(According to many sources one, such as TV)
It depends. If you whack someone with a bamboo pole to hang clothes with, the result, although painful, will be different than if you whack them with a half-inch cane. Either way, the pain created by the cane that they are going to use on this Oliver Fricker guy is so excruciating that he will most likely pass out after a single stroke.
If I were the guy, I would rather plead for more jail time than get caned. Believe me, canes used for criminals are not the 50-cent things in the stores at the ground floor of HDB flats.

I am sad to say that caning is compulsory for vandalizing property, just like mandatory death for murder case / drug trafficking.

Jailed 5 months and caning
CONVICTED vandal Oliver Fricker was sentenced to five months' jail and three strokes of the cane on Friday evening for entering a protected place and spraying paint on two carriages of an SMRT train.The 32-year-old IT consultant is appealing against his sentence, according to his lawyer, Mr Derek Kang.
Fricker, who went to jail on Friday, had admitted to a vandalism charge and an offence under the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act. He did them with his friend, Briton Dane Alexander Lloyd, 29, at the SMRT Changi depot between May 16 and 17.
A third charge of cutting the perimeter fence of the depot was considered during his sentencing.
The graffiti on the train with the large words McKoy Banos was seen by many commuters and members of the public before it was reported by a SMRT staff two days later.
Seeking an appropriate jail term on each of the two charges, Deputy Public Prosecutor Sharon Lim argued that such serious breach of the law could not be taken lightly or viewed as a mere prank. The duo, she said, were experienced graffiti writers who had targeted the SMRT train which is the backbone of Singapore's public transport system.
Fricker could have been jailed for up to three years for the vandalism charge; and up to two years for entering a protected place.

Changi Depot staff should be jailed for being so stupid, thinking that the graffiti was an advertisement and not noticing a lobang in their fence.
