New details about a plot to fire a rocket at Marina Bay from Batam island have raised more questions over the capabilities of the terrorist cell behind the foiled attack.

Indonesia's National Counter-terrorism Agency (BNPT) chief Suhardi Alius said the suspects planned to launch the strike from a hilltop in Taman Habibie.

The little-known nature park is located about 17km from Singapore's shoreline and just over 18km from Marina Bay Sands.

Singapore is a great place. The only city on earth where straits have our own newspaper.

Singapore’s not a reaaly great place to get caught spitting on the sidewalk, let alone plotting to launch a terrorism rocket.

Perps don’t have long to live.

I was joking around with a friend in Hong Kong several years ago and we figured out a way to conduct a terror attack in that city which would kill maybe 10,000 people and cripple the cities transportation for months.

We could have bought almost everything we needed to do it from stores in Kowloon Tong. I am sure that is true of most big cities though.

We have no plans to carry out any such attack and I won’t say what we figured out
