#PrayForJakarta

Today's trending hashtag is #PrayForJakarta, in response to the terrorist attacks that descended Indonesian capital today.

ISIS is one organisation nobody should underestimate. Its territory in Syria and Iraq has shrunk considerably but they sure want to make their presence felt across the world despite the embarrassing lost. Turkey was attacked. Pakistan was bombed. And now, Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, and a country quite far away from ISIS.

Malaysia and Singapore should be on high alert right now. Potential threat is undeniable and any successful attempts to sow fear in these areas have to be prevented. We must send a clear and resounding message that ISIS has no place in this moderate world.

Pray for Jakarta. I know Jakarta will pull through and stand up strong and firm again, but I will still wish you guys recover well.
