Commentary – Hari Sombong

If you are wondering what the title is about… it’s been a year since 27 February 2008. The significance of it? It’s the day Mas Selamat bin Kastari escaped from the Whitley Road Detention Centre. At this point of time, it is certain that no one is any wiser as to the fate of Mas Selamat.

No credible information of whereabouts of Mas Selamat Kastari
Channel NewsAsia – Friday, February 6

SINGAPORE : Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said his ministry also has no credible information on the whereabouts of Mas Selamat Kestari, the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leader who escaped last year.

Yes, it’s the one year anniversary of one of the most astounding and perhaps the quickest escapes ever in Singapore history. It has to be Mas Selamat’s very own Hari Sombong. I wondered, when his JI brothers sees him in his hideout on the day itself, will they all greet him with Selamat Hari, Mas Selamat!?

Several weeks after his escape, the authorities were still saying that he might still be in Singapore. I wonder which clown will still be saying that today. Definitely not the very clown who didn’t need to take any responsibilities! It reminds me of a friend’s response when I asked him whether he thinks Mas Selamat is in Singapore. This is his reply:

Brudder… sekarang Mas Selamat minum teh botol, makan rendang, merokok dan relacking di Indonesia lah…

Anyway, the guy who will never take any responsibilities, wouldn’t have taken it even if he has his head in it after he’s led to the pile of dung. Looking at him, sometimes one might even wonder if he can find his own ass with both hands even with the lights on. *sigh*
