SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): The recent attack on a police station in Johor is a grim reminder that the threat of terrorism remains high, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on May 21.

In a Facebook post, he reminded Singaporeans to be vigilant against such extremist ideology finding resonance here, as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been used by global terrorist elements to “peddle their radical rhetoric and incite calls for violence”.
