Both are living creatures and their lives matter. The cats killer is a serial killer _ the escooter is an accidental killer. Both should be given harsher punishment. 12 weeks definitely too light.

Singapore's punishment tend to be light relative to, say USA. I was wondering why about 3 decades ago and I came to the conclusion that Singapore wants to lower costs. Keeping prisoners cost money. In US, they can have harsher sentences as a lot of prisons are private and the companies can earn back via prison labour and services.
