The Man Hunt

So this guy was in prison. He went to the bathroom, apparently while waiting for a visit from his family, and he escapes.

Details:
He's the head of Jemaah Islamiya in Singapore
Singapore has some of the best security for their prisons in the world
Singapore is a self contained, SMALL island

WHY THE HELL DID THIS GUY GET AWAY, AND WHY THE HELL CAN'T THEY FIND HIM!?

I just don't understand.
Why did they let such a bad dude go to the bathroom by himself in a place where you can apparently escape?
This country is all looking for him. There are posters everywhere. There were at least 10 pages today in the newspaper devoted to the man hunt, AND, yesterday, all people in Singapore got a text to their hand phone with a picture of him! He's on all of the buses, restaurant windows...everywhere.

So my first day in Singapore I ran into our friend Christian. I'm telling you, this country is really small. There's just no excuse that they haven't found him yet.
