What's wrong with Singapore?

Mas Selamat Kastari, a Jemaah Islamiyah leader, escaped from the Whitley Detention Centre on Wednesday. And this was only made known to the public 4 hours later. Ok, during this period, the police officers, Special Operations Command officers and gurkhas were deployed, so it isn't really a big issue. But, this is Singapore, how could this happened here? Why?

Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng who apologised for the incident said Mas Selamat was being taken to the toilet before a meeting at the Family Visit Room when he escaped.

And Mr Wong was humorous - how could a terrorist who has plans to attack foreign and local establishment be "no imminent danger to the public"? And how much is he paid annually?

The Singapore Airshow wasn't exactly that fantastic - too many people too little things.

There was also a huge screw up for the ticketing of The F1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix.

Gosh, isn't this city suppose to be efficient?

I wonder what Lee senior will have to say about all these...
