Selamat Datang Spotting

Never let it be said the Singaporeans do not have a sense of humour.  


In a previous post I mentioned the SMS campaign deployed by the Singapore police to aid in the apprehension of escaped terrorist, Mas Selamat Kastari.

Every single person registered to a mobile phone company in Singapore was mobilised to keep a watchful eye out for the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist who somehow managed to escape from a Singapore detention centre loo.

The Singapore authorities must be terribly embarrassed to have allowed this to happen and still not be able to locate the man.  Posters and messages remind anyone in Singapore of what he was wearing when the great escape occurred and then tell you he may have changed his appearance.  

That's useful.

So the local satirical site came out with a handy dandy helpful print out to identify this arch enemy No. 1 in Singapore.  I think it's brilliant.

Now why didn't they try that with Osama bin Hiddin'?
