How many members did they have and what's the diff bet 24 hokkien and canto?
I guess 24 canto is lo kuan.
32 I'd estimate about 100+ only at prime time. Not really a big gang. My bro joined, courtesy of permission from my uncle who retired from 24. I didn't and couldn't officially join of course, as I joined 999 then.
24 Hokkien was active in Jalan Besar-Rochor (small town 小坡). 24 Canto was active in Chinatown-Redhill (big town 大坡).
32 has no name, just number. It's not a nationwide gang, just active in Kallang-Bendemeer-Whampoa in 70s to 90s. The elders were mostly Teochews, Orh Pei Khiang (Pres. of fighting), Ah Yao (VP of loansharking division), Ah Bei (VP of bookmaking division), Ah Hong and my brother (VPs of Youth Wing). Mostly disbanded and retired.
Some dead. Ah Hong died after an industrial accident. My bro went married in Malaysia. Orh Pei Khiang on the run to Indonesia. Ah Yao and Ah Bei retired to run hawker stalls. These people were all boxers. Famous for one punch knock-out call ambulance. They were all 24 (Hokkien) friendly, But not much jiak-puek (eat-talk) with 24 (Cantonese).
Bro, or phuay still around lah. Running KTV town area last I heard. Good fighter yes, but not well-liked. Not aware they had branches in Kallang and Whampoa.
Their best fighter should be Sah Bee. Used to train chaps at old PA. Incarcerated in NZ for many years. I think he was in Pulau Senang during that infamous incident.
Sar Ji means hok teo kuan - hokkien, teochew and hainanese. Formed when kena bullied by the Cantonese. These days, low key.
hi guys,
was there a gang called 24 Gi Hai Kim, was this a new gang or older gang and where were their territories?
Been around long enough, its under the 义 header with others like Gi Leng Hor, Gi Leng Kiat etc. Back when Jurong east and west were just becoming HDB estates. These few groups made forays there. I believe till today their stronghold still there.
Little trivia, Gi Leng Kiat was actually very popular back in the 80s with more members than their cousin gangs due to the impressionable youngsters who joined like the gang name simply because it rhymes with 李連杰 who just became famous for his role in the movie Shaolin Temple.
