Bloggers In Singapore Question Escape Of Militant

Lack trust in local media

3 Comments

Prime minister

It took 11 days for the MM(Minister Mentor) in Singapore, Mr lee Kuan Yew, to say something about the matter after Selamats escape. Complacency was the reason, he said, was the problem to the case and why it happened.

It was the next day, 12 altogether, that finally the Prime Minister, Lee Hsein Loong answered questions about the escape. What was he doing all this time? If the public got hurt at anytime within that period would he be able to answer them?

Why has he not asked for the Home Affairs Minister's, Wong Kan Seng's resignation? Is there a cover up in squeeky clean Singapore? The Government claims integrity and responsibility to it's citizens, so does the PAP Party, but where is it now? 

Singapore view

The Minister of Home Afffairs should be asked by the Prime Minister for his resignation.

This is what many feel. In other countries when incidences like this occour the person in-charge would normally resign because it's their responsibility and they have let down the Government, the country and the people.

When the minister, Wong Kan Seng, was asked in parliament why the public was not informed until 4 hours after the fact, he smilingly replied that they believed there was no "eminent threat."

Even Interpole issued a full worldwide arrest bulletine and after several days the minister, when talking to reporters, then started to pick and choose his words carefully.

There's also a conspiracy theory that there is a cover up or there would have been if Mas Selamat was caught. In fact there is also rumours that he had accidentally been killed in custody and the escape is a cover up so that terrorist do not take revenge on Singapore.

No matter what if Wong does not resign the government will have a bad name and in the next election the opposition will have something to aid them in one of the GRC's.
