MHA to review gangs, youth violence laws (Cheryl)

I feel that the government should not overlook or underestimate how much impact gangs and youth violence have on others. The recent Downtown east murder case, and the armed rioting at Bukit Panjang has proven that the government should take serious actions against youth violence and secret society activities.

The Downtown east incident and armed rioting at Bukit Panjang has traumatised many out there, and after the 2 incidents, i started to wonder if Singapore is still a safe place to stay at. Children have to take more caution and even adults have to be more alert ever since what happened at the Downtown east and Bukit Panjang. It seems to me that the police force are not doing their job well enough. I agree that the government should come up with measures such as reviewing gangs and setting youth violence laws, as mentioned in the article.

It is important that a country is a safe place for its citizens to stay at, as it does not concerns only one person, it concerns the country as a whole. Therefore, it is a need for the singapore government to implement measures to address youth violence issues.
