Man slashed in Yishun: Why teen gangs still out of control despite police crackdown?


STOMPer anti gangsterism wonders what is happening to our youths these days after three teenagers were arrested in connection with a slashing incident at Yishun Ring Road yesterday (Dec 8).

In statement to STOMP, a police spokesman said that three male youths, aged between 13 and 18 years old, were arrested for slashing a 23-year-old man at Yishun yesterday evening:

"Police received a call yesterday at about 5:50pm requesting for assistance at Block 362 Yishun Ring road.

"A man in his early 20s sustained injuries to his arms and legs and was conveyed conscious to Khoo Teck Puat hospital.

"Three male youths aged between 13 to 18 years old were arrested subsequently in connection to the incident.

"Police investigations are on-going."

STOMPer anti-gangsterism wrote:

"The victim was 23 years old and the suspect is just 13 years of age?

"This 13-year-old boy should be going to school and go back home straight after it, not loitering and slashing people.

"'Mama and papa' should have taken good care of this 13-year-old yakuza wannabe."

This slashing case comes after two high-profile cases of gang attacks, including the fatal slashing of 19-year-old Darren Ng on Oct 30.

The other incident happened at Bukit Panjang.
