A different kind of “Manhunt”

Posted by: Squareface In: Singapore

I really hope nothing drastic is going to happen, now that “the most ruthless of the Singapore JI members” Mas Selamat Kastari is still on the loose. Even if he gets caught again, we don’t know what he had planned and already prepared before getting caught.

The government is good in making residents not worrying and trusting that he will get caught and taking for granted that all is safe with the tight security in Singapore (even though he managed to escape?), though, with such propaganda:

‘Even as Singaporeans are waiting for answers to the “how”, security experts are already grappling with the question, “what next?”‘

With the tight security presence, Singaporeans are generally confident this crisis will soon be resolved.”

I guess it’s necessary for us to feel comforted or else it’ll be a panic attack if we only read these:

When he was last arrested in Indonesia, officers found literature on bomb making on the man.”

The militant leader had been on the run after Singapore authorities discovered plans to crash seven truck filled with bombs at various locations around the island.”

“His mindset is more Al Qaeda then JI. He had planned to hijack a plane from Bangkok and crash it into Changi.”

Let’s hope he’s not an angry man anymore.
