SINGAPORE: While there is no indication of overseas funds flowing into Singapore via the local charity sector to support terrorism-related activities, the Commissioner of Charities (COC) has released a toolkit for charities to avoid being exploited for such purposes.

The toolkit helps charities to identify and mitigate the risk of terrorist financing abuse.
