Parents knew of boy's hatred towards Muslims but did not alert authorities

When he was arrested, he admitted he would have carried out his attacks if he had managed to get his hands on a gun.

While he had not shared his plans with anyone for fear of being arrested, his parents were aware of his hatred towards Muslims and the excessive amount of time he was spending online. His father had shared with him news reports of previous far-right extremist cases dealt with under the ISA, to encourage his son to change his mindset.

However, the youth's parents did not contact the authorities.

ISD said both cases highlight the persistent threat of youth radicalisation in Singapore.

Since 2015, ISD has dealt with 17 people aged 20 and below under the ISA. All were self-radicalised online. Nine of them had aspired to carry out attacks in Singapore.
