2. Be on your guard. Awaken the Giant in you

Mr Lloyd Yeo spoke about awakening the giant in you. He told the school that it was always important to be alert and to do the right things. Citing examples of how Montfort boys had prevented a gang fight by contacting the police and how others had contacted the police when they spotted suspicious teens breaking into a house, Mr Yeo emphasized the importance of civic virtue and civic consciousness.

He then read out excerpts from the Straits Times about Mas Selamat Kastari, the JI leader, who fled from Internal Security Department's Whitley Road centre on Feb 28. He had allegedly planning to crash a hijacked plane into Singapore's Changi Airport. Mr Yeo told the boys to be on the lookout for strangers in the school and for suspicious looking people in public places. He also flashed the wanted man's list to the school.

Mas Selamat had earlier been arrested in February 2003 in the island of Bintan to assist Indonesian police in their investigations of several bombings in Indonesia in 2001 and 2002. Mas Selamat had changed his identity, assuming the name of Edy Heriyanto and obtained an Indonesian passport. Found in his possession were literature on making bombs. He was jailed for 18 months in 2003 for immigration offence. On 20 January 2006, he was arrested again for using a fake identity card in Java, where he was visiting his son who was said to be studying at a religious school there. Singapore requested for Mas Selamat's extradition and he was handed over to Singapore on February 3
