Unique Punishing Way

As I got off one bus and was waiting for another bus to take me to my work at the bus stop. And this ad totally got my attention. I have heard about caning as a legal punish way to the criminal as well as it used to be used at school to punish students while they made mistakes.
I can't quite remember where or when I saw a scene on TV showed the caning action to one of the members in prison.
So I decided to take couple shots of this ad. And funny enough, while I was taking the shot, this gecko just crawling over on the ad. So without second thought. I quickly clicked my camera. So this shot was not perfect as the top was cut off a bit. It should have Don't on top of it.
Caning, as a form of legally sanctioned corporal punishment for convicted criminals, was first introduced to Singapore and Malaysia (both then part of British Malaya) during the British colonial period. It was formally codified under the Straits Settlements Penal Code Ordinance IV.
Caning remained on the statute book after Malaysia declared independence from Britain, and likewise in Singapore after it ceased to be part of Malaysia. Subsequent legislation has been passed by the Parliament of Singapore over the years to increase the minimum strokes an offender receives, and the number of crimes that may be punished with caning.
Singaporean law allows caning to be ordered for over 30 offences, including hostage-taking / kidnapping,[3] robbery, gang robbery with murder, drug abuse, vandalism, rioting, sexual abuse (molest), and unlawful possession of weapons.[4] Caning is also a mandatory punishment for certain offences such as rape, drug trafficking, drunk driving, illegal money-lending,[5] and for visiting foreigners who overstay their visa by more than 90 days.
Caning takes place at several establishments around Singapore, notably Changi Prison but also including Queenstown Remand Centre, where Michael P. Fay was caned in 1994. Canings are also administered in the Drug Rehabilitation Centres.
