Gangs Attacks

26 yo attacked in Yishun/Sembawang on 10 Nov. This attack comes after two gangs attacks that have resulted in 1 death, 7 injured and 40 arrests.
Is our country any safer now? Why so many youths turning to gangs? Is our schools just focused on developing the elites - mother's tongue, learning of languages, PSLE/IP - programmes (steaming/meritocratic - ranking)? What is the weightage and emphasis on moral education by MOE?
