Now Malaysia says they were on top of things from day 1 when Mas cross over to Johore. They did not apprehend him in hope he’ll lead them to accomplices. This contradicts WKS point that the arrest arose from a Singapore tip-off. From experience, Singapore gov always refutes strongly any comments that discredit them. Wonder if they do so this time.

PAP needs to keep Singaporeans afraid to keep them submissive, an effective political philosophy. Mas is really just a bogeyman to distract people from issues such as ministers’ pay, Temasek Holdings.

Ya, you’re right Wendy. Don’t hear anymore or any follow up issues like the PAP TCs losing those $millions and still keeping dead quiet till now, no more issues of those profiteering from public housings HDB, issues of the toxic funds sold by DBS and all other issues in connection with the ruling party just seem to disappear now.

I can only think of a few reasons for the delay of the news being made public.

- Singapore police has not met MAS to confirm the person arrested is indeed him?

- Singapore has not gotten the chance to interview MAS as the Malaysia refused to let Singapore see him?

- Singapore needs to find out if any Singaporean had assisted him in the escape so that they can arrest the person too?

- Singapore needs to find out about his new planned attack on Singapore so as to tighten the compromised area before the news?

I wonder if the reasons are valid for the delay though…

Fact that mas still linger around when he could dig a hole like saddam & disappear means he is determined to terrorize our island, such a clown should be made example of by capital punishment, kill one to scare a hundred.

First time on this Blog.

I actually enjoyed reading all the comments right up to the last comment.
I had a good laugh reading all the grumbles and rumbles.

To me, I take issue with the following:

1. The escape shoudd not have happened in the first place. How could it happen when we see people escaping from toilet window in the movies all the time. That was schoolboy error and those responsible should have their ears pinched.
2. He was able to swim accross to Johor in spite of the high security alert. So much efforts and moneys spent all go down the drain.
3. The recapture should have been a low profile affair. No credit should be claimed over the recapture.
4..Move on and improve our border security .Just to borrow the iconic phrase from the AWARE SAGA: “Shut Up And Sit Down”…………. and Work Hard On It !
Lets us all work very hard on it. Its everybody’s business.

The CIA admits that Bin laden worked for them under the code name “Tim Osman”.

Will someone admit MSK worked for them under code name “Tak Selamat D’ Malaysia”?

1) mas selamat escaped swimming on an “improvised floatation device”. he swam over. i want to puke. where were we or the malaysians at the time? sleeping?
2) did he have time to sunbathe at pedra branca as well on the way?
3) why is WKS taking credit for this? its not like they caught someone out of the blue, they made a mistake and now its been rectified. pure garbage.
4) it doesnt hurt, to say something to the effect of “i am sorry once again to the people of s’pore for this grave error that put your lives in potential danger” etc. but politicians will be politicians.
now can we please focus on the screwed up economy and things that matter to our daily lives.

According to a January 2007 BBC World Service poll of more than 26,000 people in 25 countries, 73% of the global population disapproves of the US handling of the Iraq War.

The US government has long maintained its involvement there is with the support of the Iraqi people, but in 2005 when asked directly, 82–87% of the Iraqi populace was opposed to the US occupation and wanted US troops to leave.

Iraqi violent deaths, Opinion Research Business – August 2007: 1,033,000

Singapore being a apart of “Coalition of willing”
Singapore: 175 offshore (deployed 12/03-withdrawn 12/08)

After all this, the invasion being a mistake….Gov has to tell Singaporean we’re under terrorist threats…the result is the passing on of guilt or shame….

Washington–a city of denials, spin, and political calculations. They may speak English there, but most citizens still need an interpreter to understand its ways and meanings.

All this talk about Mas Selamat and JI is really another case of injecting phobia into the community when nothing really matters than our own job at risk. Rhetoric on Mas Selamat is a joke and its quite deafening to listen to those stooges keep on harping the slogan over and over again….i think they like to talk about him and instill the fear in the people……but its getting bored now. If you have not realised yet…Mas Selamat is not known to be armed….How to be terrorist like that hoh?

Only LHL & WKS knew about it and THEY (these TWO) did not trust their own Cabinet colleagues. What a sad day for SIN; the rest of CABINET only knew about it the same day all SIN read about it.

WHAT is going on ? Is it so SSSSS SECRET to point CABINET mustnt know?. Arent you dealing with terrorist per se & on same wavelenght as all your CABINET colleagues or are you dealing with a plan which manages his escape and his final arrest where the PLAN from day one (before his escape) were also not made known to your CABINET colleague.?

This had been the speculation all along, he was deliberately set free to rein in more JI? He is not so much a terror as claimed, cant run far for one.
