Surfing radical websites frequently
Sharing extremist views on social media, expressing support / admiration for terrorists / terrorists groups as well as the use of violence
Sharing extremist views with friends and relatives
Making remarks that promote ill-will or hatred towards people of other races or religions
Expressing intent to participate in acts of violence overseas or in Singapore
Inciting others to participate in acts of violence
