My say:
After listening to all these comment, one thing on my mind. Typical Mr. Know-IT-ALL and Miss Fortune Teller. They seem to claim that they know the quake was not an accident. It was predicted. Just one question. If it is so, why isn’t there any evacuation or alarm before it strike? Why is the death toll still more than 1,000? With such a good predictor and The know-it-all, shouldn’t we all suppose to be save when there are all these warnings or even alert?
Sometimes I do ask myself, why does everyone seems to know everything only when the event had already occurs? Is it really true that they really know it will be happen? If it is so, why they only claimed they know it after the event and not alerting people before the event? How ironic it is.
I was sitting in the office reading the news. As I read I was laughing with the comment given by typical researcher, experts, and politicians and also not to mention, typical nations in ASIA. Why am I laughing? Haven’t you goes through the dialogue I just wrote? If it does not provide any sense of humor, I can just conclude that you fall into those categories too. The news and the comment I was reading was basically a mere joke, humor for me. I’m not trying to criticize those comments. However, aren’t those comments seems a bit off? Exaggerated? Water was splitting out from the toilet bowl? Of course it will happen if the toilet bowl isn’t that deep or the water level in the toilet bowl is high.
One question, who would actually observe the toilet bowl? Second, what’s the magnitude below the ground to produce such a mass energy?
Maybe it does happen though, I never knew. However, if such an energy produce, shouldn’t the building would collapse or even cracked by then? I mean Malaysia buildings are not prone to earthquake.
So, why are we all overreacted? How many of this comment were true and how many are not? More earthquake may occurs, the expert claims (Doink! Of course, earthquake happens all the time). Just some questions, will Malaysia going to have a special measure of the building for prone earthquake? Or will Malaysia going to implement it only when the first building collapses from the shake?
As the earthquake happened last night, the blogger sphere sprang into action first. The first article online in Yahoo Singapore, was around 12.25 AM or so. CNN started to report around the same time. All the major stations provided updates when I got ready at aroudn 6.45 AM.
The local Malaysian stations entertained, with programmes called "Motivasi Pagi". Where are the lessons learnt from last time?
