A 26-year-old auxiliary policeman bumped into a youth on the way to the supermarket. For this, he was beaten up by 7 youngsters. STOMPer Toomuch feels severe punishment is needed to make an example of them.
This is the latest in a series of violent attacks involving gangs of youths that have occurred all over Singapore, in places as diverse as Bukit Panjang and Ang Mo Kio.
A group of youths was also found with a pair of concealed choppers at a Pasir Ris chalet, while two teenagers have been placed in a Reformative Training Centre for knifing fellow students.
Although these incidents are believed to be unrelated, they were all caused by trivial events such as staring and arguments.
STOMPer Toomuch wrote:
"These violent incidents involving youths are seriously getting out of hand.
"Time and again we hear of incidents where members of the public are getting targeted by youngsters spoiling for a fight.
"This time, an innocent auxiliary policeman just passing by was attacked, because he was walking in the opposite direction of a group of youngsters. He tried to squeeze past them, and was beaten bloody for it.
"These youths have no respect for the law and are just out to pick fights with people in public.
"We need to arrest these people and really make an example of those caught by caning or jailing them. That's the only way they will learn that the law is not to be messed around with."
STOMPer Gao Luck also commented:
"Yet again I heard of another case of a gang fight at Teck Whye over the radio.
"Come on, when will all these attacks stop?"
