While it is difficult to pin the reason on why a person decides to join heinous terrorist groups, it is most often the young, impressionable ones that fall prey to the lure of these terrorists and their cruel ideas
Hence, in their efforts to put an end to the spread of terrorism in Malaysia, deputy education minister, Chong Sin Woon, explained that they will be collaborating with security forces and the police to start educational talks in school about the dangers of terrorism
According to Chong, parents of school-going children are more than accepting of this new idea, with most asking the authorities to specifically educate the students on what these terrorists, especially members of the ISIS do
