Recently, Singapore has been hit by plenty of youth choppings around. Young gangsters, coming down and ending up with staring incidents, even randomly chopping people around in the Bukit Panjang area.

I think that the first incident at Downtown East unacceptable that a small conflict could be escalated to such a scale. The second incident is just fucked up.

Absolutely, beyond my comprehension. Why would you randomly start hacking people? That is an absolutely sign of insanity. I honestly think whoever that is involved should be royally fucked left right center. From every single direction, everybody concerned. There's no reason to have started anything like that at all. Absolutely ridiculous.

Whatever, in this post, I am not interested in talking about the events itself, but rather, the possible reasons for such incidents in the first place. We can't help but question ourselves, is it the problem with education? Family? Social Security?

I think that, in the end, the biggest problem lies not with anyone else, but the individual itself. He who cannot think or control his own actions, have to answer for it. As simple as that. I understand that everyone could be influenced by the environment, but it is an excuse when it comes to serious issues like chopping people with choppers and carrying choppers around.

What do these people think they are? Gangsters? No, they do not have a blood bond like the triads. Mafia? No, they are not as professional as the Italians.

What they are, are Ruffians, they are youths that decided to follow the idiot before them that decided that it was a good idea to go around and chopping people.

The more I type this post, the more I realize I'm getting pissed by the point that these incidents happened. Many things have made me worry about the abilities of my own generation, and while I have met exceptional people around, I am more and more disappointed at the situation around this generation of youths.

PM Lee has stated in the National Day Rally earlier in the year that we should not be worried about the youths of the future, as they would come and settle down, eventually bringing the country to the next level.

I disagree. I think that within a generation, it only takes one powerful idiot to screw everything up. In history, it has always been one person to change the world for the worse.

We have to make sure that one person doesn't exist. For our sake.
