The first wave of migrants from China brought along with them secret societies like the Ghee Hin and Hai San from the Shaolin Temples to Singapore and Malaya.
They started to control the tin-mining areas and set up prostitution, gambling, opium smuggling and "protection" syndicate.
They did it because they knew it was too lucrative business a business and hence became fearless. Lots of money was made.
With the passage of time, the locals came to accept them and their continued presence among them in the kampongs and heartlands.
The British-controlled police force here was IMPOTENT as they were all susceptible to corruption hence easy to "buy over".
Today, the second wave is here as "invited guests" of the government.
So please be prepared for more Trouble And Crime Years ahead as these foreign gangland "ambassadors" set about "conquering their "territories" through murder and mayhem.
Pinoys, Indians and PRC guys are already terrorising our local people into subservience via chidings over Facebook, etc.........
The police today seems to sit back and relax and the authorities have not hesitated to take "sides" with these trouble-makers in our midst much to the chagrin of locals.
It takes time for a seed to become a plant, a tree and then a flower waiting for the arrival of the fruit.
In the same vein, sooner or later these people will become the "Singapore Corleones" and hold the SPF at ransom..
Every journey starts with the first step. They are planting their seed now............
If not curtailed in time, curry will have to be banned and many an innocent lives will be lost.
