First Singaporean man convicted and jailed for financing terrorism

He had given S$1,059 in July 2016 and another US$62 in September that year to a preacher living on Caribbean Island in Jamaica who was facilitating terrorist acts, according to court documents.

He was aware that Sheikh Abdullah was a"radical preacher" who supported the use of violence against"non-Muslims attacking a Muslim area or location", and had been arrested previously for preaching violence in the United Kingdom. After serving four years of his sentence, Sheikh Abdullah was deported to Jamaica where he is under constant monitoring by Jamaican Special Branch Investigators andThe court was told that Hussein agreed with Sheikh Abdullah's religious ideology and preaching.

"The accused was keen to donate, and did in fact donate, despite having reasonable grounds to believe that the money he donated would be used in whole for benefitting Sheikh Abdullah, a person facilitating terrorist acts," court documents read.In an effort to cover up any evidence, he deleted emails from his email account and also deleted his email account that was linked to his Facebook account, which contained records of his communication with Sheikh Abdullah.
