Singapore's Law Minister warns of potential terror incident, urging psychological preparedness as radicalized individuals are caught in the city.
Singapore’s Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam on Tuesday (February 11, 2025) warned people to psychologically prepare themselves for a potential terror incident as authorities have caught more radicalised individuals in the city-state.
The Minister issued the warning while highlighting recent cases involving a teenager, a housewife, and a cleaner who were dealt with under the Internal Security Act for their extremist plans.
He made the remarks while speaking to the media at the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple, within the central business district and next to Fort Canning, where Hindu devotees were celebrating Thaipusam 2025, a festival celebrated to honour Lord Murugan.
Thaipusam is a festival celebrated by people of Tamil origin in Singapore, Malaysia and southern parts of India.
“This is the third young man that we have now issued orders against on far-right extremist ideology. He has been consuming all the junk on race issues, and has convinced himself on far-right supremacy,” the Minister was quoted as saying by The Straits Times newspaper.
He was referring to a student whose detention was announced on Monday (Feb. 10) by the Home Ministry.
The 18-year-old student role-played as a terrorist in an online game, and wanted to start a race war between the Chinese and the Malays.
