PM says terrorist attacks like the Paris tragedy can happen in Singapore..Really. Let's look at the data objectively. Singapore is very different from Paris or other countries in Europe and US. First thing is how the terrorist gonna to get the guns, explosives or ammo? Those items r more difficult to get than diamonds! Secondly Singapore is a very small and controlled place. Any terrorist cells have to be very well hidden for it to succeed. That's not to say it can't happen but it's probably ten times more difficult to pull it off.

"We are in the middle of a region (where) ISIS is active," he said, referring to terror group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Some 700 South-east Asians have gone to the Middle East to join ISIS, including some Singaporeans.
