  Those who killed others because of driving are usually given at most 6 months jail, with no caning, unless their mouth is itchy and say something like the person deserve to die.

  But most of the time, they are NOT jailed, and just fine, along with their driving license revoked.

  Well happy I wasn't in Singapore when I did what I did!

  Do you know if I would still be able to get a visa to visit my brother with a criminal record and having been in jail for a while?

  Sometimes its the fault of the person getting hit, i.e. jaywalkers who don't bother to look and suddenly walk out, or dangerous cyclers. Hitting someone is also very mentally trumatizing to the driver.

   

  IMO, violent criminals who beat up people for whatever reasons is unforgivable. They should be locked up much much longer.

  This is a reflection of just how constructive sgforum is. Anyway, you sounded just like some of our opposition politicians - complain a lot, but has no alternative to offer.

  When you punish someone, they will turn for the worse. They would tell themselves to be 'smarter' the next time and to do worse things. Resulting to new crimes, new punishments, new preventive measures. It is a vicious cycle. Have you seen any prison which its prisoners getting fewer and fewer? No.

   

  This is so right! Jailing people up is just stupid, not only is it useless in deterring people from committing crime, but it also waste the nation's resource in providing for these people, who are not allowed to create wealth, and more resources have to be spent on providing security for them and against them.

  therefore....

  Lets just hang every single one of them :P

  Then the government should create more fear for those who just became SG citizens.

  Not really, I highly doubt the world has someone as smart as L to deal with you if you really become Kira.

  I was referring to the "having to search and write all the names of useless people in" as being troublesome. :) I'd rather it just simply happen w/o me having to do anything.
