When I showed this thread to my friends, they laugh at the part where go to the police and have to hooligans ensure your personnel safty for the next few days/weeks.
All felt that this is a kids talking, (no offence).
May be you have not gotten into "real trouble" before. Though singapore is a law-full country, police cant be everywhere and the same time. Before giving these types of advice, think through very carefully pls.
My case (real life experince) to share with all :
1) getting onto bus @ interchange during peak hour.
2) 3 school girls jump q to join ah beng friends (about 6 of them) in the front.
3) I squeeze through the crowd to get to the rear to as if they feel right doing this.
4) naturally, bf want to show his man hood (probably around 15-17yrs old).
5) challange me to a fight.
6) their big brother suddenly punch me from the back hitting my right face, corner of my right eye.
7) all the passenger suddenly fell asleep.
8) boy & girls got scared and pull him back.
9) went to make police report, but was told to go for check up after they took my statment.
10) @ 2200hr, took cab to JE poly clinic, was told there I will have to go hospital for x-ray if the medical records will be use in court.
11) took cab to AH, had x-ray.
12) took 1/2 day to go sub court get them to investigate.
13) judge kind of wanted me to play down and let go as he felt this is not a serious offence and will used up some of the police resources.
14) I insisted on them investigating.
15) receive letters from jurong police station stating they will look into the issue.
16) though in statement, i told them the schools the 3 girls are from and that the ah bengs hangs around my area and i can id them, 2 years down the road, nothing.
17) had to settle otherways, not that many CSer can, so will no elaborate.
So you see, be street smart. Unless.......
