haha, good one! I feel even more upset hearing the revised description that he walks with a noticeable limp only if he runs or walks briskly! AND apparently someone came forward to say they spotted him 70 minutes after he escaped at a petrol kiosk near the detention centre. IF they had sound the alarm immediately and not wait 4 hours (still no good explanation for the 4 hours delay!), they might have acted on the tip much sooner.The way the run the whole damm operation, I have to ask, er... did the police check his cell? Maybe all this time, he is sleeping in his cell, wondering why he has not been fed for several days and no-one has come to check on him. It sounds ridiculous but that's how I feel about the bleedy DPM and his team of jokers.

Taken from a blog:
Like YG, I think he would have headed for Bukit Brown cemetery, which is quite deserted. He would have met his accomplice there, changed into jogging gear and cross over Lornie Road and hide in the MacRitchie Nature Reserve which is linked to the Bt Timah nature reserve. Here there are plenty of places to hide, and where food and clothing can be left behind for him.
Hence, I don't understand why during the first few hours, the police concentrated their search in the Malcolm Road and the Dunearn Road areas. Afterall, in order to get to Malcolm Road, he has to cross a very busy Pan Island Expressway, one way or another. Could it be because they were worried that this guy would catch hold of some school kids from St Joseph's Institution or Singapore Chinese Girls School and used them as hostages?
If Mas Selamat had indeed escaped to MacRitchie Reservoir, it would be quite ironical.=======================
Why did the Police search only Malcom Road area and not Mt Pleasant - Mac Richie- Bukit Brown -Andrew Road area on first day?
It seems our Scholar cops lack experience and thus are lost themselves!!! How to lead????
-
They have told us whatever they want to tell us. Which is not very much.
They can't produce Mat Selamat for his family. So they say he has escaped. We believed that explicitly without question.
More transparency is needed to prevent all sorts of speculation.

Imagine a conspiracy that goes like this.Terrorist leader accidentaly dies in the hands of Prisons guards,an escape attempt is being staged to cover up.
but then this sort of things only happen elsewhere and not Singapore. -

JI fugitive could break cover
As police and army officers and their tracker dogs continued their intensive search of the forested areas in various parts of Singapore yesterday, the public kept their eyes peeled for fugitive Mas Selamat Kastari.
He is believed to be still within the Republic’s borders and having gone for more than 100 hours without shelter or food since his escape last Wednesday afternoon is likely to break cover.
Believed to be on his own, this could be the crucial period when an emotionally erratic and desperate man on the run, makes his move, most likely under the cover of night.
Most in Singapore know his face many have received MMS photos of the man from the three telcos but the police have added another element to watch out for: Any person wearing ill—fitting clothes, avoiding eye contact, or trying to conceal his appearance by wearing a cap, sunglasses or coat.
Police say that Mas Selamat, a trained mechanic, is adept at jumpstarting motor vehicles. “He would try to look for means of transportation ... It is possible that he may be able to start a car, motorcycle or even a motor boat given his background as a mechanic,” a top police officer told reporters yesterday during a briefing at the Special Operations Command (SOC) the first since the escape that launched Singapore’s largest manhunt.
Said Assistant Commissioner Wong Hong Kuan, Director of Operations: “We believe that he is unaided in his escape. Mas Selamat needs money, food, shelter and clothing to try and escape from Singapore.”
One new point: The former Jemaah Islamiyah leader’s limp in his left leg is only noticeable when he runs or walks briskly.
AC Wong urged the public to be extra vigilant Mas Selamat could have stolen a knife to arm himself and to report any thefts immediately. If you spot him, call 999, but do not try to apprehend him, was the advice from the police.
Why was the public only notified some four hours after the escape?
AC Wong said the priority in “the first few hours” was to step up border security and get the search going. “We needed to be sure of what was actually happening, before giving out information. In any operation, we always refine our tactics, including managing communications to the public.”
Even as he spoke, more than 300 calls have been received by the police, said Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, who was also visiting the SOC base, to check on the morale of the search party.
Paying tribute to the troops, Mr Wong said all leads provided by the public were being followed up. No stone would be left unturned, he assured Singaporeans.
Today understands that last Wednesday at about 5.15pm 70 minutes after Mas Selamat escaped a bus commuter reported seeing a man, believed to be the fugitive, at a petrol kiosk near the detention centre.
Four hours before the prison break, a SingPost van was stolen after the driver had left the engine running near the Woodlands Civic Centre. The stolen vehicle has still not been found. Authorities would not say if it was linked to the Mas Selamat hunt.
“We are grateful for the support from Singaporeans, community leaders and corporate bodies. All efforts count, big or small,” said Mr Wong.
He acknowledged the inconvenience to travellers from the 100—per—cent security searches at the land checkpoints.“I thank them for bearing with us,” he added. Border controls at all land, air and sea entry ports as well as unauthorised immigration points remain on high alert.
Singapore’s reputation “has taken a knock”, admitted Mr Wong. “We must learn from mistakes so that we do not repeat them. We will recover from this.”
The authorities do not consider Mas Selamat an immediate threat as the JI network in Singapore has been crippled. “But in the long term, who knows?” said Mr Wong.
The Internal Security Department has been speaking to Mas Selamat’s family and asking them “a lot of questions to see if they know anything”, he said. He was heartened by the spontaneous community response, where many Singaporeans from all walks of life took the initiative to disseminate pamphlets and posters on Mas Selamat.
This was in addition to efforts by grassroots leaders to distribute police fliers at various places such as town centres, MRT stations and bus interchanges. In all, over 54,000 posters and flyers have been distributed.
More than 1,000 officers are involved in the manhunt. SOC Commander, Assistant Commissioner Raymond Yeo said the search could go on “indefinitely as we have the manpower and the resources”.
The break—out has also dominated Internet chatter with more than 400 people joining five groups on popular social networking site Facebook to discuss Mas Selamat’s escape.
Interpol has also issued a red alert for Mas Selamat on top of a previous orange alert which means that any law enforcement officer among the international police network’s 186 member countries can help arrest him on the spot.
Indonesian authorities have mobilised its navy, army and police around the Riau archipelago to track down Mas Selamat. Police officers are monitoring the ferry terminals while naval ships are checking trawlers and fishing boats. TODAY/

why would they cover up. DPM rather have this situation than the current one. at least the other one. the terrorist leader is dead, and he can just fire some small fries without getting critisized. now he's under heavy critisizm and ppl rather he step down than anything

Helping in the search is only for people who have nothing better to do
-
If he is not already across the border the JI could be planning to save him.I also find it hard to believe that he is on his own.If he is in the forest then a systematic search would surely find him....I think it is time to activate all reservists to form a line and comb the area.

Ya Mata and ISD diff one...u didnt watch news meh?
The inquiry thingy...was reported on TODAY lei...
TODAY says that "The CID is looking into whether there was "any criminal wrongdoing", including negligence, committed by personnel at the detention centre."

Orhhh...like that I trust the CID to check properly and giv us a proper explanation.

Come to think of it.......you think it is easy to escape from Internal Affairs custody? It could be a 放长线钓大鱼(literally lay down a long line to catch bigger fish). In English it means using Mas as a bait to nab the ultimate leader of JL in neighbouring country.
So if any JL member read this, please don't help Mas. Unless you cut open his stomach and remove that casio GPS that IA implanted in his body.
If within weeks, Indonesian police announced that they managed to nab the key person of JL together with Mas, then my theory is correct. Indonesian police will be more than happy for this deal because they got the credit although it is our sniper that fire the shot on the fugitive left leg three toe.

if the police wants the public to help, then they need to give out info fast and accurate....now that a singpost van had been stolen, they ought to have made it known, this guy could be anywhere with the transport...we need real pros to do this search.....it's one thing to lose osama in the mountains, it's quite another to lose a terrorist in a concrete jungle....
