  • MEDIA RELEASE for Immediate Release CELEBRATING OUR
    MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release CELEBRATING OUR RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS HARMONY WITH NEW GUIDED WALKS BY THE NATIONAL HERITAGE BOARD The Singapore Town Plan, showing Queen, Waterloo and Bencoolen Streets to be part of a “European Town”, late-19th century. Despite being originally designated as a European quarter, significant numbers of Eurasians, Chinese, Indians, Jews, Malays, amongst other communities, also settled in the area. Image courtesy of National Museum of Singapore, National Heritage Board Singapore, 14 November 2019 – Along Waterloo Street, a devotee from the Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple walks two doors down to the neighbouring Sri Krishnan Temple to offer prayers. This is a common sight in the area, where temples, churches, a mosque and a synagogue are all within a stone’s throw of one another. These houses of worship stand as testaments to the diverse communities who lived, worked and played side by side around Queen, Waterloo and Bencoolen Streets in Singapore’s Bras Basah.Bugis precinct, exemplifying the values of understanding and openness that have allowed them to exist and thrive together. 2 With the launch of a new programme titled Harmony Walks by the National Heritage Board (NHB), Singaporeans will be able to embark on free guided walks along Queen, Waterloo and Bencoolen Streets and learn more about the commonalities shared by diverse communities in the areas of religion, culture and built heritage. Harmony Walks comprises three guided walks that will cover the following designated areas: • Harmony Walks: Queen, Waterloo and Bencoolen Streets • Harmony Walks: Telok Ayer (To be launched in 2020) • Harmony Walks: South Bridge Road (To be launched in 2020) 3 The first of the three walks is Harmony Walks: Queen, Waterloo and Bencoolen Streets, which covers a total of seven religious institutions – Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple, Sri Krishnan Temple, Maghain Aboth Synagogue, Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Kum Yan Methodist Church and Masjid Bencoolen.

  • Singapore Terrorism Threat Assessment Report 2021
    SINGAPORE TERRORISM THREAT ASSESSMENT REPORT 2021 2 3 OVERVIEW The terrorism threat to Singapore remains high. Global terrorist groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda (AQ) have proven resilient and adaptable, despite their leadership losses and setbacks in recent years. Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they have stepped up their recruitment and propaganda efforts on social media, encouraging their supporters worldwide to conduct attacks. 2. The enduring appeal of ISIS violent ideology is seen among the self- radicalised cases dealt with in Singapore in the past two years, the majority of whom were ISIS supporters. While Islamist terrorism remains the key concern, other emergent threats such as far-right extremism can also potentially propel at- risk individuals towards violent radicalism. In December 2020, Singapore detected its first self-radicalised individual who was inspired by far-right extremist ideologies. 3. There is currently no specific and credible intelligence of an imminent terrorist attack against Singapore. However, since the last Report issued on 22 January 2019, the Internal Security Department (ISD) has averted terrorist attacks by two Singaporean youths targeting places of worship in Singapore. These cases underscore the very real threat of lone-actor attacks by self-radicalised individuals. EXTERNAL TERRORISM THREAT ISIS Continues to be Primary Threat 4. Despite losing its last territorial stronghold in March 2019, ISIS remains an active insurgent force in Syria and Iraq. It reportedly still has some 10,000 fighters in the conflict zone and tens of millions of dollars in cash reserves. Over the past year, ISIS has escalated its insurgent activities in the conflict zone, taking advantage of the security vacuum left by reduced military operations due to COVID-19 and the reduction in US troops in Iraq.
