You have probably read about the 27 Bangladeshi workers arrested under the Internal Security Act. They had become radicalised and were planning armed violence (on.fb.me/1PpzaHW). They were plotting nefarious activities in Bangladesh and other countries, and not in Singapore. But they were still a serious threat to us.
We are tightening up our security, and acting to protect our racial and religious harmony. Radicalisation and terrorism must never take root in Singapore.
K Shanmugam Sc touched on these issues in a speech yesterday (bit.ly/20e8xgS). He spoke plainly and directly, so that everyone understands that this is serious. The Government will do its part, but everyone has to be on guard for suspicious activities that could harm our way of life.
