A birthday party at a chalet turned into an unhappy occasion for a family after they were involved in a brawl with several youths.
According to Lianhe Wanbao, Mdm Noraini, 39, had booked a chalet at the Pasir Ris Costa Sands resort on 15 March to celebrate her husband's birthday.
Late in the night after the party, eight of the youngsters decided to go explore the nearby Pasir Ris park.
Shortly after, Mdm Noraini's daughter called to say that she was not feeling well and wanted to return to the chalet to rest.
Mdm Noraini's son, Shafiq, 20, together with his friend Zulkifli, offered to accompany Mdm Noraini to the back gate of the chalet compound to pick up the girl.
On their way to the back gate, the trio walked past a group of youths who were staring at them.
Shafiq warned his mother that the youths seemed to be looking for trouble, but Mdm Noraini told her son to ignore the youths.
After picking up her daughter, Mdm Noraini encountered the group of youths again while returning to the chalet.
With the youths still staring, Shafiq made a sign at them and asked them what they wanted.
According to Mdm Noraini, one of youths jumped up and started hurling insults at her.
Outraged, Shafiq threw a punch at them and the two groups started brawling.
The police arrived shortly and arrested both Shafiq and his friend. Police later arrested another three youths believed to be involved in the brawl, two of them aged 15, and another aged 22.
An 18-year-old youth was also sent to the hospital.
The five will be charged in court for rioting. If convicted, they each face up to 7 years of jail time and may be caned.
