Downtown East incident....
-
I read with horror too..such violence. Condolences to the poor boy's family, so hard to bring up a kid especially in SG and just gone like that.
-
Yeah, horrifying....
Just last week DD had their school party post PSLe there. Scary.
My heart goes out to the parents.

Hope our new Home Affairs minister will add pressure and set things rightโฆ catch all the BENG gang accomplices and eradicate the whole BENG gang.
-
youngster moving around with weapons (knives)? tatโs scary!
whatever it is, thatโs is somebodyโs child. A life can be taken just like that! Sad! -
Things that are always tell my kids :
1. Donโt speak or laugh loudly in public places.
2. Shut up and disappear to a crowded place if they notice another group is eyeing them. -
Shopowners who sell knives need to pay more attention to the clientele. If see a few angry youths buying knives one after another, shld call to alert the police.
PC games designers need to do their society duty. Film writers as well. These pple need to learn not to release their own set of stress into the work they are doing. Whatever happen to those simple PAC Man games.
When my #2 was a toddler, he saw my elder boy playing a PC game titles Battle-on. Both ended up more violent and subsequently this game was banned at home.
I feel that whenever thugs are caught, the police shld do a survery of how many of them played violent PC games or watched violent movies, then from there published the results. Let the public decide how much more of these we need in our society. Like smoking, educate the public the dangers. -

\"Murder of teen at Downtown East mistaken for Halloween prank\"
Dunno cry or laugh...
Cry wolf 2 many times... with the recent (backfired) guerilla marketing campaigns... until public also become sceptical liao... -
I read TNP just now.
I cried.
For the victim and his family.
For the innocent children and their families who were fleeing in fear.
Very very sad -
It is sad that a young life is lost in such a brutal and senseless manner. Violent crimes have been creeping up lately. :roll: Singapore does not feel safe any more.

Agree, parents play an important part in shaping a child's character and values. Next are the schools and society at large.
Depends on how their lawyers fight?mrswongtuition:

murder is death sentence, right ?
Might be reduced to manslaughter?
And if they are underage, I think it's only reformatory centre?
So sad that these youths resort to violence so easily.
Too much violent shows/games?
i don't think it is games/shows. just bad upbringing mostly.[/quote] -

Think a similar incident like this happened at Lucky Chinatown many years ago. The mother of the victim at that time, if not mistaken, killed herself subsequently?Carrying deadly weapon also death sentence here?
So sad and horrific.
Reminds of the incident in which a Poly student who was on work attachment in China got slashed in a taxi while escaping some thugs. I thought it could only happen outside of Singapore. Guess Im wrong.

Daddy
Shouldn't the police be cracking down on gangs big and small? Where are they? I usually only see the police at Adam Road Hawker Centre!We talk abt fight against terrorism... yet we can't even stop such a gang fight from happening...
Happened in broad daylight... crowded place... chopper (what if it's something more lethal?)... -
sad to say but such incidents really reflect how the teens nowadays feel about themselves โฆ whoever has the bigger group/weapon will just feel โbigโ about themselves โฆ
an accidental glance or bump can lead into something so tragic
condolences to the family -
I feel sad
when I read Darren kept telling his friend,โVery pain, I cannot take it.โ
The case has been classified as murder, which carries the death penalty.
All the suspects are facing death penalty.... -

Also.... it makes me wonder how to ensure my kids get out of such uninvited trouble???? Eg. last week my P2 boy saw a man eating on the bus, he kept looking at the man and told me loudly.... why is that man eating on the bus,etc...
So what should I teach him???? Keep low profile and mind his own business???? :? In case he is too garang and he will invite unnecessary troubles to himself :? -

Downtown east is a family entertainment place. Many students also like to organize trips to Wild Wild Wet and chalets nearby. With this type of case happen there, how can we parents feel safe, to allow our kids to have outings there?

\"Ah Boy, want to fight/be garang... make sure you confirm win... or be policeman when you grow up. Else, better learn how to run faster.\"
