Singapore Battles Speed of Youth Radicalisation as Concerns Mount In recent months, Singapore has been grappling with the rapid radicalization of youth.
Three teenagers have been detained in just over three months, sparking debate about school security and the effectiveness of measures to protect students from violent ideologies.
The age of those involved is striking: a 14 year old was arrested for planning a stabbing attack at his secondary school during the June holidays, while a 19 year old was detained for plotting knife attacks against Singapore Armed Forces personnel and LGBTQ students at his own school.
