SINGAPORE:  A 16-year-old Singaporean student who identified as a white supremacist and aspired to conduct attacks against minority groups overseas was issued with a restriction order under the Internal Security Act in November 2023, the Internal Security Department (ISD) said today.

The youth, who was 16 when he was detained, was the first Singaporean to be dealt with under ISA for being radicalised by far-right extremist ideology.

Investigations found that the teen had been self-radicalised by online far-right extremist propaganda and wanted to further the white supremacist cause, even though he is of Chinese ethnicity.

The teenager strongly identified as a white supremacist and aspired to conduct attacks overseas, says the Internal Security Department.
