Re: Heng Ah! No need to send SOTF to rescue

Just watched the evening Chinese news. A female member of the group confirmed that she and her hubby were the original targets but the the leader volunteered himself. What a man!

On a side note, the hero's wife is a chio MILF.

Re: Heng Ah! No need to send SOTF to rescue

I am really wondering why singkies are so gungho to want to travel to Egypt around this time - the common joke in the Middle East is based on how lowly Egyptians are viewed through other Arab eyes i.e. they are so pathetic that they can't even organise a revolution. Of course this was not how it was during the days of the height of pan-arabism but post Nasser, Sadaat decimated the intellectual class and society is rotten to the core and strife now.

This is the worse time to travel there given a large degree of chaos and shifting events and they probably will need another 12 months to figure things out if at all - given the strength of the Muslim Brotherhood, clearly not a good time to visit the region generally (although Egypt is technically on the African continent).

P.S. I am not sure how many people know this but there are a sizeable number of singkie Malay/Yemeni Arab Muslims studying in the famous Al-Azhar University - these students were safely evacuated during the early days of the uprising against Mubarak. Although there are also a number of Malay/Yemeni Arab Muslims also studying in Yemen I am unaware whether they were evacuated during the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Probably MOFA took a view that if these students were crazy enough to venture to Yemen, they probably had thought of a suitable exit plan.

Vincent Toh can now become President of S'pore. PrataMan once offered himself as hostage during Laju incident. Vincent too!

Too late for Vincent. He cannot be CP. Ex-CP Tee Tua Bah also sama sama with PrataMan.

Those terrorists should have helped us saved a few million dollars, which could have gone to the POOR, not that poor thing! ha ha ha ha

TRUE.The hostage group was given a choice to comply with instructions issued by the terrorists.

6 unmasked terrorists stormed the bus and pointed 6 machines guns at the group.Everyone balls crammed in their seats.No one dared to make noise or be funny.Everyone co-operated,fearing the slightest or careless action might agitate the terrorists.3 of the terrorist were the unstable sort,anytime can snapped.

These terrorists were possibly from a tribal radical organisation.Not sure what their cause was.The Singaporean who volunteered did it in the interest of the group by following the orders of the terrorist to a unknown desert location.He had a noose tied round his neck,was dragged around and beaten numerous times till almost unconscious by the terrorists.

The terrorists questioned the religious background of the tour members,many whom were Christians on pilgramage.No one disclosed their religion.

From overt sources, he volunteered. No idea true or not.

They were afraid that these terrorist could be Palestinians.Even if not so,these terrorists could also be the minorities in Israel.If the tour members disclosed their religious identities,its a 50-50 chance God awaits them at Sinai.

Why didn't they disclose their religion? Their christian god would have come to their rescue, I think. :rolleyes:

Re: Heng Ah! No need to send SOTF to rescue

The real hero of this drama is not vincent.It was actually a member in the group who plucked up the courage to call home and informed family members about the situation at hand.

Authorities at the embassy took over.vincent could have died in vain for his valour if not for that call.Telco network connection was poor but thanks to this person who discreetly acted without fear at the time when attention of the terrorists was distracted,the situation could have spired into madness like the manila hostage crisis.
