Increased Security at Singapore-Malaysia Border After Deadly Johor Police Station Attack

Singapore enhances checkpoint measures following a lone-wolf assault in Johor Bahru, linked to Jemaah Islamiyah, that left two officers dead.

The attacker, a 21-year-old man, was killed in a firefight with police after killing two officers and injuring another.
Malaysian authorities have arrested seven people, including five family members of the attacker, and are tracking down over 20 suspected JI members.
Singapore has advised its citizens to exercise vigilance when traveling to Malaysia and to expect delays at immigration checkpoints due to heightened security.
The Malaysian Home Minister described the attack as a 'lone wolf' incident, with no immediate threat to the wider public.
Residents of the attacker's village expressed shock, noting the family's reclusive nature and lack of visible extremist behavior.
