SINGAPORE – A 34-year-old Singaporean man was charged in court on Monday (Sept 16) with terrorism financing, having provided money to support a terrorist overseas, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a press release.
An MHA statement said Ahmed Hussein Abdul Kadir Sheik Uduman had, in 2016, provided two payments of about $1,145 in total to an individual overseas who was “facilitating terrorist acts”.
The first payment of $1,059 took place on July 29, 2016, while the second payment of US$62 (S$86) was on Sept 3 that same year.
Providing money in support of terrorist purposes, regardless of the amount, is a serious offence under the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act, said MHA.
Hussein, a former information technology engineer, had been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) since August 2018.
He was also issued with a detention order for being radicalised and for intending to undertake armed violence overseas in support of the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
