wah sian..
into thrid day alr.
if by tonite never captured is as good as gone already.
heads should roll.
the man incharge of security in the prison and the man in
charge of homeland security.
really want to see how the govt and media handles this after 1
week.
Hahaha.....
Put the blame on some junior officer lor, while the main star in
charge of Ministry of Home Affairs goes away scot free.
Strange that the few million dollar salaried genius Minister has
never noticed the security flaw during his visits to Whitley
Detention Centre while he was Minister of State for Home
Affairs during his term in 1985, or during his 3 terms as
Minister for Home Affairs from 1995. Maybe he hasn't even visited
the Whitley Detention Centre in all his terms, 
perhaps he was busy playing golf with his P4P
buddies, no time to visit Whitley Detention Centre.
