Downtown East incident....
-
I understand that most of these thugs like to hang around in LAN shops & billiard centres. My friend & I have this policy to ensure that our house are stuffed with computer games/ESPN sports channels so that our kids don’t need to venture outside into LAN shops/pubs for entertainment in future.
-
I hope the courts will award a series of what may seem to be excessively harsh deterrent sentences to those found guilty of such violent acts.
Sorry if I sound like some cold high-handed politician, which I’m not.
I’m saying this because the public must be protected from such mindless violence.
How can Singapore become a place where parents worry about their children’s safety in public places?
I cannot accept this situation. :x -

Another slashing incident in Singapore. This time in bukit panjang.

My colis discussed the same thing yesterday over lunch.
One of them has a DS that didn't do too well for his exams, regardless she got him what he wanted for the holidays i.e. Wii and his favorite games; in the hopes that he will stay home and play. -

There is no excuse nor reason for senseless violent acts. -

My nephew is attending the graduation dinner this week and because of this recent case the parents started getting worry and plan to accompany him home.I hope the courts will award a series of what may seem to be excessively harsh deterrent sentences to those found guilty of such violent acts.

I don’t understand this ‘staring issue’ but then with troublemakers aka triad groups, this is an excuse to start a fight.
Singapore is known for its safe environment, but it doesn’t seem to be so with this brainless murder and other problems with an increased population.
In primary school, we can still keep the kids at home, but not possible at sec or poly/JC. I sure hope there will be more plain clothes police around, not just at Downtown East but other areas too…these thugs are all over Singapore. :x -
Terrible to hear of more cases… What is Singapore coming to???
Had this conversation with my sil who has a 18 yr old. The advice they dish out to him is :
* Don’t kaypoh. If you see people with tattoo, don’t keep looking. Don’t even look.
* Don’t take a 2nd look at people’s girlfriend where she is pretty or dressing in a outrageous manner. Just mind your own biz.
* Don’t be a hero. Look at the situation and even if it means you are not “righteous”, just leave it… I am not sure about this. But as a parent, we also don’t want any harm to happen on our kid. -
What happen to the kids nowadays :?
Want to be hero(es)/Heroine(s)? -
Wonder if any MP’s gonna bring this topic up in Parliament? Or they think it’s not relevant??

16 youths attacked by '369' gang members
Six students have been hospitalised after suffering injuries from yet another gang-related slashing incident.

:!: SINGAPORE - There are some 500,000 children between the ages of six and 16 here. And about one in 10 has a mild mental disorder, an expert from the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) has estimated based on a national survey in 2004. :shock:

What kind of generation are we \"cultivating\"? I pity the future generations! -

I agree with you. I wonder is there anyone ministry looking into all these cases, what are their profiles, what are their families profile... So that it can serve as a warning to parents.:!: SINGAPORE - There are some 500,000 children between the ages of six and 16 here.

if this kept going on unabated, sure will gov.sg needs more FT to support the ambitious GDP…
Do you recall once upon a time, SDU were formed for matching Graduates only?! Later did the success rates were less then ideal, that they widen the window? But it was still not working well.
The hole in our social fabric, once mended, is wearing off again…
Singapore society has unfortunately leaned to focus on $ and prestige, some have time to look after their kids, some did not… -
Downtown East Murder ->
Downtown East murder: Teen suspect jumped 3 storeys to escape police! ->
Triads linked to Downtown East murder? ->
Gang armed with parangs go on slashing spree in Bukit Panjang!
Parents are busy focusing on their careers;
Teachers are busy concentrating on their school grades & reputation;
Govt. is busy building the nation
(but trying their best to inculcate discipline values, even lessons on \"falling in love\")
So who is there for the children?????
