A new generation of militants is being groomed by South East Asia's Jemaah Islamiah group to carry out more Bali-style bombings, Singapore has warned.
Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng said JI was rebuilding after recent arrests, training leaders in religious schools in Indonesia and Pakistan.
"Troubled times are going to last for a long time," he said.
JI, which some governments link to al-Qaeda, has been blamed for the Bali attack and a hotel bombing in Jakarta.

Mr Wong said the group included sons of Malaysian, Indonesian and Singaporean JI members, and was set up by the son of Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, the group's alleged spiritual leader.

"In Indonesia, the next generation of JI soldiers are also being groomed in JI-controlled religious schools," he said.

Dr David Wright-Neville, of the Global Terrorism Project at Monash University, Melbourne, said the comments from Singapore were in line with previous warnings.
"They don't think anyone else takes JI seriously enough, and their position in the region makes them all the more vulnerable," he said.
"So they tend to always put a fairly pessimistic spin on things to worry their neighbours' neighbours, particularly Australia and America."
