MHA to review gangs, youth violence laws (Wei Sheng)

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1093798/1/.html

I feel that the recent Downtown East incident and a couple of incidents that later occurred have been a wake-up call to the public as well as the government. However, the article stated, 'Minister of State for Education and Home Affairs, Masagos Zulkifli, said the review would take between six and nine months.' With what the source had said, I feel that this situation needs to be taken care of immediately as more problems would arise indefinitely, however the review requires between six to nine months. Probably because I do not understand how the whole politics issue works about, I feel that the review is too long of a time. In this six to nine months period, numerous incidents may occur.


However, I may need to applaud the Minister as, 'he cautioned against over-using legislation and oversimplifying the solution to the recent problems, which are multi-faceted and need customised solutions.' I feel that most of the parents felt that problems that their child experience is nothing and they would all go through a rebellious stage, and that is how parents oversimplifies the situation, however this may lead to undesirable consequences such as their child joining a bad company. In conclusion, I am still glad that the government sector is trying their best to address this situation.
