In Singapore schools, the student’s name will be announced during assembly to be spanked in public and he have to bend by putting his hand on a table or chair and lean forward. Shorts under his pants (like PE shorts) would be taken off before he bend over the table. Then the principal or teacher would swing the cane at the air to practice his/her stroke. The teacher would then cane the student on his pants. The amount of strokes would be read out sometimes and his offences as well. For girls, the caning is on their palms. Stand straight, put hands out with palms open and the teacher would whip her palms.
