Amirull Ali, a 20-year-old fomrer full-time national serviceman, was detained under the Internal Security Act for plotting a knife-attack against Jews at a Rochor synagogue on two occasions.
Ali, who has been reportedly discharged by the SAF, hatched detailed plans to kill Jewish men at the Maghain Aboth Synagogue on Waterloo Street in 2019 and again in December last year.
He also arranged to join a militant group in Gaza, the Hamas group, to join their fight against Israel in order to become a martyr.
K Shanmugam, the Law and Home Affairs Minister, said that this is the first time that a self-radicalised Singaporean who was primarily driven by the Palestine and Israel conflict was picked up under the ISA.
MINDEF sounded an alert earlier this year on Amirull’s possible radical bent.
ISD said that Amirull, who acted alone, could have eventually carried out his attack in Singapore or travelled abroad to undertake armed violence if he had remained undetected.
He was arrested on 5 February and issued a detention order on 5 March.
Shanmugam said that Amirull was detained because hw wanted to kill innocent people in Singapore to show his support for the Palestinians.
ISD said that Amirull’s hatred for Israel intensified over time, after he started watching videos of Israeli fighter jets boming Palestinian citizens in 2014.
He also read a book glorifying the exploits of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (AQB), a military wing of the Islamist movement Hamas, in Palestine in 2015.
He then discussed his intention to join the AQB through a foreign contact in 2018.
He then researched routes to Gaza, planning to take up arms against the AQB.
He had intended to travel there via Cairo, Egypt and enter the Palestinian territory through a land crossing.
Amirull also made an AK-47 replica from wood and plastic to “practise” using it, because he believed the AQB would issue him one if he joined their forces.
He had planned to join the AQB after he finished his NS and saved enough money through his work as a chef.
Amirull began making plans to attack the Jews in Singapore after watching a documentary on the Jewish community here in July 2019.
He was enraged that the Jews were thriving peacefully here while Palestinians were suffering overseas.
He planned to attack the Jews after their prayers on a Saturday, also known as Sabbath, which is the seventh day of rest in Judaism.
He planned to use a Smith and Wesson knife the he bought in 2016, and he made a replica knife to practice stabbing motions and grip techniques at home.
He downloaded images of the human vascular system to study where to stab his intended victims.
He also made 2 recon trips to the synagogue between August and October 2019, identifying areas where he could ambush his would-be victims.
He didn’t take any pictures to avoid detection, but he downloaded a picture of the synagogue for reference.
ISD said that Amirull planned to hide his face with a keffiyeh, a white Arabic scarf, after the attack, then post the attack online from his home.
However, Amirul shelved his plans in 2019, because he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to gain martrydom if he was arrested and sentenced to death.
Because in Amirull’s mind, martyrdom could only be attained through fighting in an actual battlefield in Gaza.
He then planned to attack Jews again in December 2020, on Christmasm, which is the first day of the Hanukkah festival in Judaism.
He planned to wear a black balaclava, a type of mask purportedly worn by the AQB fighters.
His desire to attack the jews again, came from him watching another online video of the killing in an unarmed and autistic Palestinian man by Israeli forces in May 2020.
Once, he backed out of his plans to attack the jews because he worried he couldn’t attain martyrdom.
ISD revealed that Amirull acted alone and his immediate family and friends were unaware of his intentions.

Myanmar national, Chi Nar Paw Tan, 24-years-old, was sentenced to 8 weeks jail on 9 March after a child under her care swallowed a toothbrush.
Her crime was for a negligent act; she failed to removed the toothbrush from the kid’s mouth under her care, leading to injuries.
She was tasked to bathe the 2-year-old boy on 27 December 2020; she soaped the boy’s body with her right hand and held the 15cm toothbrush on her left hand.
She then turned her back to the boy for a moment to find the shower head, meanwhile the toothbrush in the boy’s mouth somehow became lodged in his throat.
The boy cried out in pain and the maid turned to see the handle of the toothbrush protruding fro his mouth, the boy also vomited blood.
The mother of the child was then alerted to the shouting and called for an ambulance, where the kid was then taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Toothbrush bristles were found lodged in the middle of his esophagus, but the hospital didn’t have the necessary equipment to remove the toothbrush.
The boy was then taking to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital where the toothbrush was then removed with a pair of strong forceps.
Chi Nar Paw Tan was then arrested later that night, and the boy was warded and discharged a few days later on 31 December 2020.
The maid had been in remand since December 2020 and it is understood that she has served enough time in “jail” to fulfil her 8 week jail term.
Liong Tianwei, a 39-year-old father of two, was jailed 9 weeks and fines $26,000 on 9 March.
He pleaded guilty to 3 counts of distributing obscene materials, 2 counts of facilitating the provision of sexual services and 1 count of possession of obscene films.
8 more similar charges were taken into consideration.
Liong was unemployed at the time of his offences.
31 police reports against SG Nasi Lemak were made from March to October 2019.
The Telegram group was created in November 2018, and was used to share obscene videos and photos of Singaporean women, as well as promotion of vice activities.
At its peak, the group boasted over 44,000 members and 29 administrators.
Liong, alongside 3 other suspects, were arrested in a police operation on October 14, 2019.
Liong’s laptop and his five phones were also seized, and he was uncooperative, refusing to provide passwords or access codes for his devices.
But Liong soon relented and provided the password for his account, “Crazy Rich Asian”.
A total of 8,139 explicit photos and 3,083 obscene videos were found on his devices.
Liong also developed a close relationship with a vice worker he always frequented, who then introduced him to a man known as Hua Ge.
Liong worked with Hua Ge to promote content from a vice website on social media as well as SG Nasi Lemak, and he was paid about $300 to $800 each week.
DPP Huo Jiongrui asked the court to jail him for 3 months and fine him $26,000, explaining that Liong would’ve have made over $11,000 from advertising the website.
Liong’s defence lawyer asked for a jail term of 1 month and 1 week, arguing that Liong was just uploading along with everyone else in the group.
Liong’s Lawyer then asked the judge if she could issue an order to prevent the publication of Liong’s face in the media, which the judge denied, explaining that public shaming was the inadvertent consequence of Liong’s offence.
District Judge Janet Wang noted that Liong was a first time offender who eventually cooperated with the police and gave a default 6 weeks jail term if the fine could not be paid.

A video was recently uploaded on the Instagram page sgfollowsall which shows a Singaporean feeling extremely baffled on why there’s a need to have a zebra crossing at such a weird location.
The funny part was that the zebra crossing was leading to a drain which felt like a weird location to place a zebra crossing.
User i_got_a_question_to_ask recently posted on the HWZ forum after he received a message from a scammer pretending to be a pretty girl from Hong Kong.
It is believed that their modus operandi was to start off their conversation off by saying that they return to Hong Kong from Singapore to visit their parents and that they can’t return to Singapore due to the epidemic.
They will then say they run a clothing store or that they have some kind of business in Hong Kong. Many Singaporeans have received such messages and it is believed that the person that you would be talking to is actually a bot.
Here’s the actual pic of the so called HK chio bu but using an Indian line to contact their prey through whatsapp.
