You will be surprised some adults think and behave in the same way. Some even in their 40s. I know a headman who said his 'real brothers' must be ex-55 chaps otherwise not 'real brothers' and this idiot is into his late 40s.

Haha. All these 55 fellas must be well paid by the headman. Extraordinary " talent" ya.

Not the case. Many came out after 3-6 years and realised no one to take care of them financially after one night of KTV and tarma in Geylang. Few succeed.

The three men initially accused of the murder of a young man at Central Square carpark had their charges reduced to voluntarily causing hurt and causing grievous hurt on Wednesday.

Desmond Neo Han Wen, 24, Lee Boon Leong, 23, and Poh Chong Heng, 27, were charged last December with the murder of Chen Zi Xuan, 21, while being part of an unlawful assembly at the carpark of Central Square at Havelock Road on Dec 3.

The prosecution tendered re-amended and fresh charges against the trio.

The three men are now said to have, together with another man, punched and kicked Mr Matthew Li, 24, and Mr Darren Matthias Chan, 21, at the carpark of Central Square that morning.

Second of four men who caused NSman's death jailed
Posted: 14 September 2012 1537 hrs

SINGAPORE: The second of four men accused of causing grievous hurt to a full-time national serviceman, who later died, has been sentenced to seven months' jail.

23-year-old Lee Boon Leong had punched the 21-year-old victim, Chen Zixuan, after a night of merry-making on December 3 2011.

Lee was with three friends - 24-year-old Desmond Neo Han Wen, 28-year-old Poh Chong Heng and 23-year-old Marcus Lee Han Wei - at the time of the offence.

The four men were headed for supper at Central Square at Havelock Road, shortly after 6am that day.

At the same time, another group comprising of the deceased, 24-year-old Matthew Li, 21-year-old Darren Matthias Chan and 21-year-old Andrea Lim Mei Chen blocked the path of the car Lee was in.

A fight broke out and Lee's group threw punches and kicked Chen, Li and Chan.

But the fight stopped after Chen said he dislocated his thumb.

At about the same time, an unidentified accomplice of Lee who is still at large, came to the scene and a second fight broke out.

Chen suffered a heavy punch to his face and collapsed to the ground.

While he managed to get home, Chen later died of his injuries.

Neo was the first to be dealt with in this case.

He was sentenced to seven months' jail in August 2012.
