Another 6 youths (related to Bukit Panjang case) caught at Balestier & Bukit Batok. That brings a total of 12 caught. If I don't read wrongly, they were beating up people there.

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.

Muffins:

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).

Hi Muffins

You uncle is calm and handle the situation well.

Yah.... Able to think impromptu...

POLICE on Friday warned youth offenders involved in violent crimes that they will not be treated lightly simply because of their age, and vowed to deal with all gang behavior 'firmly and decisively'.

They will not hesitate to use the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act if necessary, said a police statement in response to a recent spate of gang attacks and rioting, sparking calls from the public for stronger police action.

Police said they conduct regular enforcement rounds on the ground to flush out out gang activities. Once detected, the Secret Societies Branch would step in to investigate the extent of gang involvement by each member.

In the recent cases, a Republic a Republic Polytechnic student was fatally slashed in Downtown East on Oct 30. Five youths have been charged with the murder of Darren Ng, 19. Nineteen youths who turned up in court to support the fifth suspect also ended up being arrested on Wednesday.

On Monday evening, a 20-year-old youth was slashed by a group armed with parangs and choppers at Block 418, Fajar Road. The group is believed to have also attacked six teenage boys at Block 505, Jelapang Road. Twelve suspects have been arrested over the two attacks.

Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam told reporters at a news briefing on Friday that these attacks were not 'completely random'.

Following these incidents, police have picked up 40 suspects in an island-wide blitz and will continue to target gang-related activity in the coming weeks.

'Police will deal with all gang behaviour firmly and decisively,' said a police statement on Friday.

Police are also using preventing and proactive strategies to deal with street gangs, including giving talks to secondary school students and other rehabilitative programmes.[/quote]http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_602448.html
[quote]Gangs recruit teens in Bukit Panjang
By Shawn Lee Miller, Multimedia Journalist
GANG members have been recruiting fresh blood into their ranks outside school premises.

This was revealed in a police briefing on Friday.

RazorTV asked residents of Bukit Panjang, where two armed attacks occurred on Monday, if they noticed gangs in the schools.

Some said they have seen or heard of gangs recruiting outside secondary schools in the neighbourhood.

Mr Alex Lim, a former gang member and now a youth mentor, said that gangs usually recruit people from secondary schools, video game arcades, void decks or shopping centres.[/quote]

\"Speaking at a media briefing on Friday, Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam said the islandwide sweep will continue over the next few weeks.


He added that the police will not hesitate to use the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act if necessary.

The Act allows suspected criminals to be detained without trial and is used largely in cases relating to secret societies, drug trafficking and loan-sharking.
Mr Shanmugam said the Act is a powerful tool for the police, adding that \"along with great power, comes great responsibility\"....\"

Good one.. spiderman to the rescue...
