"Supposing we say, alright, because he's an American boy, because the American president has asked us not to cane him, and we say alright, no caning. Where's your stand, where's your faith? If you don't cane the boy just because he's American, and meanwhile you cane the Indians, Pakistanis or Bangladeshis, what kind of government are you? What kind of stand do you have? You come to Singapore, you abide by Singapore law, and that’s our responsibility to enforce our law."
