A 17-year-old self-radicalised Singaporean was arrested under the Internal Security Act.
The Islamic State supporter plotted to stab non-Muslim males with a kitchen knife or scissors in an open area near Tampines West Community Centre .
The student was less than a month away from executing his plan at the time of his arrest in August .
He was also issued a two-year detention order in September .
ISD investigations thus far found that the youth was unsuccessful in radicalising his followers or contacts, and that he acted alone.
His family and friends were unaware of his plans to conduct an attack in Singapore or engage in armed violence in Syria .
The latest case underscores the trend of youth radicalisation seen in recent years .
