The Jemaah Islamiah terror network is still active in Singapore and the Republic remains vulnerable to an attack, Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said on Monday. ‘We will always be on guard …Terror is not just in our parts but everywhere,’ he said, inspecting a new cargo screening system at Singapore’s main port.
