THE police have arrested nine men who were among some 500 people attending the funeral of a notorious gangster in Clementi last Friday.
In a statement to the media yesterday, the police said the nine men, aged between 21 and 41, were arrested for suspected involvement in gang activities and that investigations are proceeding.
The men were among the huge crowd of family members and friends who had gathered at Block 611, Clementi Street 1, where the wake and funeral procession of Woon Eng Kong was held.
The 48-year-old Woon, better known as 'Amara Ah Chang', had died under mysterious circumstances in Johor after being on the run from the Singapore authorities for almost a year.
After he was arrested for drug possession in October 2009, he failed to appear in court in March last year. An arrest warrant was then issued.
Two weeks ago, he was caught by Malaysian police in Johor Baru for breaking into a church there. But two days later, he was found hanged in a psychiatric hospital and Johor police are now investigating the case as murder.

This is why you should not join a gang.
You don't attend the boss's funeral, the other members will come and thrash you.
You attend the boss's funeral, the police will come and thrash you.
It's a lose-lose situation.
