Summary
Fugitive terrorist Mas Selamat was harboured in a brother's Housing Board flat in Tampines two days after he broke free from the Whitley Road Detention Centre (WRDC) in 2008, and provided with food, money and a disguise.
His brother, Asmom, Asmom's wife Aisah, and their children Nur Aini and Mahadir was said to help Mas Selamat on his escaped.
Three were convicted last week and sentenced to between three months and 18 months in jail. The fourth, Mahadir, was let off with a stern warning.
Why I choose this article
I choose this article because this news was very epic and shocking on the year 2008. Everyone was really curious where did Mas Selamat hide and after reading this news, i felt that it was not fully the family fault on habouring Mas Selamt, rather partially was also the Police fault. They did not check his brother house thoroughly and allow Mas Selemat to be on the street freely.
Question I want to ask
Singapore is a very small country and why governement still cannot find Mas Selamat in a short time.
If i were to control the situation
I will take this incident as a lesson learnt and do not repeat it again. I will also give their family councelling and also not punish them severly as i think it was normal for family to help with their relative.
