Eight men, aged between 22 and 45, will be charged in court on 30 July 2020 for being members of an unlawful society under Section 14(3) of the Societies Act.

Police investigations revealed that the eight men had chanted gang slogans to show off their secret society affiliation during a funeral service held at Mandai Crematorium Service Hall on 24 August 2019.

The offence of being members of an unlawful society carries a fine not exceeding $5,000, or an imprisonment term of up to 3 years, or both.

The police have zero tolerance towards secret society activities and will not hesitate to take action against those who choose to be associated with gangs and blatantly disregard the law.
