Did he know Qi Men Dun Jia?

. This man created a hoo-ha few years ago when he successfully escaped from the detention centre in Singapore and later fled to our neighbouring country. I happened to read the details of the findings by the Committee of Inquiry found online and i was quite intrigued by the fact that how this limping man was able to escape from this heavily guarded and secured premises. I was wondering if he knew Qi Men Dun Jia.

Let me first copy and paste a couple of paragraphs from the report on Mas Selemat's Esccape.

"The COI finds that on Wednesday, 27 Feb 2008, Mas Selamat escaped from
WRDC between 3:54pm and 4:05pm. He was scheduled for his weekly family
visit from 4:00pm to 4:30pm. The family visit was to take place in an assigned
Family Visit Room, in a Family Visitation Block, at WRDC. As part of the
family visit routine, Mas Selamat was escorted by two Gurkha Contingent
(“GC”) guards and a WRDC Special Duty Operative (“SDO”) to a changing
room for him to change out of the WRDC-issued attire into his own civilian
clothes. Mas Selamat was then escorted to a toilet located next to the Family
Visit Room to shave and comb his hair as part of the family visit routine. After
entering the urinal cubicle inside the toilet, Mas Selamat closed the urinal
cubicle door. He flipped a pair of greenish-grey pants that he was wearing over
the concrete ledge above the urinal cubicle door, and turned on the water tap
inside this cubicle."

"Having climbed down the water pipe, Mas Selamat was on the ground at the
rear of the Family Visitation Block. There is no conclusive evidence of the
exact route Mas Selamat took to escape. However, the COI’s view is that Mas
Selamat was likely to have used a route 20 metres to the right of the ventilation
window [as one faces the perimeter fences from the ventilation window].


Based on the report, I gathered information on the timing and direction of his escape. With this, I am able to plot the Qi Men hour chart (see below) for that moment to see if we can fish out some clues. The Qi Men hour chart for that hour was Yang 9th Ju.

Based on what was mentioned in the report that Mas Selemat was likely to use the direction towards the right of the window, we can say that he was running towards northeast direction. In this case, the northeast sector, Gen Palace, contains Du door (杜门). Among the 8 Wondrous Doors, this door is not really an auspicious door. However, the exceptions are when it is used for hunting and escaping.

In addition, there is a formation known as 地户逢星 derived from the combination between the heaven and earth stems. In the classic, it is written that one can leverage on its energy to go "invisible" or basically undetected. It is also applicable for people who want to disengage themselves with the world and become a hermit.

Qi Men Dun Jia is famously known and used by military strategists and astrologers like Zhu Ge Liang and Liu Bo Wen to help their state to gain an upper hand during war. Today, one can use it for interviews, negotiation, debt collection, games, examinations, marriage proposal and etc.

To conclude, one can always say that this case study is pure coincidence. Well, my intention is merely to bring up such uncanny coincidence to people who are learning and reading up on Qi Men Dun Jia.
