He replied that without using informers it would be an uphill task. If Mas S. has already slipped out of the country that would be a different situation, but about if he is still around? Should there be a huge reward offered to bait the informers to take doubly fast action? In old days of the wild wild west, there were posters (with a drawn picture of the criminal) nailed onto trees, written:'WANTED - outlaw dead or alive, reward US$xxxx. I believe this type of bait sometimes works wonder, that was how Saddam Hussein's sons were located. Now we see posters of the wanted man all over the place, but where is the offer? So would the 'professional' informers noble enough to come forward to offer their 'national' services? At this dangerous time no one should sit on the high horse of morality and proclaim: "Hey-please don't be so immoral and use money for such an evil purpose".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-54445969924107372612008-03-04T22:06:00.000+08:002008-03-04T22:06:00.000+08:00Hi Chun See,For more info and angles do check out ...Hi Chun See,<BR/>For more info and angles do check out my 2 posts at my blogsite.<BR/><BR/>Wise OwlUnk Dickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050766265321887439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-38977742768318196942008-03-04T17:59:00.000+08:002008-03-04T17:59:00.000+08:00Many decades ago, a black panther escaped from the...Many decades ago, a black panther escaped from the Mandai Zoo.

Otherwise the CCTV will be able to pick up clues that a waiting vehicle was waiting for him. Then taking PIE means he was heaidng for the ECP. he could have exit at Eunos, travelled down Still Road and got into the inner road of East Coast Parkway. Else he could have exit at Changi GH and headed down Xinlin Avenue towards East Coast Parkway (near Tanah Merah Country Club).

Their role will be to stay in the jungle for upto 3 to 4 days at a strecth with comms equipments, weapons and rations that can suffice the teams for the duration. Patrol the designated area of operations and report back sightings or take immediate action when fugitive is sighted according to SOP.

Perhaps he went through some drains. Or maybe, being well-trained in Afghanistan or wherever, making it across the PIE is chicken feed to him. <BR/><BR/>Apparently he was spotted in the SJI-SCGS vicinity. However, this is just hearsay. And as my friend said, the people who 'saw' him may have been mistaken because he doesn't really look unusual or anything. Anyone seen climbing a fence, running into the undergrowth, etc, could well have been, well, anyone at all.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I agree that the MacRitchie route would have been a more logical escape path.
