Amidst the confusion, lfie goes on for Malaysians and foreign tourists

While the church and places of worship arson still under investigation, a mosque in Sarawak was on the receiving end as reported by Reuters. Was this action to "balance up" or an action by extremists targeted in rocking Malaysia is left to be investigated by the police.

US had issued a travel advisory for all travelers on possibility of a terrorists attack on the tourist resort islands off the coast of Sabah by the Mindanao rebels. However, this was denied by the Malaysian Government.

The only warning that the Malaysian authorities had issued till now related to Sabah is the warning of heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas which will go on till Monday, January 18.

Amidst the confusions, Malaysians are up and moving around doing their chores including shopping in Sogo Shopping Centre which is hosting a member only preview sale which had caused a traffic snarl along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

With the Chinese Lunar New Year a month away, Malaysians celebrating the event are busy doing their shopping to welcome the Year of the Tiger.

Foreign tourists are busy browsing through the stalls along the night market along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman while some are busy negotiating prices with the traders.

Is there any fear about traveling in and around Malaysia, the answer is simply none.

Generally, all Malaysians are peace loving citizens of the country and it was the political games played by the politicians which are causing the political divide which incidentally affects the followers whom are not able to analyse the situation gets carried away.
