Major Breach Again

Gosh! I cant believe it! Home Affairs is in the limelight again! How could such negative incidents occur within the jurisdiction of MHA? I am shocked to learn about the latest development. Can someone be kind enough to enlighten me what happen? hahhaa... Our country have always been known as safe and reliable city. Recently, things took a slight change.

The latest incident is abt a Singaporean man, who took a wrong passport and flew to Vietnam! Gasp! As a regular traveler, i understand we were screened at least 3 times before boarding. First, check in counter, second, cisco officer check prior to immigration, lastly, immigration officer check. OMG! 3 guys and none of them discover the error. It really put us to shame when Vietnamese authority found the discrepancy! HELLO! Arent Singapore suppose to be a first world country? I cant believe it lor!

There is something very wrong with the authorities lately. Let me recap a few incidents.

1) Huang Na's murderer Took Leng How, while detained by CID managed to walk across the causeway
2) Mas Selamat Escape from Whitney Detention Centre
3) 2 Offenders Escape from Sub Court
4) Gurkhas Fighting near Mount Vernon
5) Wrong Passport but allow for Boarding

Oh man. Can someone explain what happen. There is undoubtly a major breach of SOPs, procedures or watever. I tot we are very law abiding citizens? We do anything or everything according to procedures, rules and regulation. What happen this time? I am disappointed if such mistakes do repeat.

According to ICA, the staff involved have been suspended from duties, pending for further investigation. ICA chief has assured that a thorough investigation is to be carried out. Well, i wonder if the man who manage to go thru the custom is a wanted man or worst still a terrorist, who is going to be responsible? I guess our neighbours in the region is going to laugh at this so called "developed" or "first class" nation. Boooo........ I pity Singaporeans!
