Oh, Nicholas
said not to fight, hide and run, you are no match to the terrorists. This is
the best piece of advice but on second thought, where to hide, where to run in this
piece of rock when half the population are foreigners?

Fang also quoted Shanmugam saying that ‘The fact that members of the public had
not noticed anything suspicious is worrying’. Is Shanmugam serious when making
this comment? To me, everyone of the foreigners here is suspicious and looks
like a terrorists. And I think most of the average Singaporeans who did not
know what a terrorist looks like would share the same view. The terrorists
never wear a badge on their forehead to say ‘I am a terrorist!’ So what to
expect from the people? To the people ignorance is bliss.
Put it this
way, if the terrorists were holding a meeting in the kopitiams with all the
people around them, who would know what the hell they are talking about even if
they are planning to bomb the Istana?
Anyone understand what they are saying, undertand their language? They
did not have to hold their meetings in hideouts. They can hold their meetings
right before our eyes and no one is wiser.
What does
Shanmgam expect the people to notice? The general public are not uninterested?
They simply have no clue who is a terrorist, who is not. And the two million
foreigners are all over us, living with us, working with us, in sensitive
organizations and jobs, in mundane jobs, in top jobs, who would know which one
is a terrorist or working for terrorist organizations, or going to be self
radicalised?
Oh, Nicholas
article also quoted this, ‘He also revealed that the information that had led
to the arrests did not come from the community.’ So, if there was no such
information from somewhere else, the terrorists would still be operating here
happily and peacefully right? Then how to expect the ordinary people to know
better?
Maybe a
safer option is to advertise to the terrorists that this is a friendly place
for them to build their bases as long as they don’t attack us and we would not
‘kacho’ them. What do you think? Win win solution.
There are
more than 2 millions of them here! How many are potential terrorists, have
connections with terrorist organizations, will be self radicalized? And who
brought them here?
