Description: (Singapore's Most-Wanted Fugitive for Over a Year Before his Rearrest in 2009)
Mas Selamat Kastari, a Muslim Indonesian-born individual, was a person of interest in Singapore for his suspected involvement in terrorist activities. He was arrested by Indonesian anti-terror squads and deported to Singapore in 2006. Although he was suspected of planning a bombing at Singapore Changi Airport in 2002, he was never formally charged with terrorism-related offenses. Instead, he was detained under Singapore's Internal Security Act, which allows for indefinite detention without trial. Mas Selamat's escape from detention in 2008 triggered a significant manhunt, culminating in his eventual recapture in Malaysia in 2009.
