THE young and old in Marsiling rallied together in the search for wanted terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari on Wednesday by distributing posters around their neighbourhood.

About 60 volunteers, including 30 senior citizens, went to the market at Block 21 Marsiling Lane in the morning, giving out about 2,000 posters on the wanted man, who has been on the run for over a week now.

Separately, 30 teenagers - some on bicycles and others on foot - distributed another 1,000 notices to residents in other parts of Marsiling and Woodlands in the afternoon.

Mr Kwek Seng Bee, a retiree and treasurer of Sembawang Zone 'A' Residents' Committee, which initiated the effort, said that most residents are aware of the search for fugitive through the media.

'But we must keep on reminding them, until he's been arrested,' said the 77-year-old, adding that the volunteers will continue the campaign till Sunday.
