Singapore Teenagers love Violence
At 2pm, a 19-year-old ITE Ang Mo Kio student was beaten up by a gang of 10 teenagers till he lost consciousness. As described by the victim, he was having a chit chat with his friend at a void deck in Bedok North when a group of boys came out from nowhere and wack the hell out of them.

According to the police, Singapore rioting cases involving teengers aged between 7-19 are increasing.
Year 2001 – 250 cases
Year 2002 – 446 cases
Year 2003 – 493 cases
Year 2004 – 512 cases
This victim must have offended someone knowingly or accidentally. Whatever the case, i still believe Singapore teenagers are getting out of hand these days because of a lack of supervision from their parents. Singapore working adults are now so busy with their work that they are becoming long term slave to their respective companies. They have less and less time for their children.
My formulas: An increase in riots = An increase in lazy parents
These parents are NOT RESPONSIBLE for their children. They should not have children in the first place if they cant afford the time to educate them, understand them and build a long term relationship with them. Most parents think it is a one time affair.
step1 – Get a new baby
step2 – Throw the baby to someone else to take care of (maids, grandparents)
step3 – Wait for him to grow up and take good care of them
If parents cant afford to give their full attention – PLEASE DONT BOTHER HAVING A BABY.

They should start hanging teenagers found guilty of murder too. Lower the hanging age to 13. And don’t hang them in Changi. Whip them them hang them on a crane during lunchtime on Saturday at City Hall MRT Vicinity or Orchard. Where there is crowd.
OR the police can have a special secret squad to crush them…Esp their trouble making spirit.
