A Tsunami hit Malaysia this morning? I did not know until I came home and surfed to www.jeffooi.com, article here. Malaysia is not the only country affected by the Tsunami. The earthquake which measured about 9 ( more accurate figure forthcoming ) on the richter scale occured in Sumatera ( in the Indian Ocean to be specific ) and sent tidal waves to the coasts of Thailand, Burma, India, Bangladesh, The Maldives and Sri Lanka besides Malaysia and obviously Indonesia itself.
Deaths are reported all over. Even Malaysia's own Pearl of the Orient, Penang was not spared. Tremors were felt all over Peninsula Malaysia (however I was fast asleep when it happened and did not notice a single thing). Thankfully although structures built in Malaysia were never built to withstand any tremors our buildings have survived intact the few times that tremors have hit Malaysian soil ( the last time was some years ago... I was still very young then... probably primary school ).
Mother Nature is a very scary thing.
