The crackdown is producing some results.
The residents living in a particular neighbourhood, together with all those who have business within, should know their own backyard well enough.
They are the ones, the majority who want a safe and peaceful environment in their estate.
They are also the ones who know best where the various "samseng kias" often meet...be it at or near a coffeeshop, near a 7-11 store, at a foodcourt, outside a mall, at a HDB void deck, at a Basketball court or some secluded corner of a field, at a designated location in a park etc..
Residents, through their RCs, NCs and Business community should form their own Anti-crime and Anti-SS taskforce to liase closely with police agencies.
Such taskforce should make their very 1st task by IDENTIFYING ALL KNOWN SS or SS elements irrespective of sex or age operating in their own area.
They should make notes and identify.....
Who they are.
Who controls them.
What school they come from.
Where do they live approximately.
Other details such as the name of their group, weapons seen, their type of offences.
Day and time of ss activity
Night and time of ss activity.
Residents should also observe if police have been carrying out checks regularly, infrequently or
even NONE at all.
Such feedback should be channelled OFFICIALLY to their MPs or higher authority to remedy the situation.
The Police cannot SOLVE all of society's ills. But Police need to reorganise their approach.
Everyone must do his or her part to help clear this scourge from our land.
EVERYONE....every Ah Pek, Ah Soh, Ahmad, Muthu, boy or girl, man or woman.
Every teacher, counsellor, Principal or educator.
Every father or mother who treasure the children they have.
Yes, everyone if you make even a small effort to be helpful and corncerned enough to do your part...you'll be surprised how fast these samseng kias will turn into the tamest pussy cats.

POLICE CRACKDOWN BEGINS...more suspects nabbed !

Kudos to the police again!
The relentless hunt by officers of the Secret Society Branch (SSB) and other Police agencies have not stopped. Known SS headmen and some of their underlings have been pulled in the island -wide crackdown. Many former headmen of such secret society gangs were detained or jailed for gang activity. When they were released after a lengthy spell in prison, some will try to keep a low profile for a while before resuming their control over the gang. Others make serious attempts at going straight, knowing full well...IT SIMPLY IS NOT WORTH IT TO BE IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW AGAIN. If caught again, they face even longer prison terms.
The ability to move about FREELY is one of the most important blessings for a human being.
In short....FREEDOM is a most precious commodity which many of us take for granted.
The samsengs know that but thinking they are all too clever for the police, did not reckon on being caught easily when they planned and prepared for their murderous crimes.

Looking at all those knives..many appeared to have been carefully wrapped with cloth fabric.
What does this mean?
1. Leave no fingerprints as to who used it.
2. Provide better grip in the frenzy of the attack
3. Also will mean premeditated and planned attack...no excuse to say, "we did not plan,
we were provoked, we bought them off the shelves from hardware stores"...as new knives have no wrappings on their handles.

In yesterday's newspapers, there were very detailed descriptions of the horrific injuries that were caused by these scumbags wielding these knives...on the poor victim. He was cut, slashed and chopped right to the bone while they pinned him down...cutting through his veins, cartilage,tendons, and major artery. It was a miracle he did not die!

What shall we call these scumbags...BUTCHERS ? KILLERS? WHAT indeed?
