Over a hearty post lunch chit chat in the simulator, a few of us trainees and our instructors were complaining about how costly it is just to survive on an inch in Singapore.
Owing to the nature of this topic, we couldnt really progress it further with our instructors( no constructiveness in complaining ), and some wise guy among us carefully shifted the attention to this character , someone of great influence to the northerly folks in Marsiling and Woodlands - Mas Selamat. For those who were near kranji mrt for the past 4 days, you could vouch for that statement.
Just last saturday night i was told by my MPC facilitator to make last minute plans to travel to another place( in holy innocents secondary ) for MPC session the following sunday morning because the original venue ( St Joseph Institution) was out-of-bounds to the public.
If this Mas Selamat was really smart enough, he wont even think of staying a few km from where he found freedom on the 27th Feb. If you were to ask me, i would disregard the option of waiting for ants to crawl into my pants among sparse vegetation, gambling my time with the SOC peeps searching hi and low for me.
Or probably this guy werent as smart. Maybe emotions got over him - the fact that he made it out all by himself ( i'm really assuming here from the news and reports ).
He might have braved his guts across the thorny vegetation ( was it called mimosa? ), surviving on his pure instinct of survival yet in the end succumb to elements of no food, unfavorable tropical climate and most importanly lack of insulation ( it had been days of isolated showers )
Maybe this Mas Selamat already had reached his physical limits and is now part of some fertilisation process of those trees you conveniently whiz through as you drive along BKE/SLE.
Till the day someone can prove this, we will continue to see the jams and traffic pile ups in Northerly Singapore.
