For punishment at home, it is a very common sight as children are often spanked or caned using a cane when they misbehave or did something wrong. Other common actions, mostly used on younger children, is to get their child on their lap and spank their bare buttocks.
For punishment in school, it is often done where the Discipline Master would cane a student in front of a group of students, sometimes a class, a level, or the whole school. This was to serve as a reminder to the rest of the student population not to misbehave and also to the offender, whose self-esteem would naturally be affected.
For judicial punishment, it is very often seen in jails with criminals who have committed serious crimes and jail terms are just not sufficient enough and death penalty are just too heavy. Caning in jail are far more pain as compared to schools or at home and thus, are able to leave a burning and permanent scar on the inflicted. An example of one who received such punishment was Michael P.Fay, who was an american teenager who vandalized in Singapore, thus having him undergo caning, leading to the displease of the Americans.
