Disturbing Downtown East Murder

Disturbing. A 19 year old boy could be slashed at Downtown East in a Saturday afternoon.
Distressing. Now another 4 will be charged for manslaughter.
1 young fella died, 4 to accompany.
Depressing. What is happening to our society?

If this was in the 60s, understandable. That period of era, had these huge influence of secret societies. If this happens in Malaysia, understandable too.
Maybe should put it this way, can a secret society survive in Singapore? To be able to function, you require rank, power and financial means. Usually the financial means requires a certain monopoly of trades. In Singapore, secret society should find it very very difficult to survive.

If that's the case, what's happening to our youth?
Identity. Friendship. Family.
Sadly, these 3 things also seem to be the core variables for a patient who is depressed.
For a patient who refuses treatment.
For a patient who wants to commit suicide.
For people who are really really unhappy.

So.. do you know who are you?
Do you have close friends? Are they supporting and nurturing?

Most importantly... when is the last time you closely talk happily to your parents or siblings? Not argue.
