Safety and Security Information

SAFETY AND SECURITY INFORMATION: Twice in the past few years, Singapore security services arrested members of Jemaah Islamiya, a terrorist network with links to Al Qaida. The network had planned attacks against government and private targets in Singapore associated with the U.S. , Singapore , and other countries. In the aftermath of terrorist bombings in Indonesia in October 2002 and August 2003, however, the Department of State is concerned that similar attacks may occur in other Southeast Asian nations because extremist groups present in Southeast Asia have demonstrated transnational capabilities to carry out attacks against locations where Westerners congregate. Terrorist groups do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. Americans residing in or traveling to Singapore and neighboring countries should therefore exercise particular caution, especially in locations where Westerners congregate, such as clubs, discos, bars, restaurants, hotels, places of worship, schools, outdoor recreation venues, tourist areas, resorts, beaches and other places frequented by foreigners. They should remain vigilant regarding their personal security.

U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or suspend public services from time to time to review and ensure the adequacy of their security postures. In such instances, U.S. Embassies and Consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to American citizens. Americans are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
