SINGAPORE - Terror groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and Al-Qaeda have been hit hard in recent years with leadership losses and setbacks, but they have proven resilient and adaptable.

At the same time, far-right extremism has emerged as a growing threat as its supporters become more organised and capable of mounting attacks, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on Wednesday .

He cited the example of a 16-year-old Singaporean teen who was detained in December 2020 for planning to attack Muslims at two mosques in the Woodlands area on March 15 last year, the second anniversary of the attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand. Speaking on international cooperation and public-private partnerships to address security threats, he noted that Milipol Asia-Pacific brings government officials, security practitioners, international experts and leaders from the private sector together to learn and collaborate with one another.
