So sick in mind at such a young age. What will these be and propagate when they are older and mature?

A Singapore court has fined a French student S$600 ($465; £348) for licking a straw from an orange juice vending machine and putting it back into its dispenser.

Maximilien, who is studying in Singapore, posted the video of himself licking the straw on Instagram with the caption "city is not safe".

The 19-year-old was "truly sorry" for causing trouble, his lawyers said.

Of course he is! He should have had $6000 in fine. Stupid guy studying in Singapore. His mom and dad should consider spending money on something that has a chance to give results.

Young people are engaging in idiotic behavior for social media clout. He should have been expelled from Singapore.

I reckon this poor behaviour deserves a canning. It's an obvious case of poor parenting

In the Wokie West he'd get a slap on the wrist, only to re offend.

We need to teach right from wrong, a slap on the wrist does not working

Agreed, but in my experience, peers and social media often have a stronger influence on teens than their own parents do.

I trust you meant to include the parents in the canning.
