Amirull Ali made 'good progress' in his rehabilitation, says the Internal Security Department.
has been released on a restriction order, the Internal Security Department said on Wednesday .
Amirull had been influenced by the Israel-Palestine conflict when he made preparations to carry out a knife attack against Jews at the Maghain Aboth Synagogue at Waterloo Street, late in 2020. "As a result, Amirull has renounced his radical beliefs in armed jihad and the use of violence. He now sees jihad as caring for his parents, improving himself, and contributing to society.
Mr Lee also gave an update on the self-radicalisation situation in Singapore. Since the rise of the Islamic State in 2015, ISD has dealt with 49 such individuals under the Internal Security Act - four times more than the number of cases in the preceding period from 2007 to 2014. It was his inability to critically evaluate information which he came across on the Israel-Palestine conflict, plus a tendency to overreact emotionally to the plight of oppressed Muslims, that contributed to his radicalisation in the first place, the agency said.
