SINGAPORE: Three Singaporean youths who separately embraced violent extremist ideologies online have been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) after making preparations for attacks in Singapore, according to the Internal Security Department (ISD). All three young men became self-radicalised through material they found online, adopted violent beliefs, and moved beyond ideology into planning attacks. While preparing food at home, Tan imagined using a kitchen cleaver to kill Muslim acquaintances who disagreed with his extremist beliefs. ISD said he became the first self-radicalised individual dealt with under the ISA to attempt cyberattacks in support of extremist beliefs. By contrast, relatives and friends of the 15-year-old appeared aware of his extremist beliefs but didn’t report them.
