The 14-year-old is the youngest person to be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA). It is also the first detention involving Composite Violent Extremism (CoVE), previously known as “salad bar” extremism.

This refers to a form of violent extremism where individuals subscribe to multiple, and sometimes conflicting, extremist ideologies.

The boy’s radicalisation journey began with first-person shooter (FPS) games on online gaming platform Roblox, which recreated real-life school shootings, such as the 1999 Columbine High School incident.

    Singapore should lead the first world with substantial and effective reining in of the technocrats who are running Nazi bars if not technofascists themselves.

    Salad bar extremism is what I do at every buffet.
