Later on the same evening, news finally broke that 200 cops went on a manhunt for this guy, and finally tracked him down via his mobile phone in Orchard Cineleisure. No details were given by the media.
However the blogosphere was abuzz with details. It is said that his girlfriend broke up with him in April this year (her blog has been deleted as of this writing. Poofed, vanished). Not only that, she left him for a GIRL (butch). Man he must be feeling like hell, to be dumped by a girl, FOR a girl.
He only has just one more month before he completes his full-time service. Just ONE more month. Now, I don't know how it is now, but back in my day, when you have 1 more month to go, you don't get *any* sort of duties. Everyone will know you already have "switched off" and they don't really plan you into any sort of duty rosters.
So how did he get arrowed to guard duty? I suspect he must have "volunteered" for it, by "buying" the duty off another guy. So, it appears he might have planned this, so, pleading insanity in court probably won't work. Also, it is said that he jumped a back fence and there was a vehicle to pick him up. Smacks of "pre-meditation" to me. Sounds like he knew he was going to ORD soon, and doing guard duty was the last chance he'll ever get to obtain a weapon and live ammo.
Then he shows up in Orchard Cineleisure, a known haunt of his ex-gf. With a SAR21 rifle and ammo? Doesn't take a genius to work out what he wanted. Many people just think he wanted to "scare" the ex-gf and her current beau. A colleague was saying, if he wanted to kill the girl, he could just have used a knife. True. But, I'm thinking he didn't go through all this trouble and risk being charged for a "scare tactic". I think he was planning to SNIPE the butch, not the ex-gf. I don't think he wanted to be up close and personal when he goes through with the deed.
The SAR-21 he stole from camp has a built-in scope on it. Yeah, not a very powerful one, perhaps 2x or so, but in Orchard Cineleisure, it's enough. Also, 5 rounds ammunition really won't be enough for a auto-burst anyway, but probably just nice for sniping. Since it's an ASSAULT rifle.... it'll do quite some damage if he put it into burst mode. Innocent bystanders who happened to be near his "kill zone" will be hurt and/or killed.
I'm just glad the cops managed to get him before anything happened.
If he does get convicted (HAH! Who am I kidding? This is SINGAPORE. He'll get deep fried and hung out to dry), he'll get jail time and a few strokes of rotan. He is at least lucky to be caught NOT brandishing the weapon, or else it's automatically a death penalty.
