Yaacob: I'm very disappointed, but good work must go on

There can be no excuse or sufficient explanation that will help us get over the disappointment, said Dr Yaacob. -- ST FILE PHOTO

THIS is the text of Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim's statement on the fact that Mas Selamat's family members had aided him in his escape:

'I am very disappointed with what has been revealed.

Harbouring is a very serious offence - more so when it involves a wanted fugitive who was a threat to the whole country - at a time when everyone was deeply concerned and actively looking out for him.

There can be no excuse or sufficient explanation that will help us get over the disappointment.

I am disappointed because we know that Singaporeans from all backgrounds have come together since 2002 - the Malay/Muslim community very prominently - to keep the lid on the danger of terrorism: reporting suspicious activity, counselling detainees, supporting their spouses and children, going out to the public to disabuse any notion that violence against the innocent is tolerated in Islam, and so on.

We have also come together to build strong ties among faith leaders, and among fellow Singaporeans at the neighbourhoods and communities.

So there is tremendous disappointment.

But we accept it and the good work at all levels must continue.

So we continue to build understanding and confidence, and enhance safety and security to emerge from this episode stronger as a society.'

This Mat talking shit out of his mouth again, Melayus usually don't betray their own family unless they are some hard core drug addicts or pervert

 

[Leongsam]

Blood is thicker than water. The govt obviously wants Singapore to operate along the lines of the Stasi with family members spying on each other.

please la, Mas selamat didn't betray his family, read carefully, the police couldnt obtain from Mas how he swam to malaysia, it means Mas is prepare to die keeping his mouth shut, as for his relatives, very easy, just tell them, "mas has told us everything, I give you last chance to admit", everything come out liao.

 

[saf_ranger]

if that MAS is Yaacob's small brother , will he report to the police. blood is alway thicker then water,bird brain..

 

[Windsor]

This Minister obviously cannot understand about betrayal. I am sure if Mas Selamat is his brother, mother or father, he will be the first to report him. I have to admit, I cannot betray my family no matter what. The best I can do is not get involve and turn him away, as my own family members will be affected. It is very unfortunate for the family but I believe if they were to have to do it again, they probably will, even at the price they had to pay. I hope this experience may not turn them to follow Mas Selamat's idealogy. The fact is, the family most probably has no future here after their prison term.

If Mas Selamat didn't tell, then how the poodles find out that he was assisted by the family members? I doubt anyone would know unless those involved has a big mouth.

just summon all the relatives back for a follow up interview, then use the standard template lor

"Mas has told us everything already, we give you one last chance to speak out"

 

[hotbot]

i think so too...it's the same logic,if PM did wrong,don't you think LKY will cover and help his son?

But on the other hand, Mas is trying to bomb Spore, so he is dangerous cos' his mind already been brainwashed by the terrorists. However, i think his family still deserve my respect. I have always like malays cos' of their this kind of family bonding. whenever, hari raya, i see the whole family, big and small go out in lorries or pick-ups, very heart soothening. I will not hesitate to help any malay friends if they need me but definitely not for those malays high up there.

there is no right or wrong,in the eyes of the law, to be or not to be.
sorry if i offended any malays up there cos this is really how i felt for your pple.

If i am his family members, i will have said that if i reported him to police. He will surely come back and seek revenge since he has escape. We are only doing this out of fear then trying to help him escape. They can also said that , he had snatched money and personal belonging from them. He has done the impersonation himself.

One of them must have scumble to police empty threat and spill the beans on his family members ! If they have the evidence , they will sue straight away. They wont waste time with you. That is Singapore police.

hi there

1. aiyoh! it is just some wayang wayang man!
2. blah, blah and more blahs.
3. no bite too!

 

[BuiKia]

How many can you interview in one day? After day one, those interviewed will exchange notes with those going the next day. You think this method will work? A few suspect maybe but for all his relative? I doubt so.

how scared do u think they were? the way they carried out things like the tudung disguise and giving Mas things that were handy for camping? someone must have thought this up

One MSK escaped, a family of relatives get jailed, the witch hunt goes on
to cover up the incompetency of the bearucracy, after all these finger
pointing, people will ask back the same question..

"WHO LET THE DOG OUT?"
"woof ? woof ? Woof ? Woof ? WOOF ! WOOF !" (barking is optional)

The above statement is seen to be contradictory. The situation is very critical and need an experience complainer to resolve it. Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done. This conversation is going no where. It’s lacking the place of a good leader to head the things to come out on conclusion

So there is tremendous disappointment.

Disappointment is the word.
dis he not know that we citizens are more disappointed with him????

1. Every year he travels all over Asia to address the HAZE; and we still
got it.
2. over the continued flooding in the city.

 

[ccchia]

The PAPpies only have a few phrases to divert blame from their incompetence :-
- disappointment
- we were caught off guard
- let's move on
- it was an act of God

We should give them a strong message at the next GE by voting out the fools such as shorty Wong, pinky Loong, Viv and Yaacob. We certainly know who are the ones at fault and should be blamed for all that has gone wrong.
