PRIME Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday cautioned against complacency in matters of race and religion, noting that such harmony is not a natural state of affairs, and that issues have become more complicated and difficult than before.
In particular, he referred to the ongoing problem of jihadist terrorism - as reflected in the self-radicalisation of those who have aligned themselves with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) - and said that Singapore must remain on guard.
