JI DETAINEE'S ESCAPE

Govt has to take some responsibility too

 

I REFER to last Saturday's article 'Guards were negligent, says MM'. Like MM Lee, I very much agree that the Government is not to be blamed for the escape of Mas Selamat Kastari.

 

The good track record of the Singapore Government should not be diminished by this unfortunate incident. However, there should be some level of accountability by the Home Affairs Ministry and not only by the guards who were in charge of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) detainee who had once planned to crash a plane into Changi Airport.

 

The ministry had a role to play in ensuring all this did not happen in the first place.

 

But none of the statements from the ministry suggested that it was apologetic over the incident and there was no admission that there could have been an oversight on its part. Ironically, an Insight report in The Straits Times on the same day cited Dr Michael Benoliel, an associate professor of organisational behaviour at the Singapore Management University, as saying 'All the great corporations collapsed because they underestimated the competition'.

 

Is it fair that accountability lies only with certain strata of staff members of a corporation?

 

Let us all ponder this since we have often compared our Government to a large corporation.
