recently, i read a newspaper report abt a father scalding his 9 year daughter for stealing and caning her....her counselor found out abt the injuries and report the matter to the police, the dad nw face jail term a fine and possible caning sentence. after reading this...i thought to myself...wad has the singapore society becoming to? put aside the fact that the father IS violent....lets take a look at another POV.

i personally feel that the government or shld i say , the society of today is trying to control wad parents are suppose to do. in the beginning, its hit less talk more....the idea is that children shld have good childhood memories...without any memories of his/her dad/mom hitting him/her....thats a nice ideal isn't it...and they prove it by giving evidence that a child that has a rough past tends to be more violent...etc...etc...blah blah blah....all this...is society's pov! in an actual situation, sometimes u CANNOT DUN whack ur child...cos when a child is growing up, he/she need to understand discipline. every1 including animals sometimes need to learn it the hard way...if u dun...u dun learn from ur mistakes...thats wad its about. take a look at western countries...they talk all abt freedom and wad not....parents shld not hit their child....any children that gt hit can call help from children aid(an organisation)...then end up the child giving total disrespect to their parents...often screaming vulgarities and hitting them cos the children has a sense of security that nthing really bad would happen to them if they do it...the most is gt grounded and such....if they were in asia...they would not live to see tml's daylight...such disrespect! lets not jus compare the general asia and western community, lets zoom in further. to singapore perhaps.

as singapore is a multi-racial country, we are more or less being influence by western AND Asian cultures....and the difference is that western culture introduce freedom while asian cultures demand discipline. the difference in which how a parent teach their kids is oso very different. dun believe me? u can ask ur parents or even ur grandparents if they were ever caned, smacked and sometimes thrown out of the house...they will tell u " i have lose count on the numbers...but it sure bring back memories..good and bad" and it did them good you know. im not saying that hitting ur children is the best way to discipline them. but at least they can know wad is right wad is wrong, sometimes words from mouth cant be learned until u experience it urself....humans like everything else, sometimes need to learn things the hard way. in order to fear the consequences, in order to know its wrong. last time parents have full rein of their authority. now? parents are being chained down and are 'asked' not to hit their child often(i gt the impression that its figures is not more than the fingers i have in my hands). i always feel like asking the society, "who are you to tell wad the parent are doing?" u might say " wad they are doing is not right...wad they are doing does not solve anything...blah blah blah" ok...u may be right in saying it does not solve things....but u have no right to say wad they are doing is not right...YOU are just an outsider, and outsider shld not be overly concern of wad happen!

lets go back to the case....yes, i agree to some extent that the father using hot water to scald his daughter is abit overboard. but hey..i dun see hw caning her is...stealing is a bad habit that will ruin her future, he is jus infuriated that it is not the 1st time she does that le...and in such a young age somemore...if he dun put a stop to that now when she is older, she is goin to jail rather than home. and because of that he is gtting a jail, fine and possible caning sentence...1st 2 i might agree but FUCK the caning...this isn't right...this is telling parents " if u do this to ur kids we will do the same to you..espacially the fathers...u jolly well be dam clear abt this"

children these days are too soft, scared of hard work and dependent on others....always gt maid to help them carry stuff, gt parent's car to go around....kids these days...are nthing compare to my childhood days...sure they arent as good as the kids nowadays but nonetheless i have a good time...haiz...if u go to china and help out and u see the kids there....they can put singapore children to shame at any 1 time...so buck up la...haiz

haha...sry i wrote an argumentative essay out instead -.- but thats my POV u can choose to agree and disagree.
