This supposed gang activities is nothing more than an illegal gathering of more then five persons, in the usual Singapore fashion of a social group get together - some of whom are loafers out to get excitement through mischief.
The present groups that get into brushes with each other is nothing compared to the Triads activities of the early 1940s through 1960s.
last time the triads more fierce, they fought openly. now these are considered skirmishes, but i agree that there are still gangs operating in singapore. and more should be done la. heavier sentences.
i've met with some members, who chopped others before etc. tried to encourage them to quit, but pointless la.
wah lao, my god-sis stay at havelock rd la! i worry for her now.

and wah lao. again malay gang.

actually, i wonder why always malay gangs surface in newspaper.. i know the chinese gangs also got fights, in fact, i know someone who got his throat sliced up and was hospitalized.
maybe malay gangs more vicious.
