Terrorism threat to Singapore the 'highest' in recent years: MHA

THE Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Thursday that the terrorism threat to Singapore remains the "highest" in recent years.

Singapore was specifically targeted in the past year and the regional threat has heightened, the ministry noted in its latest terrorism threat assessment report.

"Even though there is no credible intelligence of an imminent attack at this point in time, our security agencies remain on high vigilance," said MHA as it urged the public to continue to stay alert and be prepared.
