\"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...

[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。”

\"Even top school students get recruited for gangs...\"
:stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:
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.

Now even women want to get into the act. :siao:

Woman attacked by gang in Yishun
By Amanda Wong
A 26-year-old woman was enjoying happy hour with two male friends at Ginza Pub in Yishun along Sembawang Road on November 10 when the unexpected happened.
She was approached by a group of five women and one man in their late 20s, who asked if she belonged to a gang.
When she said no, the gang started attacking her with glass bottles and knives.
She suffered multiple slashes on her face, arms and legs, and was sent to the hospital.
Her two male friends were also injured while trying to protect her.
The victim said no one came to her rescue during the attack. The pub management did nothing to mediate the situation until the police and the ambulance arrived.
This attack comes after two gang attacks that have resulted in one death, 7 injured and nearly 40 arrests. -

[quote]SINGAPORE: Four more youths have been arrested as part of the ongoing police clampdown on gangs.
The four - two boys and two girls - are between 14 and 18 years old.
They were found with offensive weapons when they were arrested at Coasta Sands Chalet in Pasir Ris at about 12.05am Saturday.
One of them was found with a kitchen chopper hidden under his shirt. Another chopper was recovered from the handbag of one of the girls.
The four are believed to be involved in gang activities. All will be charged in court on Monday.
If convicted, they could be jailed up to three years and given up to six strokes of the cane.
The Commander of Bedok Police Division said: \"Police will continue with our enforcement actions against gangs. Youth offenders will not be treated lightly simply because of their age and there will be no leniency for those who disregard the law. All gang behaviour will be dealt with firmly and decisively by the Police.\"
Police are stepping up enforcement on gang-related activities after vicious attacks in Pasir Ris and Bukit Panjang left one teen dead and several others injured.
