    The Brothers Hassan: Ten Dollars and Two Graves

    A detective lay on the damp ground, a bullet in his neck, his own weapon just two feet away, his mind screaming for his fingers to move, but his body refused. What could drive two brothers, one calm and deadly, the other reckless and hot-tempered, to a point where ten dollars becomes the haunting arithmetic of their demise?

    In this episode, we delve into the true story of Muhammad Mustafa Hassan and Abdul Wahab Hassan, two brothers whose lives intertwined with Singapore's underworld in 1972. We explore the escalating violence, the black market firearms, and the fateful encounters that led to a detective's near-death experience and a series of events that still defy simple explanation.

    Person: Muhammad Mustafa Hassan
    Person: Abdul Wahab Hassan
    Location: Singapore
    Date: 1972
    Status: Two brothers dead

    - Armed robberies in Singapore more than doubled from 1968 to 1971.
    - Steven Low, known as Shanghai Boy, recruited the brothers and acquired five pistols from Bangkok.
    - Wahab fired three shots at Madame Chan and her family during a jewelry shop robbery, all missing.
    - Detective David Chan was shot in the neck with a chrome-plated pistol while undercover in Labrador.
    - Mustafa believed David Chan was dead, a mistake that would lead to strange consequences.
