Don't point finger at Malay-Muslim community over Mas
Selamat case: President Nathan
BAHRAIN: President S R Nathan has urged Singaporeans
not to point a finger at the Malay-Muslim community over news that
Mas Selamat's escape was aided by the latter's
relatives.
He said the country had done the best it could to be
on the lookout for the fugitive, but the exhortations fell on deaf
ears in one instance.
Mr Nathan was speaking to reporters at the end of
his state visit to Bahrain.
He said: "It is an isolated case of one individual,
of one family, doing something that is contrary to the interest of
the rest of us. So all I hope is that we will not point a finger at
the community, that we will take it in isolation and measure it on
that basis."
