MALAYSIA INCORPORATED

From The Star 12/07/2010 : Most students join “naughty groups” in schools because they want to show off, says MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong.

“There is no serious gangsterism in schools these days. These teenagers are just mischievous or have mixed with the wrong crowd,” he said.

“This is because we have yet to hear reports of them drinking blood or walking on fire as a rite of passage to join a gangster group,” he said.

“They just fill in their names on a piece of paper. I don’t think that sounds convincing,” he said.

After reading that short passage above, I burst out laughing. I think our MCA Datuk Michael Chong watches too much HK movies la. You don't need to be a professor or have a doctorate degree to know that gangster-ism doesn't just involve going around with a meat cleaver or bicycle chain, have fancy intake programs and slashing people like a big timer. It also includes terrorizing people and roaming around causing havoc like a s0ha!. (BTW, you don't need to be in a gang to be gangsta. Just act like one will do).
