IPOH: Terrorism still represents a substantial and intensifying threat to international harmony, said Perak Ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah (pic), citing the 2017 Global Peace Index (GPI). The world is less peaceful now than it was 10 years ago, said Sultan Nazrin. Sultan Nazrin pointed out that the research period did not take into account four actual and attempted terror attacks in Britain between May and September this year. Sultan Nazrin said it was hard to reconcile such figures and images with the notion that our world has grown even marginally more peaceful over the past year. He added that the overall index represents the cumulative effect of a number of small steps in the right direction.
