Latest TODAY column is: The Great Mr Tekong Manhunt Contest
Excerpt:
In American action movies, you usually see your typical action movie formula where the hero single-handedly takes on an entire army by himself, then proceeds to exterminate all the military opposition (even though he may only be a fireman), free the hostages, and has time to become the mayor of California.
Singapore had a similar event, except that it was three robbers versus 700 elite soldiers. And the 700 soldiers won. Less “Rambo”, more “3 Men and an Army”.
Allegedly, these three armed Indonesian guys (I said three armed, not three-armed, there were three of them and they were armed) had robbed some Malaysians of their money and handphones, and escaped on their motorized sampan. Spoilt for choice in the Getaway Island Department, these three Einsteins had to choose… yes, a Singapore island. An island for training military recruits. An island filled with armed troops and instructors. Belonging to the most kiasu anti-gun country in the world.
We are talking Darwin Awards stupidity here, folks.
