Singapore's SGSecure movement is marking its 10th year. A recent incident involved a 14-year-old student who was arrested by the Internal Security Department (ISD) in May for planning a mass-casualty stabbing attack at his secondary school. The student had written a 21-page manifesto detailing his plans.
The ISD and Ministry of Home Affairs' Home Team Psychology Division have assessed Singapore's psychological preparedness for a terror attack. According to Jasmine Tan, assistant director of the Home Team Psychology Division, being psychologically prepared goes beyond just fear.
