I am quite curious on the different troupes here. Some of the troupes drummings sound very nice but some troupes basically play noises..
I think it got to do with the drums itself and the musical skill of the drummer. The worse ones is really irritating.
Lion dance troupes are not gangs. The traditional ones are registered as exercise clubs (tiyushe), not as martial art schools, since the term martial art school (wuguan) would be looked upon suspiciously by the authorities in the 1950s and 60s.
I also think lion dance troupes are gangsters. All look like gangsters. But I like to watch lion dance anyway, from aside.
His Chief Minister was either high on ganja, toddy or moonshine, so was Sang Nila Utama. Someone at that time, must have shouted, hiva that man a "Tiger". Ha ha ha ha ha

i hate people like you, judge people just by their mere appearance. Its people like you in the HR department that i hate most. typical brainless za bor that only knows how to talk about makeup and appearance. Ask you to do a simple task, out of 10 times 8 screw up. Spend over half a day deciding simple things like colour of a file.
There are M.D or Ph.D holders among these "gangsters"

The problem with lion dance isn't just noise pollution. It's also superstition. All lion dance troupes pray and burn joss and incense as part of the ritual. That's why you see mostly ah bengs looking like gangsters. Who says a MD or PhD, even just BA or MSc, can't be a gangster and superstitious? You daddy Ramseth is one good example who can be police and gangster at the same time, Christian and Buddhist at the same time. Like father like son. MTC degree. Master of talking cock.

You imbecile.
Lion dances are a cultural expression that is spectacular and boisterous. Football matches and rock concerts are very noisy too. Are you going to criticize them for the noise they produce? There are lion dance clubs in polytechnics and universities and I am sure they do not enforce the tradition of burning joss sticks. To the Chinese, burning joss sticks can regarded as a form of respect. It does not necessarily mean that the act is by itself superstitious. It is just something carried over from the past when traditions were a big thing.
You imbecile. Football matches and rock concerts are held in stadia, not roaming around the streets. Respect can be shown simply by bowing in a moment of silence.
Most of these brainless za bors are not even chio. They only got their jobs because they wear a skirt and can therefore be expected to put down their pride and serve refreshments to managers and visiting clients. Most HR people are just glorified administrative clerks.
