The economic dimensions of the ‘War on Terrorism’ have also provided an opportunity for the ISA to be promoted indirectly. Singapore’s unequivocal support for the US in the old and new security environments coupled with her role in preventing the JI attack on American interests, were seemingly ‘rewarded’ with the signing of the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
