POLICE TIP OFF
Grassroots leaders foil bid

They tip off police about meeting a father had set up to persuade gang to let his teenage son quit

A TEENAGER and his father turned up at a Hougang coffee shop on Saturday night for a talk with a group of men to persuade them to let the teen leave the gang. What could have been an ugly confrontation was averted when grassroots leaders got wind of the meeting and tipped off the police. Uniformed officers turned up at the coffee shop at Block 118, Hougang Avenue 1, shortly before 10pm, and found no signs of any talks. But following investigations there, they arrested two men, in their early 40s, on the spot. One who armed himself with a metal pole is expected to be taken to court today. Police are still investigating the second man.

40s and still in gang, walking around with a metal pole. He should be jailed for his stupidity... nothing better to do with his life?

Always knew he was a dog but i didn't know he was a grassroot dog as well!

Well give him some credit, at least he tipped off the police and dared to tell the world by appearing in the newspapers. In other countries, the gangsters will go after him.

A dog is always a dog who serves his masters well; usually their traits never change or waver

The gangsters concerned do not need to go after him but the son or the father.

If this lionel dog is a real veteran of ex-CID, he should join in the settlement talk.

His action shows that he is good for bragging but not in real action.

That explains why he always has to lick the PAP's balls on the ST.

This Lionel guy is also chairman of some condo in the East. Heard he runs the place like his personal empire. And residents lan lan.

If even this type of credit, glory and publicity he craves, he cannot go lower.
No difference from the time he was a policeman. If it is in your DNA it stays.

Craving for attention to what he is doing for a living...cheap publicity, no need to pay the shit times for advertisement...

Not possible, he's so old. He's just doing his part for reassurance, "will you need me, will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four" - Beatles.

Being an ex-cop but he goes round thinking he is invincible... Does he still carries a gun?

pocoyo, y should a retired police man join in the talk? please!!! a lot of sinkapoorean got the same stupid mentality as u! they will even go to ask other gang to "talk" to the gang they are in trouble with for them!!! climb out from this shit hole and jump into another shit hole!!!

if kena threatened by gang or wat, just report to police and make known to them that this is involving gangs activities. let the CID SSB go and deal with the gang, not anyone else. they are paid to do the job.

this father also stupid! why must go and "talk" to those gang for the son??? let SSB handle!!! all this mother fucker gang dare not 1 to 1, but 10 to 1 or with dangerous weapons. only endanger himself and the son!!!

i really dont know why people here like to play according to the rules of the gang, like what settlement talk or let another gang handle for u. this is all stupid! think wat? get lawyer fight case in court??? siao!!! gangs in singapore all illegal, CID got one SSB or secret societies branch to deal with them. let them round them up and use the famous 55 to deal with those gangsters. WHY MUST WE INNOCENT MEMBERS OF PUBLIC PLAY ACCORDING TO RULES OF THE GANGSTERS??? PLS WAKE UP!!! LET SSB HANDLE!!! :oIo: STUPID!!!
