Suffering Nation
Rumours abound that Indonesia is expecting yet another bout of violence and protests soon. Such things always send chills down my spine, esp in view of how my family was directly affected 7 years ago during the 1998 riots. Really pray that things will be as peaceful as it possibly can this time round. I oso pray that my fellow Christian bros and sis will be spared and be allowed to practise their faith in peace. And I pray for comfort for the families of the victims of the Mandala airplane crash in Medan as well as healing for the survivors.
Despite certain inevitable grouses against the way S'pore is run, I always think that we have a lot to be thankful for over there. The efficient transportation system, the general safety, the cleanliness. The list goes on.
