It is reported in TRE that two persons have been arrested in connection with the hacking by The Messiah. A James Raj and a Faizal Mohd are now in police custody and both are seeking M Ravi, the famous human rights lawyer to represent them.
James Raj was found to have in his possession devices used for hacking and will be charged under the Computer Misuse Act. Faizal Mohd was arrested for spray painting the word Anonymous in a school. The latter is less likely to be linked to the Messiah given the nature of his act. And it is unsure how is James Raj related to The Messiah or connected at all.
If James Raj is The Messiah or part of Collective Anonymous, then it would be a rare achievement for our men in blue. It is record time in tracking down the hackers that the Americans could not even get near to or smell them.
We are likely to read more about James Raj's story after he is charged in court tomorrow.

Could it be possible James Raj is only a runner for the Messiah?
Just like those runners for the loan sharks?
Most of the time it was reported how police caught those loan shark runners, who themselves may even be debtors to the loan sharks, and got caught doing the dirty work on behalf of the loan sharks.
I had thought that the Messiah is not likely to be based in Singapore, maybe in some faraway place like Paraguay. With Internet, you can operate from any place on earth with internet access, tio bo?
Because it will be a stupid Messiah to be in Singapore and making his/her threat right here against the PAP govt.
If MOM is as efficient in napping some employers for discriminating against Sinkies and arrest a few more fake certificate foreigners like the men in blue....
Wah! Arrest Singaporeans so fast one ah!
What about foreign talents?
Got arrest so fast or not?
James and Faizal can oso be their kakilang.No?
In a World filled with intriques,
anything is possible.
Such as there are thousands
of Anons and some of them
are Messiahs.
And no surprise if some of the
Messiahs are IDA itself.
Many things are possible.-
If they are more similar attacks on govt websites, then we will know James Raj is not the one or perhaps only a runner.
Walau how come the hackers so lau ya one so fast kena caught already hehe
Anonymous ... hacks
Govt spends ... tracks
Taxpayer $$$ ... depletes
Tax ... rises
Anonymous ... pays tax
Happy?

Not really lah. The Raj fella seems to be an rank amateur lah. They traced him to a computer he was using in Malaysia. If he was caught with hacking gear (probably a thumb drive or portable hard drive with DoS tools, packet sniffer, password cracker etc) in his possession, even lagi goondoo. Maybe he even used his own laptop (clueless newbie).
Anyway, it will be interesting to see the details as the case is heard in court.
The real McCoy is still out there. Just count the number of new sites down on maintenance will give you the answer that the Messiah is still smiling.
Looks like they got The Messiah. This is posted in TRE after Raj was charged in court this morning.
'Mr Raj is accused of committing the offence in Malaysia from the Dorchester Apartments at Jalan Sri Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur on 28 October 2013 at about 1.35pm. He was tracked down with the help of Malaysian police.
He is said to have accessed the content management system of AMKTC and modified the contents by adding the image of a Guy Fawkes mask to the website (‘AMK Town Council falls victim to ‘The Messiah’‘).
He is also said to have added a banner with the text:
“I have been to various sites and seen how they take the initiative to secure their systems. You have a brain & you have money. You had a choice. Don’t blame external factors (Anonymous) for this hack. The Messiah ”.
I must praise the ability of the men in blue. One thing I am still curious, is this the same Collective Anonymous that hacked into FBI and other international organisations? Same person or same group?
'Mr Raj is alleged to have also hacked the websites of The Straits Times, PAP Community Foundation and City Harvest Church’s co-founder and singer Sun Ho. James may face further charges later after the police have completed their investigations.
Separately, the police have in custody 5 other suspects who are assisting in investigations into the recent hacking of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and Istana websites. It is understood that the 3 suspects involved in the hacking of the PMO website are family members, while the other 2 in the Istana case are Facebook friends. The men are aged 17 to 45 years.'
The above is in the same article at TRE. This would put the men in blue several notches on top of the FBIs. Please send the FBIs here for training.
9I believe the Anonymous have many different departments. Well, anyway the recent hackers are quite lousy, i was anticipating for something more challenging. Who would be so dumb to hack the government website in the same country. so brainless but yeah this has proven there are people like this who exist in the world. Anyway congrats to those who managed to catch the hackers.
