In March, news a Singapore Court had sentenced an 18-year-old American to six strokes with a bamboo cane swept around the world.
President Clinton: Its the first Ive heard of it. Ill look into it.
And Michael Fay, who insists he was tortured into confessing that he spray-painted cars, was instantly caught in the middle of a raging debate.
Yes, says one. People should be responsible for their actions. Let the Vandal take his beating, says another.
Amy Brown, friend: If anybody just put themselves in this position I dont think anybody would want a kid or someone close to them to be beaten with a cane.
After President Clinton personally appealed for leniency, Singapore reduced the sentence from six lashes to four, but that wasnt much consolation for Michael Fay.
The sentence was carried out May 5th.
Michael Fay, Singapore Caning Subject: I was bent over halfway. I mean my back was bent in a ninety degree, and I was cuff... buckled like this and hes whipping as hes going on each step.
Larry King: Do you hear the whip?
MF: Yes, I can. And on the third third step he strikes and he cuts open your buttocks.
LK: And theres a lot of pain.
MF: Theres a lot of pain.
POLICE
Throughout the incident Singapore insisted itsstrict laws made it one of the safest nations on Earth.

President Bill Clinton: “Today I have ordered that illegal refugees from Cuba will not be allowed to enter the United States.”
For 28 years, any Cuban who reached American shores or was rescued in American waters could receive immediate US residency no more during the summer of ’94, Cubans in massive numbers took to the seas in homemade boats. Cuban leader Fidel Castro permitted it, watching part of his economic crisis transferred 90 miles north to South Florida.
Florida Governor Lawton Chiles: “This is not a manageable situation—not for Florida, not for Monroe County. You know we want to see a federal response.”
[Gov. Chiles won his reelection bid that year, trouncing challenger Jeb Bush - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz12vubsknc ]
So, the rafters were detoured and detained at US military bases at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and Panama and to put the squeeze on Castro, direct US-Cuban charter flights were banned and the money Cubans in the United States could send home was cut in half.
In September Cuba agreed to stop the exodus and the u.s. agreed to admit 20,000 Cubans a year, but the US sanctions still a sore spot remain.
