Jasminder Singh, Muhammad Haziq Bin Jani

RSIS senior analyst Jasminder Singh and research analyst Muhammad Haziq Bin Jani at NTU highlighted that the IS’ first newspaper in the Malay Language, Al-Fatihin, is trying to be a platform for Southeast Asian militants to bond. IS-related groups have to be neutralised or eliminated in Southeast Asia for Al-Fatihin to lose its potency and relevance, along with its plans for a caliphate.
