There seems to be so many conjectures about Mas Selamat.

Let's take a look at the various conjectures:

(1) He is not in Singapore - but do not know where
So where is the much vaunted ISD or Singapore's external intelligence? After so many months, still at the guesswork level?

If Mas Selamat is out of Singapore, why does he not broadcast his presence via the internet. There are many countries which has elements sympathetic to these terrorists. He should be safe there.

And if he is in Indonesia for example, why not broadcast as though he is now in Iran? That will make the intelligence services in Singapore give up the chase.


(2) He is in Singapore - kept under cover by sympathetic elements
So where is the much vaunted ISD who do not know who are the sympathetic elements here. Such elements are highly dangerous to Singapore and they do not know who they are?

And if Mas Selamat is in Singapore, why does not he broadcast his presence as though he is out of Singapore, so that the pressure is off him?


(3) Mas Selamat is dead
The drawback to this is the lack of retaliation by his JI members.


(4) Mas Selamat was granted immunity in exchange for leaving Singapore alone
If so, Wong Kan Sing and his negotiators are brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Singapore's F1, Youth Olympics, Marathon, Tourist and Gambling Hub, critical infrastructures and engineering facilities, Sands Resort, gathering of Ministers on National Day and other major events/strategic places are safe!


(5) Mas Selamat is in a coma
If so, then his caretakers must have flown in a complete terrorist medical unit with a make-shift hospital


(6) Mas Selamat has amnesia
If so, he will not know who he is, wanders around and thinking why his face appears everywhere


(7) Mas Selamat has plastic surgery
Possible, but who does the surgery for him?


(8) Mas Selamat gave up on islamic terrorism and now is in hiding from his JI colleagues and Singapore police
???

There you have it - a reasonable list of possible scenarios.

But we are in the realm of guesswork and after all is said and done, your guess is as good as mine.

So long as he and his kind do not trouble us, that is all Singaporeans, foreign talents and permanent residents want for Singapore.
