Curfew on youths

in 10 years time, this boy will grow up and say the same thing to the mother.

Probably.
Parents' expectation are often pretty absurd. They expect you be to exemplary while they themselves are never close to being so.
When my mother realises that she's lost the argument, I'd always hear her say, "It doesn't matter if I'm right, or wrong. I am your mother. You should never speak to me in that manner." Or something in that vein. That's her golden line, albeit grossly cliched.
I'd tell her to 'practise what you preach.' And not to scream at me just because she's frustrated. I'd ask her if that's what she's teaching me. And then she'll use her bloody golden line. Again.
It's rather ironic. But sometimes, we just have to understand that they, like us, are human too. And that they simply want the best from and for us.

Seems like the police just want to use this as an excuse to have some sort of control over teens.

wah lau.. you think police want to do more work issit?? if i were a policeman on duty, i rather spend time watching EPL in the station!!

hahaha, were they even doing anything in the first place?
Anyway it'll be their routine inspections, when I go to Sengkang I see them just walking around compass point and patrolling some areas. Maybe after this curfew takes place they'll just be doing the same, except asking for ID and such.

So it'll just take em a few more kilojoules of energy. Hard work meh? lol.

Point is, I'm rather neutral about it. Since it doesn't affect me( typical singaporean attitude) or my buddies. However, I'm against it because I really think there's more than meets the eye.

Kinda contradicting, huh. :?
 
Let me just say, even if i dont agree with the curfew and i think its harsh and strict, at least the government is trying to do something about youths and social issues.

It is unsafe to walk around Australia at night, hell ive had friends mugged and watched as my mate was thrown up agsinst a wall in a park at 3pm and had a knife pulled on his neck when he was threatened by the Sydney version of the bloods.

Singapore is a very safe place and i think alot of you take it for granted.
 
i cannot remember how many times someone shouted, "Hey, you got a Quarter?"

woohooo!!! run as fast as I can!!!
 
I think it's just stupid if the government goes in to prevent ppl under 17 outside after 11. I agree with neil humphfrey (sp?). That's a parent's responsiblity, not the gahmen's... And in singapore it's relatively safe anyway at night. What happened to the police? Remember those ads with the police car? "because of us, you can sleep peacefully at night" or something like that? In cities like Jakarta, they find bodies in some random river every week.

My friend was complaining how he might get caught because he works until midnight though he's under 17. They should at least have exceptions.
 
the goverment acts worst then my mom!!...I mean my parents gave me freedom..whut about the goverment???...this makes young singaporeans more rebellious in some ways even though im not affected but hey!!..whuts the point of keepin them at home???..rot??...tsk3..i won't be shock in 5 years time there will be riot goin on against teh goverment??...whut more can they want???...
 
god...my mom always told me to fulfil my duties as a student. study. get good grades. don't cause trouble. i'll get to do wad i want. so IF i'm a straight A student, i play DotA till 11pm with friends, and get caught by police on the way home, that is going to be a very ironic situation.

btw, i'm NOT a straight A student. i can pass. and that's what my mom at least expects of me.
 
im not evn 17 yet bt...oh well. i always smoke ard the fuzz. adults approach me for lighters. street advertisers/merchandise promoters get shocked learning im not 21. so fck this shit. nitrovo & warlord: they cant cancel yer dependant pass nor put yer dad outta job. strats: shuttup ur too young to b speaking abt the fuzz. n ur nt bald.
