SINGAPORE - Twenty-seven male Bangladeshis working in Singapore have been arrested under the Internal Security Act (ISA) - the first time a jihadist terror cell comprising foreigners has been uncovered here.

Investigations showed that the group, which has been meeting since 2013, supported the armed jihad ideology of terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Some of them had considered waging armed jihad overseas, but they were not planning any terrorist attacks in Singapore, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday (Jan 20).

The men, who were working in the construction industry here, were detained between Nov 16 and Dec 1 last year. Most of them had worked in Singapore for two to seven years.

Of the 27, 26 were members of a closed religious study group that subscribed to extremist beliefs and teachings of radical figures like Anwar al-Awlaki, an American and Yemeni Islamic lecturer alleged to have ties with militant group Al-Qaeda. Awlaki was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in September 2011.

The remaining man was not a member of the study group, but was discovered to have been undergoing radicalisation. He supported extremist preachers and possessed jihadi-related material.

All 27 have had their work passes cancelled, and 26 of them have since been repatriated to Bangladesh, where the authorities were informed of the circumstances of their repatriation.

They should put that mugshot up at all ports of entry and anyone who looks similar should be turned around and kicked out.

This problem can be easily solved by removing Bangladesh as an eligible source country for work permit.
Why should valuable time and manpower be spent on monitoring and arresting these people?
Why not ask these employers to employ Pinoys to do the work of the Banglas or are the Pinoys favoured by people like TCJ too precious to do manual work in the hot sun .
If TCJ can mock our Pioneer generation by saying they collect cardboards for exercise, why his precious Pinoys cannot sweep the floor or clean tables in hawker centres?

I'm disgusted to see Pinoys working in aircond comfort in offices and restaurants while our old folks toil in hawker centres sweeping floors, washing dishes and clearing tables.
Do we elect PAP and pay them million dollar salaries to make life comfortable for foreigners?
