Mas Selamat bin Kastari. A name all familiar to us by now. Just read in the news that Prof Jayakumar were asking S'poreans not to dwell on the fact that a major security breach had happened. Reminding us of the past good work that were done by the Home Team. Well, truth is that this major security breach had already happened and I am sure that what all S'poreans would just want to know how this had happened and what are the steps to prevent a similar incident like this from happening again.
I think MM Lee summarize it best by laying down the true facts. We were being complacent. The core of the problem here is that success had breed complacency into the minds of the top brass in the Home Team. I can't imagine if a major fatal financial decision were made by the board of directors in a listed company. They were definitely be in depth investigation carried out with the findings opened up to all the shareholders. Since the pay of our ministers and civil servants are always being compared to the top 25% of the talent in the private sector, I would also like to see the same being meted out if they did something wrong. No more artificial encouragements like how this incident had strengthen the country or how the community had played its part in trying to locate the fugitive. That's just bollocks to me.
