Let me think of some BS they can come up with..

 

Terrorist escape ---> security issue ---> they need more bodyguards ---> Need more $$ to protect themselves ---> Their salary increase

Terrorist escape ---> causes jam at causeway ---> increase toll charge ---> Their salary increase

Terrorist escape ---> SGeans bond together to gossip ---> Illegal Gathering ---> Fine them ---> Their salary increase

Singapore vs. 1 unarmed, short, person on an Island with minimal forested area .... already lost...

i think other countries will laugh at us

 

Becos of someone negligence, now costing our GREAT Govt so much $$$ and man power. Worst still is the future investment from overseas as they lost faith in us.

 

Can we bill or ask for rebate from our GREAT govt in return ??

basket! when you owe garmen $1, they chase you for the money like hell till you dont even dare to visit the toilet. Now with this big blunder, still got the cheek to keep mum and not tell the public how this limping man manage to escape. Then why are we paying so much to the elite who can only said one word, sorry.

 

And now spending even more tax payer money try to catch the bugger. We general public committed any offence, after saying sorry still have to pay for our fine, but why not funding the man hunt exercise from their million $ salary?

Singapore's government has come under stinging public criticism after the escape of an alleged militant leader from custody dented the country's reputation for airtight security.

 

Letters to the editor and Internet blogs by Singaporeans took officials to task for the escape last Wednesday of Mas Selamat bin Kastari, alleged leader of the Singapore wing of the militant Islamic group Jemaah Islamiyah.

 

Open criticism of the government is rare in tightly ruled Singapore, but the apparent ease with which Kastari managed to slip out of a detention centre raised questions about the authorities' anti-terrorist measures.

 

Since his escape, security forces including paramilitary Nepalese Gurkhas employed by the police have been combing the island and keeping a tight watch on its borders with Malaysia and Indonesia.

 

Kastari was accused of plotting to hijack a plane in order to crash it into Singapore's busy Changi Airport in 2001, but never charged in court. He was being held under an internal security law which allows for detention without trial.

 

The Ministry of Home Affairs said Kastari escaped after he was permitted to use the toilet during a visit by family members.

 

"I am sure Singaporeans would like to know the details of the escape -- what happened from the time the terrorist left for the restroom while his family members were waiting for him," said a letter from reader Rosemary Chwee published Saturday by Singapore's leading daily, The Straits Times.

 

"Such a slip is professionally unforgivable... As a citizen, I am deeply concerned, especially if Mas Selamat continues to be on the loose," she wrote.

 

Police flyers seeking public help in recapturing the 47-year-old Kastari say he is "not known to be armed" and walks with a limp.

 

"What puzzles me is how a middle-aged man who has difficulty walking can leave the detention center with such ease," wrote another reader, Siow Jia Rui.

 

Another letter writer, Lee Beng Hai, suspected Kastari could have been helped by "sleepers and sympathisers."

 

Internet blog sites -- the usual refuge of Singapore government critics who are denied space in the mainstream media -- were full of chatter and conspiracy theories on the escape.

 

Even the Straits Times, which is closely identified with the government, said in an editorial that the authorities had to confront the question of whether Kastari had help.

 

"It stretches credulity to imagine this was an opportunistic solo effort... The escape was too easy, too neat," it said.

 

If he had help, it would mean "terror cells are still morphing and sympathisers are being drawn into the network," the newspaper said.

 

If he acted alone, "the system breakdown was egregious," it added.

 

"Security incidents like this one... will shake confidence in the anti-terror system."

 

The editorial said complacency may have set in because Singapore has been spared from terrorist violence so far.

 

Since the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, Singapore has implemented tough security measures and rounded up suspected militants and sympathisers of the Jemaah Islamiyah.

 

The group has been blamed for a series of attacks including the 2002 bombings on the Indonesian resort island of Bali which killed 202 people, mostly tourists.

The conspiracy is to let Mas Selemat (shrimp) escaped, then re-unite with Osama (big fish).

 

Now Mas Selemat is closely monitored via GPS. He just reached Pakistan, seeing Osama soon.

because of public pressure

 

sooner or later some one will be made to pay the price of teh mistake

 

and guess who

 

it will be lowly jagar but will never be someone higher

 

this is a very very serious lapse of security

 

we are talking about the most wanted man in ASIA

 

and he literally walk free from SINGAPORE

 

 

the consequences of his past action was elaborated and highlighted and made aware to us by these same officials and patted on their back on a job well done on capturing Mat

 

now that he has escaped

 

tehre is possibility of a bomb being setoff in SIngapore

 

 

now I understand why mAT has escaped

 

for MIW to justify the highly inflated price for building bomb shelter
