SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): The terrorism threat to Singapore remains high as the country continues to feature on extremist propaganda, and the resumption of international travel after Covid-19 raises concerns about how terror plots put on ice may go on.

Giving its annual terrorism threat assessment on Wednesday, the Internal Security Department (ISD) said the main concerns for Singapore are people self-radicalised online, as well as terrorist groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which pose a threat with their ability to inspire attacks.
