Ang Soon Tong

Tan Chor Jin, nicknamed One-eye dragon, was a member of Ang Soon Tong. He is known for shooting a nightclub owner, Lim Hock Soon, to death with a Beretta Pistol inside Lim's flat at Serangoon, Singapore. After the shoot out, Tan fled to Malaysia and attempted to travel to Chiang Mai at Thailand, to escape justice. Tan was arrested by Royal Malaysia Police at a Hotel in Kuala Lumpur and was sentenced to death by Singapore's High Court in year 2007. He was hanged at dawn on 9 January 2009.[4][5]

In December 1995, the Ang Soon Tong gang clashed with the See Tong gang over a funeral banner. The gang members were arrested and imprisoned.[6]

Leong Fook Weng, a former Ang Soon Tong gang member went on to quit Ang Soon Tong and joined the Loh Kuan secret society. See Chee Keong and four other gang members decided to punish Leong for quitting the gang and assaulted Leong Fook Weng 4 times in total on 17 May 2000 in Singapore. One of the attacks was at the Upper Boon Keng Road. Another attack happened later at a petrol station near Tanjong Katong Road. The last attack on Leong happened between 4.30 a.m. to 6.30 a.m. at the vacant land. During the attack, See Chee Keong stabbed Leong's heart and neck with a 5-cm long blade hidden in a lighter, which resulted in Leong's death. A few hours later, Leong's body was discovered only in his underwear. See Chee Keong fled to Thailand on 18 May 2000, a day after the assault on Leong. In December 2000, See was arrested at Phnom Penh International Airport in Cambodia while attempting to smuggle illegal drugs to Kuala Lumpur. See was charged in Cambodian court and sentenced to 18 years of imprisonment for drug trafficking. After serving sentence in prison for 13 years, See received a royal pardon and was released on 26 November 2013 and was deported to Singapore.

On 20 April 2016, See and two other Ang Soon Tong gang members involved in the murder, Robson Tay Teik Chai and William Ho Kah Wei were charged in Singapore court and sentenced to imprisonment and caning for murdering Leong Fook Weng. The two other fugitives, Ong Chin Huat and Lim Hin Teck, were still on the run at that time.[7]

In 2019, Julius Chen, a resident of Yishun, Singapore, alleged on social media that a member of Ang Soon Tong had extorted $100 from him. Chen apparently subsequently saw the member again at a coffee shop at Block 414 on 30 March 2019, where he attempted to retrieve his money. The member responded by claiming that he was an Ang Soon Tong gang member and made a phone call for backup. Six Indian men allegedly later arrived at the coffee shop, threatening Chen. The police later arrived and separated Chen and the gang, giving a warning to the gang.[8][9]

Ang Soon Tong attempted to control areas in Klang, a city in Malaysia, by sending gang members with parangs and katanas to assault two gardening contractors who refused to pay for the gang's extortion at a construction site in Pulau Indah on 4 September 2015. The gardening contractors were fatally injured and hospitalized. The Royal Malaysia Police later arrested 12 Ang Soon Tong gang members and issued a wanted notice to search for the local gang leader.[10]
