Well it had to happen. Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye advocate corporal punishment in school after counselling. He suggested it after a spate of gangsterism, bullying and even death.
I think it was late in coming but a welcome change.The kids nowadays are more daring than during my time. We had, especially me, problems but never this bad.The kids in our time, if get caught, will take the punishment and rarely complained to the parent as we are more afraid of the punishment that will be given out by our dad.
Nowadays the parents will lash out at the teacher even if his child is wrong. This is due to the inadequancy felt by the parents as they had to work and spend less time with their children.
So what do you all think? I think corporal punishment should be meted out by the disciplinary master after all the facts to the was investigated thoroughly. Counselling should be done prior to the punishment.

True to your comments, kids nowadays are a bit manja. But... more at fault are the parents who cave in easily when their kids complain.
