29 Radicalised Persons Dealt with in 5 Years
In the past five years, 29 radicalised individuals, many of whom were influenced by online extremist materials, have been dealt with under the Internal Security Act, said Second Minister for Home Affairs and Manpower Minister Josephine Teo. Speaking at yesterday’s premiere of Seeking The Imam, a film on radicalisation by local non-governmental organisation Humanity Matters, Mrs Teo underscored the importance of inter-racial and religious understanding in order to keep the threats posed by terrorism and radicalisation at bay. The film, which will be screened at selected institutions and for community groups next year, was produced by Dr Noor Huda Ismail, a terrorism expert and Visiting Fellow at RSIS as well as humanitarian Hassan Ahmad.
