Singapore Citizens Concerned About Terrorism <http://www.angus-reid.com/collateral/images/horz_sep_1.gif> (Angus Reid Global Scan) - Many adults in Singapore are worried about the possibility of an attack, according to a poll by the Feedback Unit. 73 per cent of respondents think terrorism poses a threat to their country, a six per cent increase since 2003. Singapore has opened its ports to U.S. ships since the start of the war on terrorism in October 2001. The country also provided police trainers and cargo equipment to the United States-led coalition effort in Iraq. The Jemaah Islamiya (JI) militant group has been blamed for a series of terrorist attacks, including the October 2002 bombing in Bali that killed 202 people. The network-which has been linked to al-Qaeda-intends to create an Islamic state comprising Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines and southern Thailand. On Jul. 20, Singaporean prime minister Lee Hsien Loong urged moderate Muslims to condemn "extremist ideologies," adding, "We cannot defeat terrorism through military operations alone." On Jul. 23, at least 88 people were killed and 120 were wounded in a series of coordinated bombings in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheik. Egypt is scheduled to hold an unprecedented multi-candidate presidential election on Sept. 7. Polling Data Do you think terrorism poses a threat to Singapore?
