		<description>i was speaking to singaporean friends of mine and they say
the rumor is that mas selamat died in custody and his purported escape was a
cover up. really....?

well, singaporeans, it is time to wake up and smell the horrors of your government.

A friend sent me this following the other day and I thought it was brilliant. Perfect argument to use to get your Minister WKS to resign!

Very interesting..... its either you educate your maid or face the
consequences.

*The following passage does not represent my views on the matter but the
logic looks acceptable.*
* *
*There are several simple reasons why many Singaporean employers are
reluctant to give their maids a day off.*
* *
*You see, if the maid runs away, the government will fine the employer
$5,000. *
*If the maid commits a crime such as shoplifting, the government will fine
the employer $5,000.*
* *
*If the maid is caught having sex with someone, the government will fine the
employer $5,000. *
*If the maid gets pregnant, the government will also fine the employer
$5,000.*
* *
*If you didn&#039;t know any of the above, then either you do not employ a maid,
or you didn&#039;t read the small print of the Manpower Ministry&#039;s work permit
conditions.*
* *
*Many employers are afraid that if their maid has a day off and gets into
trouble, the employer will not only have to solve the trouble, but also have
to fork out $5,000 as a free gift to the government.*

*Intuitively, this smacks of gross unfairness. The employer gets punished
not for something he did, but for something that somebody else (the maid)
did. Furthermore, once the maid leaves the employer&#039;s residence, the
employer has no way of monitoring where the maid goes and what she does
there.*
* *
*We may draw a curious parallel with Mas Selamat&#039;s escape, and PM Lee&#039;s
determined, if muddled, defence of Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng in
Parliament.*
*Mas Selamat ran away. But PM Lee said that Wong Kan Seng was not at fault
and should not be punished in any way. *
*The reason being that Wong Kan Seng personally did not do anything which
allowed Mas Selamat to escape.*
* *
*Strangely, if your maid runs away, it **IS** your fault and you
**SHOULD**be punished.
*
*Even if you did not personally do anything to let her run away (apart from
giving her a day off).*
* *
*Similarly, if your maid becomes pregnant, it IS your fault and you SHOULD
be punished. *
*Even if you did not personally do anything to make her pregnant.*
* *
*Oh well. What can I say? Maids are not terrorists. But then you are not
Wong Kan Seng. *
*So the rules remain stacked against you. Wong Kan Seng gets off lightly,
but you won&#039;t. *
*Even if his lapse has far greater, and graver, implications than yours.*
* *
*Your runaway maid wouldn&#039;t blow up Changi Airport, would she?*</description>

		<description>19 days and still counting... what the heck is goverment and the related authority putting up an effort to capture the JI leader?? It seem like there&#039;s no news and sign that HE&#039;s still in singapore? and yet they can still very convinced that HE won&#039;t be able to escaped from singapore.. HAHAHAHA.. What the clues and evidence show that HE don&#039;t have the resources to sneak away from here??? If they can be so sure really there&#039;s no one is helping him, how come the authority have used so much of resources and alternatives, yet it&#039;s seem like HE&#039;s vanishing from the air.. Is really a debate and doubtful over the capability of the gov.. if the ICA can find a way to improve the congestion at Woodland checkpoint, how come there&#039;s no suggestion to ease the congestion at Tuas checkpoint too?? Really in doubt the way of the traffic flow control by the authority?? To build a first class facilities, yet under utilised the usage, it seem like wasting so much of money.. Can the authority kindly advise the reason why on the departure hall D2 are the only operational passageway for user??? then what is the point the departure hall D1 and D3 build for?? For the sake of showing off???</description>

		<description>when the election comes, our 1st class Govt will give out $$$ as Candies again. Their speeches will sound like lullaby to most yet... again. This JI escape will be buried in who-knows-where. i don&#039;t understand why ppl are happy when Govt give out $$. it will be taken back eventually when they spent.

what i want to see now is that the ppl responsible for the negligent to be taken to task. Be it resignation or sacked, whichever. i don&#039;t want to hear excuses like &quot;the escape shows that we are not infallible&quot; from the same ppl.

i read from somewhere &amp; don&#039;t know how true is it:
Salary of the current S&#039;pore PM = salary of US president + Japan&#039;s PM + another PM (i forgot where)
This means that his salary is equivalent to the sum of 3 leaders in other countries

If S&#039;poreans pay premium salaries to the top jobs in government, we / at least i expect premium service, not premium excuses for failure. Those who cannot perform, pls exterminate.

i would really like to see the Govt taken by the Opposition Parties when MM Lee is still alive.</description>

<p>If S&#8217;poreans pay premium salaries to the top jobs in government, we / at least i expect premium service, not premium excuses for failure. Those who cannot perform, pls exterminate.</p>
<p>i would really like to see the Govt taken by the Opposition Parties when MM Lee is still alive.</p>

		<description>Anyway, I doubt that the coffers will give any rational reasons about Selamat&#039;s escape but    the case will be reopened in election day again so that the government can gain their so-called mandate.

Now make sure that the opposition party do their best not to make any minor mistakes because a peanut mistake will be blown out of proportion by the establish whereas any major mistakes (like losing billions) by the establishment is non-important or small-fly to even mention it.

Remember we have a deceptive wayang government making money at expense of citizen and then act blur and even ask us, &quot;Is it ? We are honest government&quot; but Singaporean by now should known better.

The Malaysia election has shown government&#039;s propaganda doesn&#039;t really matter, it is the people&#039;s voice that win the day.</description>

		<description>i am not sure the people who lead us have an enquiring mind or... a mind. Maybe it&#039;s simply a sponge with a &quot;mind&quot; written on it.

Are they are too concentrated in schemes to increase GST &amp; ERP, for the good of low &amp; mid-income ppl, making these ppl work harder &amp; harder so that they can maintain their 1st class salary &amp; lifestyle.

They believe that the man is still in Singapore? &amp; he has no money or no one to seek help locally? Emmm, how did he escape in the 1st place? Do they really know abt this man? 1st, the news say he is a limp guy. Then they say that he only limps when he is walking fast? What kind of info is that?

Assume i let them have their fantasy that this guy is still in Singapore. MM Lee said that it is better to contain the guy here b&#039;cos it&#039;s harder for him to find explosives. If he escapes to Indonesia, he will get his JI team to follow him back to attack Singapore. The Indonesian Police were the one who arrested the guy.. Remember? Do terrorists really need TNT to make bombs? What about petrol &amp; thinner, etc? Does he really need to go out of Singapore to get his team when there are phones &amp; internet here? If his intention is to attack Singapore, he is already here, why does he need to go out &amp; come back? Does he has a travel hobby? Is that why he joined JI b&#039;cos he gets to travel?

Someone in the Govt should resign or be sacked from their job for this incident! We have a 1st Class Govt with 1st class salary isn&#039;t it? Such error should not have happened or be tolerated.</description>

		<description>Dear all daily traveller,

I am so disgusted with the way singapore immigration on handling the congestion at both checkpoint. As far as we know, singapore goverment deploy more than a thousand uniform officer to searched a LIMPING person, yet is already more than a weeks and there&#039;s still no news of him.. Furthermore, is getting from bad to worse the situation at checkpoint. I am really in doubt the ability of the authority in deployment the manpower..Or do they need to be train on this????</description>
