Dear Mr
Ravenscroft
I refer to your letter addressed to our London
office regarding your concern over crime punishment in
Singapore.
Your comments are understandable, but your fears
are groundless.
The penalty for dropping litter in
Singapore is a fixed fine of S$500. I have yet to hear of anybody being jailed
for this offence, let alone flogging.
Your example of the
American youth being flogged was for a series of serious offences which
necessitated bringing the matter to public light that such crimes would not be
tolerated by Singapore nationals or overseas residents.
I
can honestly state that during my frequent visits to Singapore, over the last
20 years that I have been employed by Singapore Airlines, I have never
encountered any incident which was unfairly dealt with by the
authorities.
I strongly recommend that you take the
advantage of a stopover in Singapore enroute to Sydney. It has a lot to
offer.
If you have any further doubts, please do not
hesitate to give me a call on 061-832-6929.
Yours
sincerely
JIM BELCH
