Appologies for the not making it clearer. Have edited that posting.What I meant was, there are several leaders in JI and Selamat is one of them. JI is also related to Al Qaeda where also several leaders exist. I used the word 'leader' to mean one of the leaders. Someone who is one of the many leaders can also be called a leader right?
Anyway, thanks for pointing that out.
tchuss!!
Ya lah he only went for the section leader course in Afghanistan and he wasnt the best trainerr>hahaha

Saw front page of TNP, some people quit to go look for Selamat. OMG
-
Mas Selamat, the Terrorist, is into his 6th long long MONTHS escape where he has been undetected, uncaught, unseen, unsmelled, unfound, untraceable.
The question in my mind now is
Will he be caught before 9th Aug ?
Is Signapore safer than before given he is no where to be smelled?

3 ex-commandos. I wish them all the best. Anyone know the 3 of them? ====================================================== http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,171686,00.html? DAYS TO PREPARE FOR $1M 'MAS HUNT' *Lured by $1 million reward, 3 S'pore men quit private sector jobs for Mas Selamat hunt *They'll live on savings for a year while infiltrating local communities ARE these bounty hunters for real? Their quarry: Escaped terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari, who now has a $1 million reward on his head. According to their spokesman, these three Singaporeans have quit their jobs so they can look for their target in Indonesia. Why? For a million bucks and perhaps a chance to appear as heroes. But the hunt could lead to injury or even death when terrorists turn into desperados. And they could get into serious legal problems hunting fugitives on foreign soil, or even spark a diplomatic row. For all the risk, they could end up with nothing after months of frustration. But this is not stopping the three men, all in their 20s, who have resigned from their jobs in the private sector this week to try their luck. COMMANDO TRAINING The trio, who had undergone commando training during their national service, are heading to Indonesia today. The three men, who have been volunteers with Crime Library since 2005, contacted its founder, Mr Joseph Tan, on Tuesday to seek his opinion about their plans. Mr Tan, 42, who is acting as their spokesman and their point of contact in Singapore, said: 'They are not my children, but I feel like a father to them. 'If I were 20 years younger, I would join them. I may also become a part-millionaire in the process.' Mr Tan declined to reveal details about the men for fear of blowing their cover. They also turned down requests for an interview. Anti-terrorist professionals spend many months training before they carry out big missions, but the trio are off after barely five days of preparation. Their aim is to blend into local communities in Indonesia and to seek leads that might pinpoint the hideout of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) leader. Anti-terror agencies in the region have failed so far to track down the fugitive after a four-month search. Yet the bounty hunters believe they stand a chance to strike paydirt. The call of a million dollars is strong. The bounty, offered by two anonymous businessmen, is Singapore's largest ever. Mr Tan said their first aim is to try to work out Mas Selamat's escape route. One of their theories is that he could have left Singapore from a fishing port in Jurong. The men have some savings to tide them over their first year in Indonesia, Mr Tan said. They plan to gain the trust of the locals who could help them get closer to the JI cells there. But is there a danger they might get indoctrinated as well? Mr Tan's reply: 'I'm not worried that they will get converted, because terrorists don't get $1 million as a reward.' To help the effort, Mr Tan sent out an e-mail with Mas Selamat's picture, to alert people in Malaysia, Indonesia and China to be on the lookout. Mr Tan has helped solved about 440 missing person cases since he founded Crime Library in 2001. The former policeman said: 'With the $1 million offer, we can borrow eyes in other countries, turning the people in our network to become bounty hunters too.' CREATED A BUZZ The reward has also created a buzz in the security industry, including those in neighbouring countries. Mr Ponno Kalastree, 61, managing director of security and investigations agency Mainguard International, has mobilised agents in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines to look out for Mas Selamat. He said: 'The reward will be a real motivation. If they find him, they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives.' Dr SM Jegan, a director of Kokusai Security, has offered an additional $10,000 from his own pocket if his staff members in Singapore and network in Indonesia are able to give information on Mas Selamat's whereabouts. 'Mas Selamat's escape has affected our reputation as a safe country. ' I am also concerned for the safety of Singaporeans,' he said. Some terrorists have been caught after rewards were offered for their capture. 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in 2003 after a US$25 million ($34m) bounty was offered. Last year, four Filipinos were paid US$10 million after Abu Sayyaf leaders Khadaffy Janjalani and Abu Sulaiman were discovered and killed. The Indonesian-born Mas Selamat escaped from a detention centre here in February. Officials say they have no information to confirm that he has left Singapore or that he has escaped to Indonesia. Anyone with information on Mas Selamat may call the Counter Terrorism Centre hotline at 1800-262 6473 or the police at 999.

and now that 3 fellows quit their jobs to go indo to find him. haha.

Bet their first stop is Tanjong Balai and their last stop is Tanjong Pinang.>hahaha If the 3 clowns are going to ask stupid questions in Java? They would be dead before they even know it
-
$1m is not worth it the effort. these 3 chaps are naive and perhaps blinded by the money. but coming from singapore, it's wierd tt $1m appeals to them.
you need a lot more $$$. the only way he will get caught is somebody close to him or know his movements intimately rat on him. the person who did that will need to relocate (far away), change his identity and start a new, low profile life. $1m cannot even last that someone 10-15years.
-
Do they actually think Commando training is what is needed to nab a fugitive?
We are talking about a fugitive with a network and a country of 17000 islands to hide in.
3 Commandos with no govt backing and intel network, how are they going to find him? But surviving the jungle?
i suggest they should go back to their job and earn another $1m to donate to the bounty cause.
-
Well, their training in the SAF Commandos would have made them tough physically and emotionally. I always encourage citizen action rather than wait for garmen NATO. I believe these guys will be working with at least one local Indonesian contact. So it might be a 4 way split $250k each if they succeed.
-
Why do I get the feeling that Oliver North is directing this drama? Intel received on whereabouts of wanted terrorist. Because of political and other sensitivities, the government cannot send its troop to capture the terrorist. Or maybe they don't want to capture the terrorist but want him dead, which they of course cannot disclose to the trusting public. So first comes the donors, then 3 well-trained army guys to carry out whatever Uncles Lee and Lee wants. Hollywood drama in the making!
-
I wanna ask something...before Mas Selamat's escape was reported,he could have some time to escape SG right?I mean...right after he bolted out of that toilet window,he could have run to East Coast or somewhere got boat then he zhao to other countries liao.Then the government say "We believe he is still in Singapore.".But I don't believe leh lol.

-
Wow, Mas Selamat Kastari, really has escaped for a long time.
Its into the HALF YEAR mark.
I not sure what should I say to him if I accidentally spot him in singapore?
I may run for my life! He is afterall reportedly a TERRRORIST!!!!!!
-
they said he is in Singapore and he has avoided detection for so long,
should be a clear indication as to the effectiveness of our home team led by WKS.
-
Lock WKS up in Mas Selamat's place. His ineffectiveness has the same distrastrous effect on our security and well-being.

Mkt rumour Mas was already dead but just cook up an excuse that he escaped so no need to account to the public.Wad's yr view?

Possible. Especially since they were so boh chap to take action after the discovery. Why waste effort if you know you're not gonna find him, right :) -
3 non native speaking, uncircumcised, pork eating, non Koran waving bounty hunters?
If they get beheaded with video of them in it, their silly venture will send investors fleeing and Singaporeans peeing in their pants. -
Me thinks there is no 2 bussinessmen who offer $1 million.
Me thinks the money came from the Sg govt. But they are too embarass, too legitimate to admit it.

probably that is the case. how many people actually will believe the CCTV is not working? so no one can confirm he did really escape. the guards that are suppose to guard him can be make up as well. and why the media keep say he is still in singapore? died inside that why say he is in singapore? playing around with words?
-
Basing on my personal observation about
the psyche ,
mentality,
thinking,
IQ level of singapore's Majority,
I believe they believe that the news is believable and they believe it -
3 NS men give up their jobs in search of glory.
2 businessmen donate 1 million in hope to capture him.
That is why signaporeans read it every day
even if it means having to Pay and Pay,
day after day.
And so that is the way.
That things shall stay.
One way or or the other way.
Hey Hey,
what more can I say?
The future of signapore depends on the majority and from my crystal ball I see signapore's future at the mercy of the majority.
"...one day......you......may......be....formula..............one....driver."
"...you....hold....the....racket.....like.....agasis....."
majulah!
-
Even if the 3 NS men found or "captured" him in Indonesia,the police there will slaughter the 3 guys and claim credit the $1 million reward...the 3 are just dreaming..wad commando skills will not be applicable in Indonesia with all its webs of corruption...guess as some readers here say likewise..the $1 million reward is a actually from gahmen itself but too embarrass to admit only..but very confident nobody will be able to calim this reward too..see why WKS no need to resign,,,

You all remember 1 or 2 National Day rally ago, what LHL told us?
On how paying the Ministers top dollars was justifiable given the important roles they played? And he harped on how WKS kept terrorist at bay, allowing LHL to sleep sounding at nights?
Lets see what he going to say this coming rally. I suggest he does the right thing - lock WKS in Selamat's place. -

Talk about irony.
