Students may get public caning
Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia announced on Monday it is considering re-introducing the previously banned act of public caning in schools as a deterrent to undisciplined students, an official news report said.
Currently, school principals are allowed to cane trouble-making students but only in a private room with another teacher present as a witness, Deputy Education Minister Noh Omar said.
"We need to discuss the matter and take into consideration that public caning was introduced in 1959," Noh was quoted by the Bernama news agency as saying in parliament on Monday.
The government banned public caning in 2004 but allowed school headmasters to cane students in their rooms with a witness.

Public caning can be a very effective deterent and a deserved punishment. I think it should certainly be brought back in your schools.
