Downtown East incident....

Blobbi:

Carrying deadly weapon also death sentence here?


So sad and horrific.

Reminds of the incident in which a Poly student who was on work attachment in China got slashed in a taxi while escaping some thugs. I thought it could only happen outside of Singapore. Guess Im wrong.

Think a similar incident like this happened at Lucky Chinatown many years ago. The mother of the victim at that time, if not mistaken, killed herself subsequently?

We talk abt fight against terrorism... yet we can't even stop such a gang fight from happening...

Happened in broad daylight... crowded place... chopper (what if it's something more lethal?)...

Shouldn't the police be cracking down on gangs big and small? Where are they? I usually only see the police at Adam Road Hawker Centre!

sad to say but such incidents really reflect how the teens nowadays feel about themselves … whoever has the bigger group/weapon will just feel ‘big’ about themselves …


an accidental glance or bump can lead into something so tragic

condolences to the family

I feel sad when I read Darren kept telling his friend,”Very pain, I cannot take it.”


The case has been classified as murder, which carries the death penalty.

All the suspects are facing death penalty....

Yes agree. Condolence to the family.

Also.... it makes me wonder how to ensure my kids get out of such uninvited trouble???? Eg. last week my P2 boy saw a man eating on the bus, he kept looking at the man and told me loudly.... why is that man eating on the bus,etc...

So what should I teach him???? Keep low profile and mind his own business???? :? In case he is too garang and he will invite unnecessary troubles to himself :?

Downtown east is a family entertainment place. Many students also like to organize trips to Wild Wild Wet and chalets nearby. With this type of case happen there, how can we parents feel safe, to allow our kids to have outings there?

\"Ah Boy, want to fight/be garang... make sure you confirm win... or be policeman when you grow up. Else, better learn how to run faster.\"
