Yah.... Able to think impromptu...
Hi MuffinsMuffins:
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).
You uncle is calm and handle the situation well.

[quote]Police vow to act on gangs

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\"....\"

[quote]目前有196人因涉嫌包括街头党活动的私会党徒被当局援引刑事法（临时条款）拘留。内政部说，其中年纪最小的17岁。
律政部长兼内政部长尚穆根说，刑事法（临时条款）能用来对付那些不能被提控，但又与帮派有密切关联的人。例如未直接参与案件的帮伙头目或证据不足时，这个条款能作为暂时的保护条令，让当局无须经过审判就收押这些人。
刑事法（临时条款）允许警方可未经审讯逮捕危害公众安全者。不过，为避免被滥用，任何逮捕或警方监视令交给内政部长签署前，必须由内政部和总检察署高级官员审查，确保有足够理由和证据动用刑事法。
这类案件过后交给“刑事法令咨询委员会（听审）”审查。委员会由独立人士组成，包括社会闻人、太平绅士、律师等。嫌犯可聘律师协助。
内政部把委员会的报告书交给内阁，由内阁呈给总统，并向总统建议是否确定内政部长所签署的逮捕或监视令。
所有的逮捕每年由检讨委员会检讨，研究是否继续拘留，或无条件释放，或释放后由警方监视。委员会成员由平民组成，不包括先前的咨询委员会成员，以求公正。这样的审查每年进行，直到嫌犯受拘留10年或更长时，由另一个称为‘检讨局’的委员会检讨。”

Kids nowadays....
Parents or family to be blamed? Not fair........ JMHO
Aiya our young people and youth and the temptaitons and distractions facing them .... a little overwhelming at
times.... They are at a neither here nor there kind of age.
:slapshead: :slapshead:
If both parents worked , kids are left to their own devices, we
blame them for going astray or ? a dilemma for many family ,
some of us may not face what they face??

They like the attention and sense of belonging, thus being lured to join gangs.
This is their reasons :shock: :shock:
\"Our families are busy working and teenagers need a lot of attention, and they get that from being in a gang,\" he said.
\"I'm not close to my family and I fight a lot with them. Whenever I get into trouble, it is my friends who are there for me.\"
This reason is even worse !!!
My parents are nice people and they do take care of me. I'm the only child. But they are always so busy at work.
\"So to fill my time, I hang out with these guys. My parents don't know that my friends are gang members. They'd be very upset if they knew.\"
So we are up against a very strong tsunami -- and our youth unsupervised time in their hand ......and the need for belonging and attention ??
:slapshead: -
I know this might sound a bit stupid but look, its mainly abt family issues, so we have to tackle that first.
