I think you mean Michael Faye, who vandalized cars with spray paint in Singapore, which is a bit more than spitting gum. And yes, Clinton personally intervened on his behalf and got his number of caning swats reduced, IIRC. If I ever caught someone messing with one of my cars, they'd beg for a caning over what I'd do to them.
