<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->THE Singapore Government and our security services have done well by delivering on their promise to the nation
that escaped detainee Mas Selamat Kastari would be caught.
It is very heartening and reassuring to note the excellent working relationship and cooperation between the Singapore and Malaysian security agencies. Thank you and well done, Malaysia.
It was important to apprehend Mas Selamat because of the security threat he could have posed to Singapore. With his arrest, all rumours about his death during detention and the theories that the escape announcement was but a ploy to cover up the death will die out.
Singapore's security agencies have redeemed themselves but let us never forget the words of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew that we should never allow complacency to set in again.
