What are the signs of radicalisation?


Updated by MHA

Possible tell-tale signs of radicalisation include, but are not limited to:

  • Displaying signs or symbols of extremist/terrorist groups (e.g. displaying ISIS flag as one's social media photo).
  • Posting or sharing extremist views on social media platforms like expressing support or admiration for terrorists/terrorist groups as well as the use of violence.
  • Frequently surfing radical websites.
  • Sharing extremist views with friends, family members and relatives.
  • Inciting others to participate in acts of violence.
  • Making remarks that promote ill-will or hatred towards people of other races, religions or communities.
  • Expressing intent to participate in acts of violence overseas or in Singapore.

If you suspect someone is radicalised, please contact the Internal Security Department (ISD) at 1800-2626-473 (1800-2626-ISD) or e-mail isd@mha.gov.sg. Early intervention allows for timely intervention, such as counselling or rehabilitation.
