Think by now already escaped la.. Activate troops to look for him almost 9+ hours give him more then enough time to contact his fellow JI buddies not captured.Who knows he may be already planning an attack?.
Think wisest course of action would be to lock down every car air/sea/train transport in case he tries to escape by either way.And to deploy tanks/infantry, including UAVs and land rover.All this should have been done the moment he escaped.Not a blardy 9 hours after!!!
National security is more important then making money for singapore.
The govt already let a limping JI fella stroll out of the main gate of a Max security prison.And gave the police the slip for more den 48 hours.
Assuming those not detained were released, they should be questioned.
Hope to see entire SAF army combing SG even Leo 2 and bionix., rather den a few platoons and a handful of guardsmen here and there.Why arent UAVs deployed? or air force and navy activated? This is not a plain burglar that escaped.For god's sake, his a blardy leader of a terrorist leader that has support from Al-Qaeda.He's a threat to you and me. And they dont care who lives or die, they only care if thier aims are achieved.
And national buildings such as the Changi airport, Parliament,Istana should have total lockdown as well.
That being said,i think it is time to ask the Interpol to intevene and help catch the JI bugger.We have a few international events that are coming.And the organiser of the event would be scared stiff and/or pull out of the event/cancel it.
