Gang related uncles or just uncles idling and chatting away?

Okay I better clarify why I asked the question in the first place.. otherwise people all think I too free nothing to do ask this type of question:

Thoughts on who the uncles were before I actually started this thread,:

1) Masterminds behind gangs / geylang houses / whatsoever
2) Lookouts for police as they are strategically located at the start of a one way street, though halfway through

It didn't occur to me that these uncles are like those uncles sitting at coffee shop, relaxing their time away.

Thanks bros for clearing it up!!

Same liked what the talk show, last eve S Talking. A guess mention sitting at coffeeshop, suddenly ppl shouted, "mata lei! mata lei!". He said the ppl giving alarms were not only locals, other countries ppl too. Followed by drivers will run towards vehicles, put stickers or drive away.

The cultures my friends, this country culture, coffeshops everywhere same, ppl hanging around w/o reasons. Live with it.
