Literal translation is “boundless fist”, typified by exceedingly slow movement); resonates with somewhat long-winded but ultimately, powerful reaction.
A blend of Yin and Yang response that attempts balance to a situation of a perverse escape of a ruthless killer as a result of adept skill or hopeless carelessness.
A “boundless fist” that will preempt multiple wallops - not apparent at first blow of course – which also might not seem apparent owing to a lot of stylish talk; thus confusing an audience expecting a more immediate, crass and direct response.
The slow moving actions frustrates the impatient opponent; but there are reasons more profound because opposing forces only want answers they want to hear, but not reasons they cannot yet comprehend.
Mas will be found eventually, and it is important to know why not yet; but it is also never too soon to admit why Tai Chi cannot be applied to sheer responsibility for his disappearance - it is not the best counter strike.
Steering away the point of focus slowly will not purportedly bring about a state of mental calm and clarity.

so lets wait and see what happens after 太极 masters enter the fray... Whether the fraternity will stand up in arms together like V for Vendetta or simply lavish praise on Zhang San Feng.

Mas Selamat Escape According to COI
While Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister, Wong Kan Seng, presents the findings of the Committee of Inquiry on Mas Selamat's escape from the Whitley Road Detention Centre on 27 February this year, Reuters reports Mas Selamat's escape with the following headlines "Militant escaped without trousers, remains in Singapore"A suspected Islamic militant fled without his trousers from an unlocked toilet window at a Singapore detention centre, but is thought to be still in the city-state two months after his escape, the government said on Monday.

From the photo of the fencing shown (double fencing and yet MSK is able to get out), I guess there should be more gaps in the security at the WRDC that cannot be revealed.

THIS IS ANFIELD. CHEL$KI GO FLY KITE
Sometime back last year I wrote about the cloud being casted over Rafa Benitez's future as Liverpool manager after the 3-0 win over the Magpies and the Reds' impressive performance that day.
5 months on that cloud still looms large and a storm engulfs it and many others as we approach a third European Cup semi final in four years.
It is only when you take a look at the first of them semi finals (and indeed the final) and compare the team which Benitez worked wonders with in 2005 to the team and squad he has assembled today. The two are definitely worlds apart.
Instead of Fernando Torres up front with 30 goals to his name for this season you have Milan Baros with a mere 13 goals. For Javier Mascherano we got our very own hunchback of Notre Dame, Igor Biscan (who replaced the suspended Xabi Alonso for the return leg), in defence you have our very own Gimme-an-Heart-attack Djimi Traore rather than Martin Skrtel.
In fact, the only players likely to start on Tuesday night who were part of the team which defeated Chelsea 1-0 courtesy of Luis Garcia's early goal are Carragher, Hyypia and Gerrard. It shows the overhaul Benitez has performed and provides another insight into why his work should not be undone by a change of manager this summer.
But The strenghts of Benitez does not only lie in the starting 11 but its in the quality of our Subs which shows the difference, Tomorrow night RB will be able to call on Peter Crouch to add a new problem for the Chelsea defence, while before it was the erratic Djibril Cisse, with Smicer, Nunez and Kewell as other possible replacements. 3 years on Benitez can call on the likes of Yossi Benayoun to potentially change a game or create a new problem, a player with 2 hat-tricks to his name this season.
Take the comparison between young midfielder John Welsh, now struggling to get a game with Hull and recently loaned out to Chester, versus Lucas Leiva - the former Brazilian under 20 captain and Brazilian footballer of the year. With all respect to Welsh, it shows the difference between then and now.
Whatever happens on Tuesday night, the success of the last three years cannot be underestimated.
In Rafa We Trust
2005 team: Dudek, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore, Garcia, Hamann, Biscan, Riise, Gerrard, Baros.
Subs: Carson, Smicer, Warnock, Welsh, Cisse, Nunez, Kewell.
2008 team (Probable): Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Hyypia, Aurelio, Mascherano, Alonso, Kuyt, Gerrard, Babel, Torres.
Subs: Itandje, Finnan, Riise, Crouch, Lucas, Voronin, Benayoun.
Mas Selamat Escape Aftermath: The Report
How Come Urinal Got Door One?
Most of the men quizzed by TalkingCock were bugged by one particular detail: that Mat Alamak had used a "urinal cubicle" and "closed the door", after which he escaped through an unsecured ventilation window.
"Since when urinal got cubicle one?" asked Mr. Khee Shee Shee, 42. "And since when got door?"
"All this time, people thought he must have gone to berak because that's really the only time people close the door, betul tak?" said Mr. Mohd Kencing bin Tandas, 28. "Learning that he could escape while peeing really pisses me off!"
"Why would anyone build a urinal cubicle with doors, unlike 99.999% of most male toilets?" ranted Mr. Khee. "Is it because at ISD they're too shy to see each other's ku ku chiao? Mini-star Wong talks about them like they're so tua kee, but if they must have doors to hide, then they must be dickless wonders!"
Did PCK Help MSK?
According to the State's Times: "grilles had not been fixed to that particular toilet window due to a misunderstanding between the ISD and the contractor. The superintendent of the centre, who was alerted to this weakness in May 2007, asked the contractor to saw off the window handle as a security measure instead, which Mr Wong said was a bad judgement on the superintendent's part."
According to respondents of the poll, the number one question was whether the contractor in question was Phua Chu Kang.
"In tenders for sensitivie public buildings, we expect the Gahmen to have chosen only the best in Singapore, and maybe also JB and Batam," said Mrs. Quah Thean See. "Which leaves really only one suspect."
Respondents called for an investigation into PCK Pte Ltd, including issues like:
• How come run contractor company can also have TV show?
• Doesn't that prove he's not paying attention to work?
• How come can get Gahmen contract, but still dun get rid of the cheapo perm?
When informed that Phua Chu Kang was a fictitious character, the respondents did not back down.
"If they can make him up, then maybe they're making up stuff in the report too!" huffed Mrs. Quah.
CCTV at Polling Centre, But Not Detention Centre?
Respondents were also aghast that our closed-circuit surveillance systems could be operating at polling centres (where one's vote is supposed to be secret) and at resolutions high enough to identify the documents that opposition politicians are sneaking into their bags, but not working at the nation's highest security detention centre, housing terrorists.
"I think we should install CCTV at the Cabinet's offices, to see if they're really working for their multi-million dollar salaries or not," suggested Mr. Bak Chor Mee. "Must check if, like the CCTVs at Whitley, they're damn switch off."
How Did WKS Escape?
Possibly the biggest question of all for the respondents was: how did Hum Affairs Mini-star and Jaga-in-Chief WongKan Singh escape liability?
"In other countries, by right, if you got a giant cockup under you, whether or not you yourself did the cockup, you boh pian must resign leow," said Mdm Avoy Ding. "But in Singapore, you can just carry on and earn big money.
Also, the Criminal Investigation Department found "no indication of criminal negligence, intentional omission and collusion by any of the staff at the Whitley Road Detention Centre" and "has also decided not to take action against anyone", and that regular professional disciplinary procedures will be instituted instead.
"Now we know that in Singapore, losing a homicidal terrorist because of a cock up with contractors, adding doors to places that don't usually have doors, having super lepak monitoring procedures in a high security facility, all this stuff is not criminal negligence," said Mr. Chin Too Lan, 37. "If Mat Alamak manages to kill somebody later, can we Singaporeans sue the Gahmen for civil negligence?"
But when Mr. Chin telephoned his lawyer to pose that question, he was informed that his lawyer was too busy tendering for the contract to handle Gahmen defamation suits against JBJ's new party.
