SGSecure at 10: How Singapore prepares citizens psychologically for a terror attack

As Singapore's SGSecure community resilience programme marks its 10th anniversary, CNA spoke to psychologists from the Internal Security Department and the Ministry of Home Affairs about psychological preparedness. This comes weeks after a self-radicalised 14-year-old student — who had written a 21-page manifesto — was arrested by the ISD in May while planning a mass-casualty stabbing attack at his secondary school, an incident authorities described as a 'close shave'. Experts say being psychologically prepared goes beyond simply managing fear.
