What is wrong with our police? Or our Home Affairs ministry? Do they want help, or do they not want help to track down and locate Mas Selamat? I cannot understand why little bits of information is taking so long to get out. First, we got photos of how he looked: One clean shaven and another with a goatie. Only later then do we get a side view photo. Were the photos not available since day one?

Fighter Jets Nipping Around
Ok, the airshow is over, it’s not yet NDP. Why are there fighter jets nipping around? Just heard one of them roaring past my home at about 12:25pm. The jet appeared to be circling around, and made a few passes (or perhaps there were a few jets, I can’t tell, I don’t live high enough to have an unobstructed view of the sky). I wonder what’s up? I wonder if it’s a show of superiority over the JI escapee incident?…
Taking Security for Granted
The case of Jemaah Islamiyah leader Mas Selamat’s escape from Whitley Detention Centre is now all over the news. As efforts are underway to track down Mas Selamat and arrest him, this is also a timely reminder for us to ponder about our security. How did Mas Selamat escape? No, I’m not talking about pinning the blame on some scapegoat. But more about the grander scheme of things, the importance we place on security, actual implementation and practice, etc.
