SINGAPORE - A 38-year-old Ministry of Education teacher has been detained under the Internal Security Act, said the Internal Security Department on Wednesday.
ISD said in a statement that Khairul, who is Singaporean, was ready to travel to Gaza, Palestine to carry out armed violence, and had planned to do so under the guise of humanitarian aid to avoid detection. He was willing to provide medical aid to Hamas and AQB soldiers using the basic first-aid skills he had acquired. He also attempted to learn Arabic to facilitate communication with Hamas and AQB soldiers when in Gaza.
For example, he shared videos of lectures by radical Indian preacher Zakir Naik on his Facebook page, including one in which Zakir stated that Muslims should not wish Christians “Merry Christmas”. He also forbade his children from celebrating birthdays. His subsequent online research into the conflict entrenched his belief that the Israelis, particularly the IDF, were oppressing the Palestinians.
While he did not follow through on this intention in 2012, ISD said Khairul would feel compelled to travel to Gaza whenever the conflict escalated, such as in 2014 and 2021. But he did not do so each time as Israel had closed its borders to Gaza in 2014, while Covid-19 restrictions prevented him from travelling in 2021.
ISD said he was issued an Order of Detention under the Internal Security Act with effect from Nov 30, 2022.
