"What's the point of going back home if I cannot face my son?" Kannan walked away thereafter. Such a good father!

Yeah, he is a role model to be a good father and a good citizen. In other side, those robbers instead of being imprisoned and caned, they could never get back to Singapore after serving their prison sentence

Mr Kannan is the hero.

[@ameliachua7751]

idk if this is weird to say but I’ve noticed that the characters that Mr Kannan’s actor plays in crimewatch series are all good people/eye witnesses…

[@PatrickWWJ]

The editing of this episode is the best among the series!

[@JLFans2019Singapore]

There's a reason why the ringleader has the shortest sentence. That is because he was the first one to be found guilty to have lesser strokes with shortest sentence, while the rest has staying in 1 decade to 1 decade and a half year jail with the maximum 24 strokes for their robbery roles

[@MRTinSG]

The ringleader pleaded guilty that’s why.
