CANING . . . FAY SR. LASHES OUT, ANOTHER BOY WHIPPED
Michael Fay's father said he would take legal action against Singapore for caning his 19-year-old son, and the Far East government suggested the Fays were getting greedy. "I don't want to make any money on it, but I do want to take a hell of a lot of money from Singapore's pockets," George Fay told the press. Meanwhile Thursday, Shiu Chi Ho, a 17-year-old from Hong Kong, was lashed six times for the same alleged rash of petty spray-paint vandalism in which Michael Fay claims he took no part. The Ohioan's sentence was knocked down from six to four strokes after President Clinton intervened.
