'Detention without trial'
THE six suspects in the Bukit Panjang slashing attacks are likely to face detention without trial, a police spokesman told straitstimes.com on Tuesday morning.
In response to a report in The New Paper on Tuesday, which said the six are being 'processed for detention under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act,' a police spokesman confirmed that this was being looked into.
The Act has largely been used to deal with organised crime syndicates and Secret Societies, which once plagued Singapore. Presently, there are 196 being detained under this act for gang-related activities.
In all, 16 suspects aged between 19 and 49 were arrested in connection with the two cases of armed rioting in Bukit Panjang, with 10 released on bail pending investigation, the police said.
Seven people were injured in the slashing incident on Nov 8, which sparked concerns over gang resurgence in Singapore.
An apparently innocent victim, Mr Jayasiva Shangar Guru, 20, was slashed in the legs in last week's parang attack, and faces weeks of physiotherapy.

Hanging is not the solution, anyone could take lives away from anyone when they decided to be the devil themselves.
To take the death away from anyone requires grace and divinity. How many of us can actually tolerate with the thought of removing death from people who deserves death to pay for their crimes?
Please do not waste their young lives giving them a death sentence.
Instead, please use their remaining lives from now onwards to the benefits of their victims, so that they may atone for their crimes in Earth before Heaven.

Do you meant that Singaporean guys are highly incapable of defending themselves?
I see his can be used as a very good point that Singaporean guys are useless even after having gone through NS.
Should NS be revised for longer term with tougher training included?
Stricter discipline should also be implemented for future NS, so that Singaporean guys may graduate from NS with enough training to fend for themselves and protect their loved ones.
