Mas Selamat caught...again...
Ans so we have it, Mas Selamat is caught...yet again...for the fourth time running and by intelligence provided by none other than the Singapore ISD yet again. You'd think he'd had learn how to evade the police after getting caught 3 times... The phrase 'once bitten, twice shy' definitely does not apply to him cause he ain't learning from his mistakes. Maybe he thought that people would actually take this poster seriously:
Perhaps he thought that we would be fooled? Or maybe he slack to much. Perhaps he mugging bombing strategies so much he never notice Malaysian police knocking at his door. Well in any case, Singapore had better put him in a bomb proof 10 foot thick concussion proof steel truck when they bring him back to Singapore. Maybe they should add a couple of iron balls and chain those to his leg. His cell...well...I'd say about 20 feet of solid gold outta do it. If he can escape through that...Houdini might as well give his title to him.
My friend had an interesting theory about this whole saga. She theorizes that Singapore deported Mas Selamat to Malaysia. The, they whip up this whole story about how he escaped just to get the minds of Singaporeans off the high cost of living. When this was achieved, they drop it till a time when a boost was needed. This year, after announcing that Singapore was in a recession, they suddenly was able to 'capture' him. This effectively moves the focus from the recession to him straight away. Thus, the people would be given a boost to work harder and boost the sense of togetherness between Singaporeans.
This is an interesting theory but however...I think that the government has better things to do than to kick up unnecessary trouble.
Well in any case I'm glad that he is back where he belongs, behind closed doors...literally. I don't want him wandering around again where he can cause hurt to others and prolong the vicious cycle of violence that would bring about 'peace'. I will talk more about this cycle for 'peace' issue another time.
Well that's all I have for today. Please stay tuned for more exciting posts from the Lamekeeter03 HUD(Hip and Up to Date) News
Matthew Lameketeer03 signing off: An American tourist was visiting a temple in Singapore when he noticed two statues of a man and a woman by the altar.
He asked the monk what was the significance of the two. The monk explained that in the Chinese system of yin and yang, positives must always be balanced by negatives, and having the two statues ensured that the universal balance was maintained.
"This statue of the woman is the Goddess of Mercy, Kuan-Yin."
"What about the other one?" asked the tourist.
In a hushed voice, the monk said, "This one is the God of No Mercy, Kuan-Yew."
