First of all, why 5 years time? Does MHA predicts more of Mas Selamat type terrorist to appear locally? I thought Singapore is known for her efficiency?

CHANGI Prison may house a new detention centre in five years, Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said in a written reply to Parliament.

The centre, which will hold terror detainees, is among 10 recommendations from the Committee of Inquiry following the escape of Jemaah Islamiah leader Mas Selamat Kastari last year.

The Internal Security Department has assumed overall control of the Whitley Road Detention Centre.Measures to improve communication have also been put into place, and regular security audits will be carried out.

At the rate it is going, the gahmen should actually move themselves to sentosa and declare the main island a detention center.

Akin to closing the stable door when the stallion has fled.
