The 2025 Singapore Terrorism Threat Assessment Report, released July 29, warns of rising ISIS propaganda in Southeast Asia. Indonesian militants marked the 9/11 anniversary with jihadist calls linking the Gaza conflict to local issues, targeting Chinese Indonesians and development projects. A 2014 plot by Yudi Lukito Kurniawan, a former Jemaah Islamiyah member, aimed to attack the Singapore Exchange but was thwarted when he was denied entry in 2015.
