SINGAPORE : The search for Mas Selamat Kastari, the Jemaah Islamiyah fugitive who escaped from the Whitley Road Detention Centre last Wednesday, continued in various parts of Singapore on Thursday.

Police officers and SAF soldiers on Thursday first searched the wooded area along the Kranji Expressway. The search extended to Labrador Park later in the day.

A close watch is also being kept on parts of Singapore's shoreline where Mas Selamat may try to leave the country.

So far, police have received some 600 phone calls and 170 e-mails related to the search for Mas Selamat. - CNA/ms
