Oh no, not gonna post a story here. You can read about it in the papers.

BUT, I was gonna handpick a few comments that's up on http://straitstimes.com/


On a serious note:

Singapore role in arrest

I can't believe my eyes when I read this. Not only Spore being complacent in letting MAS escaped, now they want to claim credit for arrest of MAS that happened in Malaysia???

Good on you, Singaporeans! Singapore probably shouldn't claim the credits, and such unethical news writing!

But then:

All the wayang show at the Causeway about security, temperature taking etc. causing the worst of jams... and this guy just waltz pass. Lao kui right?

Temperature taking? What for?

so the MHA didnt know he was in malaysia insisting that he was still hiding in singapore even when the malaysian authority had been hinting that he was in malaysia by using huge sign boards welcoming him "selamat datang"

Mas Mas you thought you won this one,
You left the government red-faced & undone,
Strolling through bars & concrete,
Past those guards, who were asleep
Not knowing you had given them the slip

Embarrassing the government,
Who have released their COI documents,
Saying it's not their doing,
But that of the complacent guards,
who played a part in your going,
Since we also didn't alert the cops,
So we are responsible for making them look like dorks,
Even though the news of your escape was not made known,
Till you boarded your sampan to leave for home

Back in Java we thought you must be,
Enjoying your petai, happy as can be,
Oh why did you embarrass the top brass?
Now they blame the guards for making them appear daft
As you hid in the Malaysian grass

In spite of your escape embarrassing our authorities
And leaving them in a huff
It is we who will have the last laugh

Wah, poet.

$1 m bounty.

That will make it easier for some for a long time. No need to ask for the $50 notes at each bend and corner.

HAHAHA!

Yes recaptured but there are still questions:

HOW he escape detention centre and not detected
HOW he go Msia. By car, by sea or did he take 170

haha! 170!

Aiyah, never mind who gets the credit in hunting him down. Everyone have done their part. Indonesian police first caught Mas Selamat in Bintang, then now Malaysian police catch him in Skudai. When Malaysian polis return him to where he belongs, only need to welcome him home with a big greeting poster worded 'Selamat Mas' to Changi! Story habiskan.

Selamat Mas!

I am so happy that he is recaptured. Actually he did not swim. He probably hid in a 15 ton white boxed lorry with Malaysia registration plates and passed through the checkpoint. The reason I say this is because I saw him on the day he was reported missing in this lorry heading towards Pasir Gudang, Johor. I had heard the report over the radio and lo and behold he was driving past me in this lorry, smiling. I excitedly told my friends about it and they did not believe me. Anyway, I am glad he did not have time to bomb Singapore or do any harm to anyone.

HAHAHAHA I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THIS COMMENT IS JUST HILARIOUS KTHXBYE
