Mas Selamat arrested in Malaysia

Finally Mas Selamat is captured after 15months. who is he anyways that demand so much attention from singapore?

Mas Selamat was the head of Singapore JI branch, a worldwide terrorist group, that escape from a Singapore detention center from Feb 08 while on the way to the toilet.

For his escape, several senior paid the price and was demoted and charged.

How was he caught in the 1st place? Mas Selamat was deported to singapore by Indonesian Police while using faked identity card in 2006 and had since make Whitlet Road Detention center his home til the day he escaped.

An islandwide manhunt was contacted to locate him, his picture was sent via MMS to almost all Singaporean, however efforts where futile. He had then fled to Malaysia to expand JI's network.

Mas Selamat was believed to be caught by the Malaysian Police since Apr 09, and had been held for interrogation.

And yes again, he will be sent to Whitley Road Detention Center, which had since bucked up on its secuity since he escaped.

I certainly hope not another issue of him escaping whitley road detention center again. i believe that the singapore guards were too complacement with its security and thus the previous escape.

Hopely, lessons were learnt from the previous whitley road detention escape!
