Singapore’s Internal Security Act (ISA) is capable of managing terrorist threats, a leading anti-terrorism expert says.

Professor Rohan Gunaratna, head of the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research (ICPVTR) at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, hailed Singapore’s counter-terrorism capabilities as “robust”, identifying the ISA as a key component in battling threats like the Islamic State (IS) and Al-Qaeda.

“Without preventive detention laws, no country in the world can fight terrorism,” he added.
Gunaratna was speaking to Yahoo Singapore on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit, a symposium on religious rehabilitation and social reintegration.
