SINGAPORE, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- Five maids working in Singapore were investigated over the past two years for suspected radicalism, said Singapore Ministry of Home Affairs in a statement on Monday.
The ministry said the maids were among some 70 foreigners investigated for radicalism.
"None of them had any plans to carry out acts of violence in Singapore at the time they were investigated, but as they were in various stages of radicalism, their presence posed a security concern for Singapore," said the ministry spokesperson.
It noted that the majority of the foreigners investigated were radicalized by propaganda on social media, and some in turn radicalized others.
