الملخص:Physical punishment is still used as a means of child discipline by Singaporean parents. Is there a difference between such use of violence and abuse of children which is punishable as a criminal offence?

This article argues that there is in fact sufficient evidence that Singapore law implicitly prohibits corporal punishment of children by their parents.
