In the video, the man could be seen cursing at another person on the phone and challenging the man to meet up in Punggol, possibly for a face-to-face settlement.
The Ang Soon Tong is a historic local secret society which has been in existence since the 1950s. Some of its illicit activities include gun-smuggling, drugs, illegal moneylending and illegal gambling.
The infamous “One-eyed Dragon”, Tan Chor Jin, who shot a nightclub owner in Singapore several times before attempting to flee prosecution in Singapore was also an Ang Soon Tong member. He was hanged for committing murder.
For being part of an unlawful society, the security guard faces up to a $5,000 fine and/or 3 years jail.
