If it was a bomb, we should try not to let it affect us that much because disgruntled elements will always try and find ways to confuse, scare and disorient the general public. But we should not live in fear for by doing so we let them win by allowing them to achieve their goal. No one can take our basic rights and liberties. We must be strong and show them we refuse to cower in their presence. We will not be intimated. .

Just be aware of your surroundings and report to the police any suspicious activity. Accidents happen. Although they have not proven that it was a bomb, the ongoing investigation also said it might be an accident.

Be skeptical. Don’t believe everything or every piece of information that government feeds us because it’s dubious. With regards to the mall blast, we have to develop a sort of attitude. Besides being skeptical we have to be critical of what’s happening around us. Was it a bomb? Was it LPG? It’s crucial to develop a critical attitude.

   Be always extra careful and cautious. Pray for guidance. Thank God for each day that we live. Don’t be paranoid of going to the malls. Don’t let it stop you from doing your normal activities.

Save money don’t go to the mall. It’s better to go to work and be productive and busy and not just go to leisurely strolls.

It’s a good way to save money. Don’t go malling if it’s not necessary.
