Happy Anniversary!

Mas Selamat Kasturi missing from Whitley Detention Camp since 27 February 2008.

Is he Dead or Alive?


Straits Times reported on Feb 6, 2009 here that "JI still a threat: DPM"

'We have no credible information on Mas Selamat's whereabouts to share at this point in time,' said Mr Wong.

'But let me assure Dr Teo that we have not slackened in our search.

'Whether Mas Selamat is in Singapore or he has fled our country, we will hunt him down as we did before.'

Read here and here.

Straits Times 25 Feb 2009 reported "Rehabilitation works - Singapore's track record compares well against that of other countries. About one in 10 of those released from the United States' detention facility in Guantanamo Bay is either known or suspected to have returned to terrorist activity." Read here. Here goes silly again - Hello, you do not need to extinguish another's candle to make your burn brighter!

Yes, we are so much better than Guantanamo Bay that we allow Mas Selamat Kasturi to selamat jalan (bon voyage) . "About the only one who escaped from the Singapore's detention facility in Whitley Road Detention Camp is either known or suspected to be in Singapore or has fled the country." Where else can he be? The promised land? Any credible information that he's still alive?

Heck, compared to the American's Guantanamo Bay, we are so bloody good that Mas is celebrating his freedom (dead or alive) for one year now! Happy Anniversary!

I'm revisiting Mas to remind everyone that there's no such thing as a free lunch. If we are paid to do a job. We must do the job well. If we are paid millions, we cannot afford million-dollar mistakes that may cause the loss of innocent lives.

Great leaders know their mistakes, admit to their mistakes, sincerely apologise saying, "I screwed up", learn from it and progress.

Cunning leaders know their mistakes, have no regrets for what they did and wisely jump ship.

Hopeless leaders know their mistakes, push the buck and sack their subordinates, have their big big boss say, "It's an honest mistake. Let's move on". Yes, they survive another day, continue to receive their million-dollar-salary and spew forth more garbage in their spins! 'Whether Mas Selamat is in Singapore or he has fled our country, we will hunt him down as we did before.'

I'm lost.
