Well a little more insight into Asia and this time Singapore. There are gangsters everywhere in the world that's for sure. Well you don't see a lot of them in Singapore cause law enforcement is pretty tight but she does get her fair share of street punks. The "Ah Bengs" is what the locals call them. This characters are usually teens....and we all know the problems with teens heh. They get into brawls from time to time, some petty crimes here and there and matter of fact is that they actually do form a small part of Singapore's culture. Now the issue with this "Ah Bengs" is of course not as simple as it seems. While some of them may be tiny independent groups others are part of a larger picture. That's about as far as I can safely go on the topic for now...but the fun thing is that these folks have some kind of gang mottos or whatever and they are in rap form! Below is another video link where some of the more creative of the lot actually got together a music video yes a music video of their gang motto. I'm sure it was done in the name of fun or even some kind of flim project base on the quality and I'm also sure somebody already has their eyes on them. Its tight. Well putting that inside it does provide a glimpse into Singapore's pop culture.
