'We will become an expert in that. The Singapore experience will help us to make sure he does not escape a second time,' he told reporters at a press conference on Friday.
The leader of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiah terror network is being held under Malaysia's Internal Security Act. Hishammuddin refused to disclose where or when Mas Selamat was arrested, except confirming that 'he is in our custody and being investigated.'
'He was planning something, which allowed us to arrest him,' said the minister.
Asked whether Mas Selamat was planning to create unrest here, he replied: 'I can't go into details. It is too sensitive as it involves three parties and intelligence agencies from Indonesia, Singapore as well as Malaysia. This is something that I cannot say because it involves other people as well.' -- NST
