heavenNow SG Will terrorist hit Singapore?? , personally I think they will and it wouldn't be a small scale attack but a rather serious one... Even the ministers are forewarning Singaporean to be prepared for the worst... stepping up of security in the state has a major deterrent factor. Prevention can only do so much If the terrorist wants to really make a statement of challenging the world, In Asia, Singapore is the best place to make that statement. We are a very small country and we are very vulnerable and there is a lot at stake, our normal way of life, our economy, our family and friends The authorities can only do so much lets us be vigilant and steadfast in our normal way of live, dont have to go out hurting for terrorist, instead lets keep a lookout for each other, be conscious of our surrounding. Report anything that you know will put us at risk even if its a suspicious person or activities Having say that lets not be paranoid as well Cheers
duotiga83 SG even if...a big if.....is still quite diffcult...thought the 89 crisis at SIA plane hijack is still memorable 1...... nvr lets down the guard.......
wuming78 SG transporting my reply on another thread here. [/quote] im really worried about something similar happening in singapore, especially during national day. even if they cannot pull off something substantial, an attack on our morale and mood would be good enuff for them. such times really underlines the need for strong leadership that is vested wif the trust of the citizens, so that the authorities can act decisively. the sars outbreak illustrated this. indonesia is lamenting their lack of similar acts as that in singapore and malaysia tt allows them to detain suspected terrorists. isa was mooted at the height of communists threat in singapore. the terrorists threat now, though less organised and less sponsored, is really more latent and evasive and from the ground. so as much as it is controversial, the isa really comes into use at such times against these extremists who dont bet an eyelid to killing millions for their warped cause. singaporeans will definitely lash out and fully support our authorities to deal all its weight onto the perpetrators shud (touch wood) they ever succeed in pulling off something here. tt is what we can be assured and consoled of. but the damage to our economy and morale will be lasting. so every single one of us should be vigilant at these times and not assume that everything has been taken care of by the authorities or nothing of this sort will happen in singapore. we have to make those murderers think twice b4 trying anything funny on our soil!
Lynette80 SG today, i read from the papers that the ministers are building up on our defence nowadaes... especially on national day... haiz hope such things dun happen in singapore.. somemore we are a small island.. even a small scale attack, it will be a great impact on singapore...
heavenNow SG I truly hope that attacks like the bali and the recent Marriott hotel bombing will never happen on Singapore's soil... 91/ SIA SQ117 hijack was a drama that has unfold even b4 the present height on terrorism. Indonesia is so close to us I jus hope that Singaporean will realize that the treats are very real and that we are not invisible. But we are not weak as well being the way we are doesnt come by chance years of planning and building of an anti terrorism network is painstaking, hopefully ordinary residents like us can play the part of missing links to help counter terrorist activities in Singapore Please dont underestimate our role in this anti terrorism network
heavenNow SG sorry its 91/ SIA SQ117 http://www1.moe.edu.sg/ne/SGstory/HijackSQ.html check this out...
Icemoon SG That is nothing. Got time you all should borrow the book written by ST's Sumiko Tan about the SQ117 incident. Rocks. Tells you about the terrorist and passenger's mentality
i am twat SG BUY MORE PIGS AND LET THEM RUN AROUND AT CROWDED AREAS SO THOSE MUSLIM FAGGOTS WILL NOT DARE TO COME
antoh SG accident happens .... you will not know if you will be kille one day ... how about terrorism ... i guess got to do wif US. someting that they must sit down and discuss the problem
saintboy SG Like that you will also be scaring away and offending the muslims in singapore who are innocent.
BLIM SG I think it will. Take the recent Indonesia Marriot hotel for example. It's good that we are being vigilant and be ready for any attack plan by them. In my point of view, terrorist will not win and they never will! They are bunch of cowards who just wanted to cause harm and fear in this world and they deserve to be shot! Last year when our police officers from the ISD department arrest a few JI memebers who are planning to attack the Yishun MRT, it's quite obvious that we have terrorist living with us and we don't know who they are. They might be around us, be it our friends or love ones. One thing to add, terrorist will never win us!
