Mail, published on Jan 19 Singapore time, Yuen described his time in Changi prison and how he felt having to face 24 strokes of the cane.
London-born Yuen is the son of a marketing consultant from China and a Singapore-born marketing executive, according to an earlier report by the British publication.
Prior to moving to Singapore in 2007, he attended Dulwich Prep School and Westminster School in England, the report said.

In addition, the daily mail is basically the tabloid news,,,,absolute garbage



Wikipedia Bans Daily Mail As Source Material: ‘Unreliable’
By Madison Malone Kircher

Wikipedia built its encyclopedia empire (or, really, encyclopedia democratic republic) by ensuring that anyone with reliable information from anywhere can contribute. The question, of course, is what “reliable” is. One thing it’s not: the Daily Mail. In the culmination of a discussion started back in 2015, Wikipedia editors have decided that the English tabloid no longer constitutes a reliable source for article information and have issued a ban on using articles from the Mail, or its online version, to source Wikipedia pages.
From Wikipedia:

Consensus has determined that the Daily Mail (including its online version, dailymail.co.uk) is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is to be generally prohibited, especially when other more reliable sources exist. As a result, the Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, nor should it be used as a source in articles. An edit filter should be put in place going forward to warn editors attempting to use the Daily Mail as a reference.​

As noted by Wikipedia, much of the information found in Daily Mail stories (and often sensationalized in Daily Mail stories) can be found in other publications. Currently about 12,000 DM stories are linked and sourced throughout Wikipedia, and editors are being asked to consider replacing those. The new ban has a few exceptions where editors can continue using DM content, specifically in cases of older and potentially more reliable articles.

Wikipedia banning the Daily Mail is the first time the website has placed such wide-ranging restrictions condemning a single source. Even Russia Today, a Kremlin-sponsored propaganda website is still allowed for sourcing, which definitely says, uh, something about the state, or at least the style, of the Daily Mail in 2017.

Too late. Caning already done.

 

[A Singaporean]

They should ban this inhumane punishment. The rotan or caning. Its a form of torture.

Canning should be reserved for Muslims.

Sg won't dare whip a white arse
They even convieniently practise apartheid by selectively choosing to prosecute under a non mandatory death sentence charge.

"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."
