Why were two self-radicalised Singaporeans served ISA detention and restriction orders?

Question

Accepted Answer

Two self-radicalised Singaporeans received ISA detention and restriction orders because ISD said their radicalisation was triggered by the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Internal Security Department (ISD) said both orders were issued in March this year under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for two Singaporeans who had self-radicalised. ISD stated that while the two cases were not related, both individuals’ radicalisation was triggered by the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
ISD issued the OD and RO in March this year
ISD said the Order of Detention (OD) and the Restriction Order (RO) were issued in March this year. Tarmizi Mohd Taha, a 30-year-old customer service officer, received the OD, while Cyrus Dzulqarnain Al-Shahriar, a 19-year-old student, received the RO.
Their cases were not related, but both radicalisation were conflict-triggered
ISD said the two cases were not related to each other. It added that both individuals’ radicalisation was triggered by the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
They were counted as the seventh and eighth local ISA-linked cases tied to the conflict
ISD said the two individuals were the seventh and eighth Singaporeans dealt with under the ISA whose radicalisation was due to the conflict. This framing placed their cases within a wider set of local incidents ISD linked to the same ongoing conflict.
ISD said it will act firmly over armed violence support or preparations in Singapore
ISD stressed that it would take firm action against anyone in Singapore who supports, promotes, undertakes, or makes preparations for armed violence. It said this would apply regardless of the ideological justification offered or where such activities were carried out, and it referenced the need to prevent extremist narratives from taking root in society.
