Re-reading the Jemaah Islamiyah White Paper (released 7 Jan 2003) for the official threat assessment, I was then reminded that Mas Selamat had previously managed to flee before the Internal Security Department's Dec 2001 dragnet.

The recent exchanges between Nominated MP Viswa Sadasiva and PAP Ministers and MPs in parliament appear to reveal an unexpected victory for the PAP in trumpeting its commitment to vague ideals of the Singapore pledge.

The exit of Ho Ching can be seen as the rebranding of Temasek as a Government-Linked Company to a domestic crowd, and as a Sovereign Wealth Fund to an international audience.
