Youth who are involved in gang activities should be jailed and caned. They are a total nuisance to society. Even if they are jailed, taxpayers have to pay for their living expenses incurred in prison. What a waste.

There is a Chinese saying about solving the problem on the surface,
but not the root cause. Rounding them up and putting them into jail
is a short cut way that is not the solution.
The parents are too busy to show concern, love and company to their children, and the Govt is over-emphasising on grades and achievment in schools.
What about moral and civic eduaction, it's simply not worth a cent in schooling nowadays.
Even if the child is not academically good in his school, he may be good at other ways, as every profession could create an
A-Star scholar.
Look at solving the root of the problem.
