ST found out that the man in the video is Basnayake. He was convicted and jailed in 2019 for causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, having pleaded guilty to stabbing his former girlfriend at a party while he was on drugs.

You ask why did God not protect his Priest.

Each one of us is here as a human, plant, animal, sand, mountain, virus etc -- also whether rich, poor, ugly, beautiful and for how long is in accordance with our destiny, which is predetermined even before our birth.

Next, many millions are asking why are the Jews killing thousands and thousands of babies. The same rules apply to those poor babies as they apply to the Jews.

Police do not suspect terrorism​

Basnayake stabbed Father Lee during the 5.30pm mass on 9 Nov, while parishioners were receiving Holy Communion.

The Archdiocesan Emergency Response team and members of the congregation subdued him.

In the wee hours of Sunday, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said five weapons, including a foldable knife used in the attack, were found on the suspect.

The SPF believes that Basnayake acted alone and that his motive is not terrorism.

They urge the public to remain calm and refrain from speculation as they continue investigations.

Basnayake will be charged in court on Monday (11 Nov), with voluntarily causing grievous hurt with a dangerous weapon.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in jail and a fine or caning.
