Synopsis :

The proliferation of crime earned Singapore the nickname “Chicago of the East” in the 70s. With gun smuggling and triad activities being commonplace, the Police found themselves dealing with gang conflicts and armed robberies on a daily basis. From the countless cases, Abdul Wahab Hassan and Mustapha Hassan stood out. The brothers started on petty crimes before progressing to armed robberies. A shoot-out at Labrador between Mustapha and a detective eventually landed Mustapha in police custody. But this was not a deterrent to older brother Wahab Hassan, who attempted a hospital siege just to rescue his brother.
