Singapore will implement mandatory caning for scammers from December 30 to combat rising fraud cases. The new law, passed by parliament, includes up to 24 strokes of the cane for scammers and discretionary caning for those aiding in scam-related activities. This measure aims to strengthen penalties alongside imprisonment and fines.

Caning, a colonial-era punishment, is also used in Malaysia and Brunei.
