Prison Break

Just as I was flying out of Malaysia a few days ago, reading the English language daily handed out on the plane, I found out some interesting news had broken: The headline read "105 escape from detention depot, 25 nabbed".
Around 10 a.m. the previous morning, a large group of detainees of a deportation centre outside of Kuala Lumpur rioted and 105 persons subsequently managed to escape as the barbed wire fence surrounding the incarcerating institution was torn down, overwhelming the guards by their sheer numbers. Police set up roadblocks, but hopefully many of the run-aways managed to hide in the jungles and palm oil estates around that area.
Most of the escapees were Myanmar nationals, but others also from Iran, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal and Vietnam.

The difference to Western Europe is of course the difficulty presented by a break-out from prison (hired helicopters, anyone?), and the fact that our mainstream media would not be allowed to report such an incidence...
