PRISON BREAK

Mas Selamat(JI leader)

Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng

who apologised for the incident said

Mas Selamat was being taken to the toilet

before a meeting at the Family Visit Room when he escaped.

He said: "This should never have happened.

I am sorry that it has.

An independent investigation is underway and

we should not speculate now as to what

and how it happened.

Security at the centre has been stepped up."

OHWELLS, if u guys wanna noe something.

he actually have been missing 4hrs before the ALERT news came up.

A massive force of Special Operations Command officers, gurkhas and police officers were deployed from Wednesday in the manhunt which followed.

And as Thursday dawned, the effort continued, with army personnel as well.

Mr Wong said security had been tightened at all land, sea and air checkpoints. This includes areas where he could possibly leave Singapore shores not from any normal immigration clearance lanes.

Although there's no indication that Mas Selamat had any plans which could threaten public security at this time, Mr Wong said the authorities are taking no chances.

Mr Wong added:

“The picture of Mas Selamat is splashed all over the country. Look out for him and if there is any information of anyone that looks like him, report the case to the police and you can be sure the police will look into it thoroughly.”

The Home Affairs Minister also urged the public to stay calm and report any suspicious sighting to the public. He made it very clear that anyone who renders assistance to him is committing a grave offence and will have to face the law.
