Singapore Knows How To Deal With Youths In The Digital Age

A French teenager who allegedly licked a straw from an orange juice vending machine and put it back into its dispenser has been charged with committing mischief and being a public nuisance in Singapore.

Why? For Tiktok 'Likes' of course.

The company that owns the vending machine, iJooz, says it replaced all 500 straws in the machine's dispenser after the alleged incident.

And they aren't prpared to swallow that cost and laugh it off as they would in the West...

If found guilty of both charges Maximilien faces a maximum jail sentence of more than two years and thousands of dollars in fines.

I visited Singapore on holiday many years ago, and found it clean and safe like the UK used to be.

Maximilien is currently a student at the Singapore branch of the Essec Business School.

His lawyers had earlier told CNA that Maximilien's parents had flown over to Singapore and that a representative from his school would be his bailor. His case will be heard again in court on 22 May.

I hope he learned more about business than he evidently did about the culture of the country he was staying in. 

This Is Why I Love IT...

...it shines a light on 'unacceptable reality' that the progressives desperately want to ignore, but really can't. 

They do try, though, even if it's futile:

Gloria Morrison, a co-founder of Jengba (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty By Association), which brought the legal action that led to the prosecutions being monitored for racial bias, said: “The data has proven that joint enterprise charging is not simply disproportionate against black and working-class defendants, it is a useful tool to gather up as many convictions as possible using what is clearly a racist doctrine that has no place in the British justice system.”

No, sweetie, that's not what it shows at all. And you know it.  

Awkward...

She didn't show much 'community leadership' did she?!
