MHA launched the SGSecure Instagram account and shared updates to the SGSecure mobile app.
SINGAPORE - The authorities will be increasing public engagement on SGSecure, a national movement to prepare the public for a terrorist attack, in response to the threats posed by terrorism, Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam said.
“We have to continue to do our best together with the agencies to detect and prevent any terrorist attack. And, in the event of a successful attack, to manage the fallout.” The SGSecure movement also partnered with local singer-songwriter Nathan Hartono to debut a song at the roadshow – with an accompanying music video – titled Foiled Once More to emphasise the importance of social cohesion both in peacetime and in the aftermath of a terror attack.
Both MHA and ISD said online self-radicalisation is the primary threat within the Republic. Since 2015, 52 self-radicalised individuals – including 40 Singaporeans – have been issued orders under the Internal Security Act. Nathan Hartono’s video is very good. Met him today at the @SGSecureOfficial event and of course, took a pic. Catch the video here: https://youtu.
