"Steeped in the belief that 'disbelievers' should be killed, in late 2022, the youth had considered conducting knife attacks to behead non-Muslims in popular tourist areas in Singapore... he also thought about being a suicide bomber, and fantasised about exploding himself," ISD said.
Revealing that he had the idea last year to kill non-Muslims with a knife at a popular local tourist attraction and also had thoughts of being a suicide bomber after being exposed to terrorist propaganda online, ISD said: The ISD added that the young man had even considered travelling to Afghanistan and was willing to support any group that was seeking to establish an Islamic caliphate in Singapore or abroad, including participating in armed jihad, killing “disbelievers” or conducting suicide operations. He is said to have “viewed dying as a martyr to be the responsibility of all Muslims.”
Meanwhile, a 16-year-old Secondary Four student was issued a restriction order under the ISA for similar ideations this January.Like the 15-year-old, this youth “had an interest in far-right extremist content, including those which were anti-Semitic and supportive of neo-Nazi groups whose ideologies promoted a “race war”.”
He eventually created and uploaded three ISIS propaganda videos onto social media between late 2021 and early 2022.
