What's So Big Deal About Secret Societies?
Was down at a relative's wake last evening with the family at Upper Changi. It was a Christian family so there were prayers and gospels songs when we reached. It was kinda ironical to see the christians sitting in rows hearing the gospel preached but right opposite them was a group of coarse looking men drinking carlsberg and gambling poker and mahjong.
I mean, yea, what's the fuss about these men right? But they are no ordinary men lor. Initially there were like only 2-3 tables of them, but with a blink of an eye, they started to like occupy most of the available tables there, self-serviced with the food and beer and treated the wake like their usual gang gathering.
It was kinda sad to see boys, yes I mean boys, (they are hardly 18!!) puffing and drinking away, mouth spouting all kinda vulgarities and body tattoos spilling out of their shirts. Don't they have anything better to do then these?
And what's so great about all these gang thingy? We were in the middle of a conversation when this more elderly guy stood up from the crowd, shouted something in Hokkien and the rest started to pause what they were doing and headed the way to the coffin. I freezed for a second, thinking that a gang fight might erupt. Maybe there were drunk? Maybe they were pissed losing money at the games? My heartbeat skipped a beat. But no no...they actually gathered together to pay respect to the deceased like what you see in the Hong Kong series (Gu Ah Zai?!).
They shouted slogans, they bowed to pay respect, and they left shortly after that. I was huh? You mean such things still exist in the 21st century?? So drama? So gung-ho? I nearly wanted to laugh my heads off. Oh yah, they are from this gang called Hua Shan Pai. Ever heard of it?
Just imagine, they did this in the public. What could they have possibly done when they are alone? Undergroung activities? Drug trafficking? Pimping? Gang fights? Collecting protection money from innocent shop owners? Sorry but I can't seem to see them from another perspective and link them to evil acts. And if such gang exist, I'm sure there are alot more out there, just that we're not exposed to them.
They think they are very suk with the secret societies? I think they more like sucks in them. Get a life people!
