News that a teenager here had planned to carry out a terror attack has parents worried about their children’s activities online. But experts said the Internet is not solely to blame.  Research Fellow Mr Muhammad Faizal Abdul Rahman of the RSIS’ Centre of Excellence for National Security said: “Events in other countries, driven by geopolitics or local issues, are causing sentiments that frame law enforcement agencies as a threat (instead of as a solution) to spread.” Professor of Security Studies Dr Rohan Gunaratna at the RSIS said a mix of regulations and education is needed to counter online self-radicalisation. He called for the Government to work with technology companies, such as Facebook, to remove content related to terrorists and extremists, but also for the religious space here to be regulated – to ensure and maintain religious harmony.
