Boy, 14, among 2 Singaporeans issued with restriction orders under Internal Security Act
A 14-year-old boy is among two Singaporeans issued with restriction orders under the Internal Security Act (ISA). The other is a 33-year-old former public servant. They were self-radicalised online by the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The teen is the youngest person to be dealt with under the ISA in Singapore. Counter-terrorism experts tell CNA that children are particularly vulnerable to radical ideologies online as their minds and ability for critical thinking are less developed. Jeraldine Yap and Nicolas Ng report.
