Two STOMPers were shocked to read about yet another slashing case in the papers today. Eight youths, armed with parangs and metal rods, went around attacking 20 innocent bystanders last night (Nov 8) at Bukit Panjang.
Six of the bystanders were conveyed to the hospital, with four of them discharged for minor injuries. The other two suffered slashes to their neck and back. The victims were aged between 14 to 20 years old.
According to eyewitnesses, there were seven or eight attackers. They carried parangs and metal rods. Before attacking, they shouted 'sah lak kau' which means '369' in the Hokkien dialect.
The attackers were all very tall and of big build, with dark complexions. It was also reported that one of those involved in the skirmish but escaped unhurt was an 8-year-old boy who had encountered the youths after a game of football.
The father of one of those injured said, "After the Downtown East case, I asked my son to go home earlier. I did not expect my son to be attacked even when he went out just to play football."
Said STOMPer jo of the incident:
"Think after the first case at Downtown East, it's like a boost injection for all gang members...
"Apparently '369' members went to Bukit Panjang which is homeground to another gang 'Ba Hai Tong'.
"I think there's more of such cases in future to come.
"Work hard SSB (Secret Society Branch) CID!"
STOMPer Gao Luck was also shocked by this incident. He questions:
"I was shocked to hear another case of a gang fight involving 15 teenagers in Bukit Panjang where seven teens had a 20cm-long parang with them.
"Eventually 6 were injured in the clash.
"What has happened to our society?
"Why are teens carrying parangs out?
"One doesn't need a knife to cut their after-meal fruit."
