Downtown East incident....

[Muffins]

I dun think Darren was part of the secret society. One website said that his friend was in jail, and they recognised Darren from the last time he was with that friend. So, they started staring at him and mumbling about his friend. Darren got irked a bit, and stared back. Then, that whole \"confrontation\" thing... :roll: :roll: :roll:


Seriously, men are a bit weird. Whenever they feel like anybody is eating into their own \"territory:\" or trying to size them up, they think that if they can just nonchalantly say something offensive/retaliate in a fashion, that the people would back off. Lemme relate to you a personal experience:

My uncle, whom I have known for all my life, was once walking down a road at night, getting back to his house. He noticed that some guy was staring at him. He started to stare back. That guy started walking towards him. And it went down like this:

Guy: Eh, what you staring at? Wanna fight ah? (Reaches into pocket)
Uncle: (Thinking, thinking, http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/skype-emoticons.html) No lah, you see, I thought you were my friend, you look a lot like him. Aiyoh, sorry for confusion...
Guy: Aiyoh leh, why don't you just say so leh, ok ah, see you (waves hand).

THE apparent gang involvement behind the Bukit Panjang slashings and the Oct 30 murder of 19-year-old Darren Ng has raised concern among MPs.

Mr Alvin Yeo, chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Law, intends to raise the issue of gangs in the next parliamentary sitting, to be held later this month.

He said: 'Two such incidents have happened, so close to each other and with serious consequences. We will try and get a sense of how the authorities view the situation, how widespread the problem is, what measures are being taken to apprehend the perpetrators and bring the problem under control.'

He added that several MPs will also be raising parliamentary questions on the issue of gangs in the upcoming sitting.

Who's beating who? My friend living in bukit panjang used to complain about the noise level of the 24hr coffee shop opposite his block. But for this week he said it's dead quiet.

They should be patting them down for hidden weapons rather than look at their ic
