Yap. I remembered the case you mentioned well as I am originally from Singapore.
An American kid on a vandalism spree, got caught and sentenced to jail, a fine and 6 strokes of the cane. Bill Clinton, then US president intervene directly with the Singapore President for clemency and the caning was reduced to 4 strokes as a gesture of respect and goodwill but he still got his buttocks smacked by the cane.
Details below:

Pleading ignorance of the country's law is not the way to go and you won't get away with it just because you have a foreign passport
As Bro Sirtiger says, everyone is subject to local laws. | |
