Have We Not Learned From The Last Tsunami!!?

I am very sure everybody knows about the powerful earthquake measuring 8.2 on the Richter scale that jolted southern Sumatra at 7.10pm (Malaysian time) on Wednesday (12th August 2007) which occurred about 155km southwest of Bengkulu in Indonesia and the epicentre was 718km southwest of Johor Baharu in southern Peninsular Malaysia.

And soon after, a tsunami alert was issued by the Malaysian Meteorological Department for the coastal areas of Perlis, Kedah, Penang and Perak.

Then another measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale struck Jambi province in Sumatera at 6.49am local time again and the Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Department had declared the earthquake as tsunami potential, as the epicentre was located only 24km under the seabed, 140km southwest of Sugai Penuh. These quakes are so powerful they can be felt here in Malaysia.

Though the tsunami alert has been lifted, it doesn't mean that we can go and 'wait' for the tsunami at the coastal area like that happened in Penang.

Have we not learned from the previous tsunami that hit us few years ago..!!? Have you forgotten about it totally that not even Malaysia, but India, Indonesia, Thailand were also hit?

Do you want to be part of the statistics when it really happen? I guess people just don't learn until they "see death" right in front of their eyes...
