SINGAPORE — A 15-year-old self-radicalised student who has been detained by law last December was assessed by the Internal Security Department (ISD) to be posing an imminent security threat that warranted preventive detention.
who has been detained by law last December was assessed by the Internal Security Department to be posing an imminent security threat that warranted preventive detention.
ISD said that the 15-year-old was willing to undertake armed violence either in Singapore or overseas to establish an Islamic caliphate. This was why he was given a Restriction Order subjecting him to strict supervision instead of being detained. Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said before that Singapore does not tolerate people who are thinking of supporting terrorist organisations.
Industry involvement is also critical and ISD acknowledged that technology companies have stepped up efforts in recent years to prevent and disrupt terrorists’ abuse of their online platforms and services.
