Ideally true. GCM (garbage can man) really deserves a few years in gaol to think things over.let other inmates deliver the beating.They'd be right to get charged. I watch the full video. It was a bit too much of a beating. Should have stopped after the first couple as they already had him restrained and called the police.
However, if he was in Singapore, the caning he got might have been similar to what the shopkeepers delivered.
BTW, I was disturbed by the bloke filming just telling the shopkeepers to let it go, charge it to insurance, nothing you can do. As a society we have to ALL say "this is dead wrong" and advocate for this sort of unconscionable theft to be fully punished.
