Police patrols have been stepped up in some areas here following the deadly Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney, Australia, that left 16 dead and dozens of others injured.
“Police have enhanced patrols at certain areas and will continue to calibrate their security measures accordingly,” said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday, adding that its security agencies are “monitoring the threat environment closely”.
Members of the public should also be vigilant, said MHA, urging those who know or suspect anyone to be radicalised or engaging in extremist activities to contact the Internal Security Department.
“ISD takes a serious view of any form of support for terrorism. Any person – foreigner or otherwise – who engages in any activity that threatens to harm Singapore’s national security will be firmly dealt with under the law,” said the ministry.
Those who see any suspicious person or item should report them to the police immediately, added MHA. — The Straits Times/ANN
