Terrorism in Singapore, Still Possible?

Singapore is rated as among one of the safest and secure country in the world.

The Jemaah Islamiah escaped fugitive Mas Selamat bin Kasturi is still on the run while there are still some JI members that are in detention center undergoing rehabilitation while there are also others that are released conditionally as they are deemed as "rehabilitated" on their terror ideology.

Most of Singapore's able-bodied men have undergone National Service stint with either the SPF, SCDF or the SAF and there are some who are proactive by volunteering to help monitor the whereabouts of Mas Selamat and keep the police and other Homeland Security agencies of his whereabouts.

Our national security policy and procedures are strong enough to deter would-be terrorists but yet there are still many security loopholes that can still be exploited by terrorists, organized crime syndicates, criminals, etc.

Despite our vigilance and security situational awareness, terror attack is still possible!

What the terrorists lacked (not the intelligence surveys, know-hows or bomb/weapon arsenals) but rather how to execute it perfectly!
