Caned teen released from Singapore prison
SINGAPORE AP Michael Fay the American teenager whose flogging for vandalism dragged Americans and Asians into a rancorous cultural clash walked out of prison today saying he was in good shape and eager to go home. He looked pale and thinner after 83 days behind bars but sounded cheerful as he told reporters I am happy to be out. My health is good. I'm looking forward to the future very much. He added I am looking forward to going back to my own country. Fay 19 was given four strokes of a rattan cane on top of a four month term and a fine after pleading guilty to spray painting cars and other mischief. He would have a medical checkup, but none was given. The lashing provoked protests and political fallout, with President Clinton denouncing Singapore's human rights stance and prompting debate over punishment harshness.
