Singapore's fugitive hideout, Kampung Tawakal
Fugitive militant Mas Selamat Kastari found the perfect spot to hide - a secluded village in Johor unmarked on any map, not even Google Earth.
He found a traditional kampung house on stilts in Kampung Tawakal, a tiny village with a population of less than 100.
Located about 10km away from the North-South Expressway near the Kempas exit, it is almost impossible to locate for those not familiar with the area.
All around are oil palm trees and there are no signboards pointing to the village as one drives along the main road of Jalan Kampung Maju Jaya.

Indeed, the place was of low resolution satellite images on Google Earth, and almost useless to identify the hideout. See this Google Earth KMZ pointer for a quick nav to the location.
