SINGAPORE - The authorities have dealt with more than 130 Singaporeans for terrorism-related activities since 2002, and this has only been possible with close collaboration with community partners.

Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam made this point as he stressed that the role played by such partners like the Religious Rehabilitation Group and the Inter-Agency Aftercare Group remains important, especially since terror groups continue to build capabilities.

Singapore's success in countering terror can be largely attributed to the unique government-community partnership, said RRG vice-chairman Mohamed Ali."The formation of RRG and ACG is a result of this partnership," he said. But Mr Shanmugam noted that the group continues to pose a threat, and pointed out how in Indonesia, JI has been conducting recruitment and fund-raising activities as it tries to rebuild its military capabilities.

Mr Shanmugam highlighted that it is for this reason that RRG, ACG and other community partners are important as they sensitise the community to radical ideologies and threats online.
