....The judge however, felt that a harsh sentence was needed to deter others from committing a similar offence. For each count of criminal intimidation, Mani could have been jailed up to 10 years and fined.

The spotlight should be on AGC for indicting the ah neh leniently. A more serious indictment with mandatory caning should have been preferred against this ah neh. If this ah neh is not caned, there is no punishment.
Considering this ah neh came from a shit hole country, sending him to hotel changi is like giving him a vacation. Nothing will deter another foreigner from doing the same crime unless caning is mandatory for similar offences.
Cane them and deport such rubbish.
