Application9999 Clutched June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 (edited) Let to roam free for months PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia) - MALAYSIA allowed a Singaporean Islamic terror suspect to remain free for months so that he might lead authorities to other militants, an official said on Monday. Mas Selamat Kastari was captured in Malaysia's southern state of Johor on April 1, more than a year after he escaped from a high-security prison in neighbouring Singapore in February 2008 by wriggling out a bathroom window. Officials were aware that Mas Selamat had fled to Malaysia from 'the moment he came to our country', Malaysian Home Ministry Secretary General Mahmood Adam said in an interview with The Associated Press. - suan WKS ah... 'We have a very good (police intelligence agency) here,' Mr Mahmood said. He did not say when exactly Mas Selamat came to Johor or whether Malaysia told Singapore about his whereabouts. Mas Selamat, the alleged Singapore commander of the Al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah group, evaded a massive manhunt in the city-state and slipped into Malaysia by swimming across a narrow strip of sea that separates the two countries. Police monitored Mas Selamat's movements instead of arresting him immediately because 'the most important (thing) sometimes is not the particular target, the most important (thing) sometimes is the networking', Mr Mahmood said. Mas Selamat alone is not as valuable as who is behind him, Mr Mahmood said. Mas Selamat lived in a Malaysian village of about 100 people, rarely going out or mixing with other residents, before being captured by Malaysian commandos. Mr Mahmood declined to say whether authorities are on the verge of making further arrests, but stressed that Malaysia remained 'very safe and secure'. Malaysia's government last week announced it would hold Mas Selamat for two years under a security law that allows for detention without trial. Prime Minister Najib Razak said officials want to obtain more information from Mas Selamat, calling him a 'threat to national security'. -- AP Wong can't sing really thick skin enough to still remain in the force..shame..

Jeff49er Clutched June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 Looks like the cops from Boleh land are lagi boleh. Keep watch on him and his movements. Thinking that he is free to roam he established his network and there by exposing other members of the JI. Boleh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 Really malu for WKS. The MY authority already knew MAS whereabout, while Singapore were still conducting their massive man hunt and tightening CIQ security. And to think that WKS can be so sure MKS was still in singapore really makes him like a fool now. WKS pls do the honorable thing. i.e his own incompentence and let a better man handle our national security and home affair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruzhyo Clutched June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 I pity our boys searching the jungles and been on hi alert looking for MSK for so long. Lets give credit to our guys who no choice LL follow instructions from WKS. If WKS dare say early early know MSK is not in SG anymore, I think alot of our boys will be very angry being sent on a wild goose chase. I wonder if they & their family would vote for some1 who send them on a wild goose chase... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceyeo Neutral Newbie June 1, 2009 Share June 1, 2009 (edited) People forget Msian civilians are more desperate for money than SG folks so for a village of 100 people to tip off their boleh police is not difficult for some pocket money. Yes SG didnt catch MSK so we are no better in fact we suck too. However dun give boleh land folks too much credit too.
