YF - SEVEN YOUTHS WERE INJURED WHEN MORE THAN 50 SECRET SOCIETY THUGS AMBUSHED A FUNERAL PROCESSION IN ANAMALAI AVENUE, OFF THE 6TH MILE, BUKIT TIMAH ROAD. THE GANGSTERS, BELIEVED TO BE MAMBERS OF GROUP 24, SPRANG FROM BEHIND THICK BLUKAR AND JUMPED DOWN FROM TREES TO ATTACK THEIR VICTIMS. ALL WERE ARMED WITH PARANGS, DAGGERS AND BOTTLES. THE MOURNERS HAD JUST ALIGHTED FROM THEIR THREE LOORIES AND THE PALL-BEARERS WERE CARRYING THE COFFIN UP TO THE CEMETERY WHEN THEY WERE ATTACKED.
