2 Singaporean Businessmen offer $1 million REWARD!

SINGAPORE — A cash reward of S$1 million is being offered for information leading to the apprehension of Mas Selamat inside or outside Singapore.

Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng revealed this in Parliament on Monday in response to a question on fugitive JI leader Mas Selamat.

The million dollar reward has been put up by two private individuals who approached the Home Affairs Ministry.

DPM Wong said the individuals had asked the ministry to operationalise their proposal because they wished to remain anonymous to protect themselves, families or business interests in the region from becoming a target for retaliation.

The House was also reminded that the Singapore Police Force, as a policy does not offer cash rewards for information on fugitives and unsolved crimes,or for assistance from the public.

However, the authorities do not object if private corporations and individuals wish to offer cash reward as a labour—supply company and a non—government organisation did in March, offering $50,000 and $5,000 respectively for information on Mas Selamat.

On the whereabouts of Mas Selamat, the DPM said that up till now, Singapore’s security agencies have not received any information from their Indonesian counterparts to confirm that the JI fugitive is hiding in Indonesia.

Neither has domestic intelligence shown that the Singapore JI leader has left the country.

"We obviously cannot dismiss the possibility that Mas Selamat could have managed to escape Singapore for another country. Singapore is not a fortress" added Mr Wong.

However, if Mas Selamat has escaped abroad, DPM Wong said Singapore will work with the relevant foreign counterparts to track him down and bring him back into custody in Singapore.

Parliament was told that given the time since Mas Selamat’s escape, the scenario of the fugitive harboured by sympathisers inside or outside Singapore must logically be treated as increasingly plausible. However, there is no intelligence at present to substantiate it said Mr Wong.

With a S$1 million reward in place, the two anonymous businessmen who offered the cash are hoping for some breakthrough.

"Whatever you say, $1 million is an eye—catcher and I hope some people will respond to it and give information to capture the fellow” said the 50—something businessman who is offering part of the reward.

Describing himself as a "good citizen" who is not in it for the publicity, the international trading and consultancy businessman said he decided to be part of the S$1 million reward scheme after being told of it by his friend.

“Actually I didn’t really give the matter much thought because I sincerely believe that sooner or later, the Government will catch Mas Selamat.

"But when I learnt from my friend of the proposal to give a reward to help catch the man, I thought it was a good idea."

The friend, a businessman with regional interests and investments, said he was motivated by respect for members of the Home Team and the kind of work they put in.

"Singapore has been good to me and my family. I have lived in many places but there is no place safer for my family than in this country" he said.

The businessman who’s in his forties also revealed that he had long nursed the idea of offering a reward for the capture of Mas Selamat.

"I have thought about it before but I decided to do something now because after 5 months, it is clear that the authorities are not making much headway" he said.

"I hope my cash reward will generate the breakthrough they need."

Members of the public with information on Mas Selamat can call the Counter Terrorism Centre hotline at 1800—262 6473 or the Police at 999.

All information received will be kept confidential and will be verified and investigated.

Lets hope with this attractive reward, Mas Selamat will be arrested soon!

Batman spotted at Vivocity!!!

Finally my loooooong 7 days work week is over!

But its also the start of my new week ahead!

I'll be working 12 days straight with no rest because of my Roadshow at Vivocity. Although I am fatigued, but its all worth the effort because we managed to acquire 200 customers with such a mini-scale roadshow.

I think my team did a great job

Anyway, back to my post. While I was at the roadshow, I spotted a "brown thing" walking past me yesterday, so I was trying to see what it was all about. I followed it for a while like a paparazzi, but gave up after realising it was covered up fully, from head to toe.

There were 2 "bodyguards", one on his left, and the other on his right, so I could not get anywhere close to that mysterious "guy/gal/thing".

The only thing that came to my mind was "Is this a publicity stunt for Scream 10?" Haha.



1 hour later, I spotted Batman!!!!

Do you see him?

At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Then I asked my staff, and she confirmed it was Batman.



I whipped out my camera and could only take 3 very lousy shots, because batman was literally "flying". He walked so fast that I only managed to take a half front shot of him, a back shot and a side shot.



Maybe he was rushing to another cinema to do his publicity for Batman.



So the brown man I spotted earlier on was actually Batman in disguise.

Where is the Joker?

Talking about Joker, I have read so many reviews and articles that Heath Ledger's portrayal of Joker is his best role so far, and in fact the best portrayal of Joker as well. Its a tad sad that Heath did not get to enjoy the fruits of his "funny" labour, and he had to pass on before the movie was released.

I have yet to catch the movie because of work, and I hope I will have time to catch the movie next weekend! Hopefully it won't be like THIS:

Top 3 First Class Airlines

If you have the money to splurge, ever wondered which airlines give you the best service and most unforgetable experience?

TOP 3 First Class Airlines:

1. Qatar Airways

Flying first-class here means access to a separate terminal in Doha that mimics a five-star hotel with several fine-dining restaurants, a medical center, and a spa with sauna and Jacuzzi. On board passengers get caviar service, full-size pillows, white linen mattresses, Australian wool blankets and Bulgari toiletry kits. The seats are 79 inches long, have 15-inch LCD screens and come with a 23-inch meal table that allows dining for two, just as in a restaurant.



2. Singapore Airlines

Passengers here have total control of their experience including picking between Dom Perignon and Krug champagne and food whenever they want it and however they want it whether it's an extravagant five-course blowout or a quick meal served all at once. The seats are 82 inches long and 35 inches wide. Fliers are given a Ferragamo toiletry kits, Givenchy sleep suits and slippers. Seats flatten into beds with sheets, a down duvet and oversize pillows.



3. Cathay Pacific

Seats here become 'suites,' thanks to sliding panels that provide total privacy. They turn into 81-inch-long beds and have built-in massagers. Each flier also gets a personal closet to store belongings. Cathay got high marks for its food: It's one of the only carriers to have rice cookers, skillets and toasters onboard, so parts of meals are prepared fresh, like eggs made to order.



Still not luxurious enough? Then maybe its time to get your own name embossed on a plane, a private jet that is!

Head of Ren Ci Hospital arrested

While I am still recovering from the NKF saga few years back, yet another shocking news about a charity head mis-appropriating funds surfaced today. I seriously think I am not going to donate a single cent, the next time I see charity acts on tv again.

So much for that tear-jerking "acts" by HIM every year!

Worst part is, tax exemption will not be granted for people who donated to Ren Ci!!!

---------------------------------


THE long-time head of Ren Ci Hospital, the Venerable Ming Yi, was arrested yesterday and stepped down from all his positions at the charity, according to a report by The Straits Time.

He posted police bail of $200,000 last night and left the Commercial Affairs Department at the Police Cantonment Complex at about 11pm after giving his statement. He was wearing his monk robes.

The Straits Times said that the arrest comes five months after he went on long leave when the police were asked to probe the charity's finances.

The Health Ministry found 'possible irregularities' in Ren Ci's books after an audit.

At the heart of the issue were questionable loans made by the hospital, amounting to several million dollars. Some of these loans were allegedly given to companies with links to the Venerable Ming Yi.

There were also loans given to a helper with the charity as well as investments made over the years in his name.

As a result of the probe, Ren Ci lost the right to grant its supporters tax exemption for donations
