so yes, i've heard about the escape of the JI member. and no, unlike the rest of the nation back home which i'm guessing is probably freaking out right now, i'm not entirely shocked. not that i have no faith in our country's security plans and the regulatory authorities but rather in any place else in the world, there can never be an idiot-proof high level security detention area. furthermore i sincerely believe this was not because of a mistake committed by our ready guardsmen but rather, it was just probably those one in a billion chances that proves that our systems are after all only human-built and because we humans are imperfect, no matter how 'perfect' we think our created systems seem to be, it will never be. in fact they will always be far from perfect.

.

rather, i think what's running through the heads of my fellow comrades back home is whether or not they're safe. for goodness sake, have some faith in our security forces; the police force; the civil defence force; the armed forces. they're doing their best in what they do and the last thing they need to worry about is people running helter skelter in the streets screaming for help when all that has happened was their pencils dropping on the floor. point is, remember the total defence scheme, that part on psychological defence and all that relevant things. it's time someone knows that singapore stands as one nation through the good and the bad times.

damn, i sound like a true soldier.
"sign on la!"
i say YOU ARE MAD.
