As the Singapore security personnels are out on full force searching for this man, I guess it is in everyone’s mind as how one man can escape a ‘tight’ security detention center. Latest news I heard is that, he went to the toilet and he escaped. I guess he must have been escorted to the toilet but even if he leaves the toilet through the window or some other exit, the toilet is still within the compounds of the Detention Center right? And like any secure prison, CCTV cameras are all over the place. Especially around the perimeters of the area. So if anyone tries to escape through the fence, it would be caught by the security cameras. Bear in mind that the perimeters has barb wires and other things that I am not sure of, that would deter anyone trying to enter or escape.
My guess is that he escaped through the gates. Maybe he hoped onto a moving vehicle, maybe he stole a uniform somewhere and exited the compound casually. All that is just speculation, but this guy, from my opinion, is an elusive character. He might just be the David Blaine of Indonesia. The reason why I said so is because, escaping from a Detention Centre or any prison of that matter in Singapore is quite unheard of. Maybe this guy had DVDs of ‘Prison Break’ shows during his detention. Ok, I am being sarcastic.
How he manages to escape is anyone’s guess, who ever was in charge of escorting him must be kicking himself in the butt for letting such an important man escape. And knowing this guy is from Indonesia, and has networks all over the islands of Indonesia, it would be easy for him to just island hop around.
Speculation has been going around that he has already left Singapore, this escape could probably even have been planned. Why I said that? Well the news did say his family came to visit him. Probably a distraction. And the meeting is on another part of the detention center. The toilets there I think isn’t as secure as the ones in his cell. Just the right time to be excused to use the toilet.
The public was told of this incident 4 hours after he was found missing. 4 solid hours is more than enough to escape Singapore. You just need less than an hour to get almost anywhere around Singapore. Then you just need to hop on a boat and get to the nearest non-Singapore island in less than 45 minutes. Ok, maybe you are wondering if anyone would offer him a ride, frankly if you have the cash to offer the driver, I am sure he would take you out of Singapore easily. Bear it mind that the ocean is a big place and many boats and ships go in and out of Singapore, you can’t really keep track of every aquatic transport.
You know, just to add salt to the wound, this man walks with a limp. And we have the fittest men on the island looking for a limping man.
Right now I am guessing that he had a transport since he is a limping man, having a transport to get you to your destination is the most viable alternative than running. That is why I feel like his escape was planned. Maybe when his family visited him when he was still in custody in Indonesia, they discussed his plot to escape. Indonesia has many languages, they could have openly discussed it in front of the guards who are clueless as to what they were talking about.
Oh well, so much for ‘tight’ security. No, I have not lost my confidence on Singapore’s security, our tax payers money are well spent, you can see it around everywhere. I just hope they catch him soon, because as time passes, the chances of catching him goes slim.
