• WHATEVER.

  i was looking forward to the report that was going to be published by the committee of inquiry on mas selamat's arrest.
  
  seems like i'm duly disappointed. what was available to the public was only but an executive summary of 6 pages, when i thought they said full details will be released to the public. the content was dismal.
  
  "In a re-enactment requested by the COI, a GC guard took 49 seconds to climb out of the ventilation window in the urinal, scale the fence, climb onto the roof of the enclosed staircase and walkway, and jump over the converged perimeter fences."
  
  "Nonetheless, the COI asked for a re-enactment of the shortest and most direct route from outside the coverged fences to the Pan Island Expressway. This attempt was made by a young investigation officer and it took him 2 minutes 44 seconds to do so."
  
  how is it possible that they've considered the shortest time it took for mas selemat to escape from the detention centre to PIE, instead of the longest time instead? even if he had taken the chance to survey the environment through that small little window, he couldn't have worked out the shortest route to the PIE just from that same window.
  
  and of course, not withstanding the fact that renactments were carried out with fit young gurkhas and isd officers.
  
  so, how can they "believe  that 11 minutes between 3:54pm and 4:05pm would have provided Mas Selamat with ample time to make good his escape from the time he entered the toilet"? by taking into consideration the shortest time that he MIGHT have took to escape from the detention centre? wouldn't that presuppose that someone had already planned the route for him then? then why the "COI finds no evidence of connivance or collusion with or assistance given to Mas Selamat in his escape on the part of any individual?"
  
  like seriously, whatever. i couldn't be bothered really to read what happened after that, though i did a brief skim through. whatever was published, probably were to protect the asses of wong kan seng and his ministry, as well as the isd.
  
  oh yar, another statement also goes to prove that the people up there, they seriously have no feel of whatever's going on the ground.
  
  "... a WRDC staff did a walkabout to review the status of renovations some time between April and May 2007 and detected the ventilation window without grilles. Instead of having it grilled, the Superintendent instructed that the handle of the ventilation window be sawn off as a security measure."
  
  i have only one thing to say: seems like our cream of the crop may have received the best education and scored the highest marks, but they lack the common sense that even 7-year-olds have.
  
  wtf.
  
  
  
  whatever it is, i still do not believe that mas selamat escaped without any help at all.
