SINGAPORE: The first Singaporean to be charged with terror financing admitted in his trial that he had transferred funds overseas to support the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Former logistic professional Imran Kassim , 35, was charged with transferring S$450 through remittance company Western Union to Mohamad Alsaied Alhmidan in Turkey for his publication of ISIS propaganda.

Under the Terrorism Act, introduced in 2002 to counter terrorism financing here, anyone convicted of the offence of providing property and services for terrorist purposes may face prison time of not more than 10 years or a fine not exceeding S$500,000 , or face both penalties. In court yesterday, he argued that while he made the fund transfer to ISIS, he had not broken the law as he did not recognise Singapore law and only recognised Syariah law.
