I guess foiled bombings of embassies, schools, buses and other public buildings aren't your idea of..

First of all, I have no idea why you need to use the above tone. I clearly stated that I was merely curious and was not trying to challenge you in any negative fashion.
However, I do thank you for the clarification and your informative post. You do realise that people suspected of terrorism are arrested all the time in various countries in the global war on terrorrism ? The isolated incident mentioned in your many links merely underlines the fact that Singapore does have the best intelligence network (as mentioned in one of the articles you quote) and is completely capable of dealing with such threats, capable of dealing with these threats a 100 times better than many other countries.
So, as I originally thought, Singapore is defintely the safest country in Asia, and probably one of the safest in the world.
Thank you for proving my original theory, far more useful than the senseless scare mongering we occaisionally see.
