To cane or not to cane...

By Shuli Sudderuddin

QUALITY control inspector S. Poopathy used to cane his daughter Ashnee when she was about eight.

Using a rattan cane, he would hit her in a controlled manner on the palm or below her knees when she had done something naughty.

Now 15, Ashnee has a good relationship with her parents, and is a disciplined child.

Read Shuli Sudderuddin's full story in tomorrow's edition of The Sunday Times.
