In reference to blog published here on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - 'Public Firing?'
Could the hoo-ha over the MHA / WKS / Mas Selamat case be an effort to blow over the multi-billion dollar loss of Singaporean capital in supposed investments made by Temasek?
In my earlier article citing the loss of our money, the source was foreign - The Financial Times. Why would the local press not pick up on this piece of news pertinent to Singaporeans at large who have in one form or another contributed to the formation of Singapore's SWF? Editorial license?
Which is more deadly or important?
1. escape of a known terrorist
2. loss of billions of dollars
3. some other even more important news which we do not know about due to our illustrious press?
The impact of 1 is being felt right now in the political sphere ... but the impact of 2 remains to be seen especially when we look up the list of who's who in governing money in Singapore. Who is a more 'affordable' scapegoat?
Your guess is as good as mine my friend.
Like previously and repeatedly mentioned. The more I question the more questions I end up with despite official claims to improved transparency and accountability.
Use your vote wisely!!

It’s easier to believe that Mas Selamat died while in custody. If the government wanted to extract full political mileage from his death, then this story of his escape was necessary to: a) Absolve themselves of his death (however it occured) - b) Create a national concensus on the impact of his 'escape' and a forced sense of patriotic unity. This episode would also enable PAP to easily justify further draconian policies and 'anti-terror' legislation which continues to trample of human rights and political freedoms.
Parry,
I think WP should organise more forums and activity such as May Day rally,to make your presence felt.WP should extend its base to whole singapore instead of just concentrating in an area.
TQ
