Escaped militant suspect...what happens now?

News this morning stated that an extremist militant suspect has escaped from a detention centre. Mas Selamat bin Kastari escaped the detention centre at about 4pm++ yesterday afternoon from the Whitley Road facility. How did he escape?


He escaped by requesting a toilet break while on the way to the visiting room in the facility.

WHAT THE HELL!? What did he do? Jump out the toilet window? Climbed out the fence? Or simply walked out the main gate? If he's a dangerous person, why aren't there guards accompanying him to the toilet? Don't tell me it's so easily to escape a detention centre that houses people who are suspected to be dangerous? What were the guards doing? Are the facility walls so easy to jump over? Were the guards slacking away they didn't realise someone sneaked past them? Who's to blame? The guards? The head of the detention centre? The Minister?

The news was released about 4 hrs after the incident happened...why so late? Wouldn't it be better to let the public know immediately so the public can help keep a look out? They don't trust the public to help? or are they afraid of public anger? Bah, think already also pissed off.

Maybe at this point, IOC is reconsidering their decision to let Singapore host the Youth Olympics...after all, our security seems to be sucky isn't it? Maybe F1 will be cancelled too...who knows... If both are cancelled...then great, a black mark in Singapore's history.

Maybe it's a good thing though, that way, Singaporeans and our 'Elites' higher-ups won't be so 'yaya' no more.
