Earthquake in Malaysia

At approximately 10.30pm yesterday, tremors were felt in Georgetown Penang and Bandar Utama, Puchong, Mont Kiara, Old Klang Road, Taman Tun and other places in the Klang Valley.

Apparently, according to the Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia website, the tremors were caused by a moderate earthquake Northern Sumatera (5.1 on Richter scale).

However, the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program website reported that the earthquake in Northern Sumatera had a magnitude of 5.9 on the Richter scale.

Omen told the Earthquake in China

Apparently there were omens that predicted the earthquake that killed over 10,000 people in the Sichuan province, south-western China on Monday, 12th May. The omens were: a lake that had ‘vanished’, an army of frogs and butterflies that migrated, and distinctive cloud patterns.

Many Chinese believe that these were the clues to some geological activity which were warning signs of the impending 7.9 magnitude earthquake in China.

On hindsight, anything, however marginally connected to a past event can be construed to be an omen. If those people were so smart at reading omens, why didn't they warn anyone prior to the earthquake happening ?

Some people believe that Buddha is punishing the China for its atrocities in Tibet.

Do you believe in omens ? or are they just coincidences ? Please post your comments.

China & Tibet

The problem with China is GREED & ARROGANCE!! They will go around claiming territories around them as theirs and will call that One China Policy. In that case, do you think it’s fair?? Just like Malaysian Malays who has their roots in Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, etc. do you think its right for us to claim One Malaysia Policy by just going into their country like what the Chinese military did?? Anyway, China will go after the minnows because they know that these Tibetans, Mongolians, Taiwanese, etc. will not exert to war like the Japanese, Koreans, etc. They should go after the Japanese and Koreans under the One China Policy and we will have a gala time in this region. They even claimed a piece of land called Ākèsàiqīn which is located in India as theirs, another piece of land near Vietnam is also claimed by the Chinese government as theirs and they claimed one with the Soviets and come one day the will claim the whole world is theirs.

The Chinese don’t realize the amount of damages they have committed towards mankind and other living beings like sharks, etc. but when they get pinched, the make so much of noise. They love to criticize others but when it happens to them, they can’t tolerate. China, Pakistan & North Korea are the troublemakers in this region but China’s history of having wars with their neighbors are dated back very long time ago and I don’t think that they know how to respect the sovereignty of others. What goes around comes around and one fine day the Chinese Government will have to face the consequences from the uprising of the Tibetans and eventually they will break into tiny pieces in the process of democracy like the Soviets. Can’t wait to see that!!
