Loved ones of those radicalised have a duty to report them: Shanmugam

released last week, the ministry said the threat to the Republic remains at its highest in recent years. While there is no “credible intelligence” of an imminent attack, the MHA encouraged Singaporeans to be vigilant and prepared, and stressed that local security agencies are on high alert.
Nothing has changed that assessment so far, although Mr Shanmugam reiterated on Sunday that Singaporeans must not be complacent.
Separately, Education Minister (Schools) Ng Chee Meng highlighted the importance of building social cohesion in the face of the terror threat.
Social cohesion must be built in times of relative peace to overcome tensions in the aftermath of a terror attack, he told TODAY on the sidelines of a community event.
“We learn security lessons, and we also must learn social cohesion lessons from events happening around the world,” he said.
At an event on Sunday night for Marsiling residents to break fast during Ramadan, Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament (Marsiling-Yew Tee) Halimah Yacob said Muslims must reach out to non-Muslims to help them understand Islam better.
“We need to continuously do this, not because we’re defensive or that we feel the need to apologise for the sick acts of those who commit carnage in the name of Islam, but because we want to present the true teachings of Islam and the perspectives of its peace-loving adherents,” she said.
“If we fail to do this, the space will be filled up by or dominated by the hate and anger of those who propagate wrong teachings and make false proclamations to hijack our religion. And the outcome of this will be to feed the rising Islamophobia all over the world.”
