Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng unveiled further details to the daring escape of JI fugitive Mas Selamat Kastari in Parliament on Monday when he released the Executive Summary of the Committee of Inquiry's report. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong gave his take on Government accountability over the issue. We bring you both speeches in full.

That's how long it may have taken Mas Selamat from the time he jumped out of an unsecured toilet window at the Whitley Road Detention Centre till the time he scaled a double perimeter fence, to his freedom. Mr Wong, who's also Deputy Prime Minister gives a detailed timeline of the JI leader's prison break

The Government has accepted a slew of recommendations put forth by the Committee of Inquiry (COI). Among them - centralising the command and control of the Whitley Road detention centre under the Internal Security Department and building a new detention facility in Changi Prison for political detainees.

The Committee of inquiry (COI) has found no evidence of connivance, collusion or help given to Mas Selamat, on the part of any individual. So there will be no criminal charges filed on any persons. But Mr Wong stressed that this does not mean that the officers accountable for the lapse will not be dealt with.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the last thing Singapore needs is a witch-hunt which'll damage and demoralise the country's intelligence and security agencies. While those responsible for the security lapse will be dealt with, Mr Lee also gave his full backing to Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng.

In his keynote address at the annual Singapore Tripartism Forum, former Manpower Minister Ng Eng Hen - now Education Minister - reflects on the importance of not 'protecting' workers here through a clampdown on the foreign worker quota and a high wage policy. He also elaborates on the way forward for Singapore's workforce.
