Muhammad Faizal Abdul Rahman, a Research Fellow with the Centre of Excellence for National Security at RSIS wrote an opinion piece on how the threat of terrorism continues to cast its shadow on Singapore. “Essentially, both Singaporean cases are a stark reminder of the terrorist threat to houses of worship – comprising both the places and people of faith – in multicultural cities. In times of pandemic where movement restrictions and border closures impede transnational terrorism, homegrown lone-wolf terrorists would be a significant source of that threat,” he wrote.
