Wake up Call

The recent brutal cases involving gang fight is a wake up call for everyone. First murder at Downtown East, then Rampage at Bukit Panjang. There are many questions left unanswered.

What are the authorities doing to curb the escalation of gang violence? Have our home team been too complacent over the last decade or overly involved with countering terrorism? Gang violence have fallen since late 70s till 80s. Did these violence rose recently or it has already been there but yet to surface?

What are our teenager doing? Time have changed and there are a couple of few who still believe gangs will treat them best. Are they influence by media or internet or lack of love from family? I seriously think our teenagers are more non chalent now but hey, I think I am still wrong. Some still love gangs.

What about our parents? Are they doing enough or are they overly obesessive with pursing their dreams? Era have changed, mindsets have change, even the way kids are bought up have changed. Some parents love to refer to the old days but its hard to apply now. Kids are influence by many external factors, thus it is necessary to keep close eye of them. Some may argue, giving them sufficient love should curb the problem. I do agree. Well, there are times it may still be hard to control.

Check this out. Something I got from STOMP.

Well well, nice pix and full of love from these young kids.
