GCE : Unable to ping its own external-ip address

I am unable to ping external-ips of my Google-Compute-Engines, from within the GCE machine. But when trying from outside network (from my laptop), its able to ping.

From within GCE vm :

rharoon002@es-01-client-01:/$ wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO -
130.211.147.88
rharoon002@es-01-client-01:/$ ping 130.211.147.88
PING 130.211.147.88 (130.211.147.88) 56(84) bytes of data.
....... (hangs for ever)

From local system (laptop):

rharoon002@RHAROON00235 C:\Users\rharoon002
> ping 130.211.147.88

Pinging 130.211.147.88 with 32 bytes of data:

Its probably because of firewall settings. You may need to add a firewall rule. I found this similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17904142/4743540.
