HE Is Recaptured

There's a piece of big news in today's papers - the alleged leader of an Islamic militant group accused of plotting to crash an airliner in Singapore has finally been arrested in Malaysia after more than a year on the run.

According to the papers, the guy escaped from a high-security detention centre in Singapore by crawling through a toilet window, followed by a swim across the Johor Strait, using an improvised flotation device. He was arrested on 1 April in Johor state. But the news was only confirmed and then announced to the public today. I wonder how the guy felt to be arrested on April Fool's day. Nevertheless, his arrest means a BIG significance to every one of us. It represents an improvement in the security situation in Singapore and the region. We are safer, well... at least for now.

Why would one want to be a terrorist and threaten the peace and lives? Isn't it better to live together in a harmonious world? I cannot comprehend that at all. Maybe we just have different perceptions. Anyway, based on what I have heard about this guy, he seems to have the great potential in sports! I think he can become a good althetic. With a limp, he had acually managed to run, climb and swim effortlessly during his escape! If he had chosen to become a sportman, *OMG* who knows he could be the next gold medallist in SEA and Olympic Games!

Overall, no matter what we choose to do, we must always be responsible for our actions and accept the consequences. Just like when I always choose to bark at the trepassers, I am all ready to get a severe scolding from MM (MM: Yes, our dear Frankie is always barking at anyone who is outside our house. Can't stand his super acute sense of hearing/smelling...).

Last but not least, three BIG Cheers for Singapore!!! Thank you! :D
