Singapore’s border needs to be more secure
The recent arrest of Mas Selamat Kastari, a terrorist held under Singapore’s Internal Security Act, in Johor, Malaysia on 1 April revealed the limitation of Singapore’s border control measures.
Singapore’s Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong affirmed this on Sunday, “the fact that he was able to swim away despite our tightened border security following his escape from Whitley Road Detention Centre shows that it is not impossible for a very determined and trained terrorist to enter or leave Singapore undetected.”
Mas Selamat, a leader of the Jemaah Islamiah terror network, escaped from the Whitley Detection Centre on 27 February 2008. Singapore and Malaysian authorities had since been trying to track him down. Authorities claimed that he had swam more than one kilometre to Stulang, Johor, using a mere flotation device.
A security expert told Asian Security Review that the authorities have coastal surveillance capabilities which involve tracking of tagged vessels. However, these tracking capabilities, together with the intermittent patrols by the Police Coast Guard, are obviously insufficient.
