After nearly 2 months from that incident, the whole nation engrossed to the TV set and patiently waited for the verdict.
The Minister took the stand and gave the full account of what had actually happened to the terrorist, who escaped the so-called "tightly secured" detention cell.
My mind was wildly anticipating scenes like from the TV series 'Prison Break', where unexplainable modus operandi might have made the impossible escape possible.
All were dead silence when he finally revealed "the most crucial factor" for the escape. - The Window.

The taglines: "so simple as to appear silly and incredible", "found no evidence of convinance, collusion or assistance", "crept into the operating culture", "costly and painful wake-up call"
Where too many mouthful words were used, they finally concluded that the first blame has to be pointed to the small window in the toilet!
Due to the sensitive details of the investigation, they decided it was not possible to release the entire report without harming national interest and endangering the men and women who serve the nation. Only keen and valid interest were made public.
Seriously, I found it amusing. Amused not because of the incident, but the guts to stand with a straight face and preached lullaby hoping to lull the nation to sleep.
For the speech finale, the minister has thanked the public who offered their ideas and help to the Government, and also to those who wrote to him or blogged on the Internet expressing anger and in some cases, abuse.
"I understand their frustration" he added. (Wow! He reads blogs too?)
"I am deeply grateful for the way Singaporeans have rallied behind our efforts, even as they rightly expect a proper accounting. This is why I have given Members (of Parliament) and the public a full account of what happened, what we will do to fix the problem and ensure that the same problem does not happen again in the future."
Ironically this time, Bill Gates didn't get the blame for the "Windows" problem...hahaha!
Before elaborating further, go fix the windows first, ok?
(Case closed. Let's move on!)
