KMT lawmaker aims to hold referendum to legalize caning
Posted on 2025-12-03 17:13:15
KMT Lawmaker Hong Meng-kai says, he will support changing the law to legalize
caning as a state-sanctioned punishment.

That comes as Singapore has made amendments to their laws to allow caning as
punishment for fraud.

Hong says, the Taiwanese government should consider legalizing caning for
those who commit child abuse, rape, and fraud.

He also says that he's considering proposing a referendum vote on the
practice for next year, and even said he would propose an amendment to the
Criminal Code.

Hong also claims that 70% of the public supports caning as state-sanctioned
punishment.

Meanwhile the Ministry of Justice says, the legalization of such a practice
would require long-term consideration...

as it constitutes a form of torture.
