Quake and tsunami predicted in S'pore & M'sia
BANGKOK: Thailand's now iconic meteorologist, Dr Smith Dharmasaroja, who
in Year 1998 predicted a killer tsunami would hit Thailand one day & was ignored, said S'pore & M'sia were also in danger from a future earthquake and tsunami.
"I believe the epicentre of future quakes will shift northwards, north of the Andaman & Nicobar islands."
"A big earthquake with a more northerly epicentre than the Dec 26 quake will generate a tsunami which will have a more direct route down to the Straits of Malacca, swamping S'pore and M'sia" during the month of december 05' and january 06'.
"As the sea passage narrows, more water will build up and the wave will become bigger. S'pore is relatively low-lying & quite flat, and would be badly affected. Remember, in Dec, the tsunami was 30m high at Banda Aceh. At Khao Lak, it was 16m high" he said.
Dr Smith, 70, retired as chief of Thailand's Meteorological Department well before last Dec's disaster. But before that, he had warned first in a speech and then in a memo that Thailand's Andaman coast was at risk from a killer tsunami.
Tragically his warning, although widely reported by the media, was
ignored.
Government officials, fearful of tourists staying away, branded him a cranky and dangerous man. The authorities in Phuket castigated him & said he was not welcome to visit. After the tsunami, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra recalled him and made him the chairman of a committee tasked with developing a national disaster warning centre and strategy.
"I'm not happy that I have made the right prediction" he said. "Nobody can accurately predict an earthquake; you can only assume from historical data" he added. He said big natural disasters occur in 80 year to 100 year cycles, apparently randomly across the world.
"If you speak out too much, forecast too much, you will get a lot of criticism, from government agencies, the tourism sector and so forth" he added.
Explaining the northward shift of future epicentres, Dr Smith stressed "This is no joke. I would like you to put this message out to S'pore and M'sia."
A researcher working on the hypothesis, who did not want to be named, said the research was on-going and final results were not yet ready.
Dr Smith said "I have seen the simulations that indicate this and they look believable. From my own experience, it is possible." Only a few days ago, there was a 6.1 quake in the Andaman sea near the Nicobar Islands, which is about 321.8km north of the Dec 26 quake.
So, this is an indication that the epicentre is moving north." -

this is the only (official) article i found..
http://www.asianewsnet.net/level3_template1.php?l3sec=4&news_id=46868
according to this: http://singaporewatch.juznuts.com/
it appeared in st before.. and some "christian" cultist are spreading their word.Was on my way to school today when I happen to chance upon a man handing out sheets of printed A4 paper.
Thought it would be some interesting political view as I have encountered such distributions in the past whenever the GE draws near.
The man just said “Thank You” as I took a copy and glancing at it, turned out to be a photocopy of just 2 newspaper clippings from ST, warning that Singapore could be hit and flooded by a tsunami.
What puzzles me is the intentions of such distriubtion. There is no indication of any affliation to any party, group or ogranisation. Just two additional quotes along with the articles: “The person who controls the river floods, controls the country.” and “As in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man.” -
then what do you want to do to prevent it?Originally posted by Ito_^:this guy not prophet.. u never hear prevention is better den cure?
You can control Mother Nature ah?
If it is ment to be,it is ment to be. -
BANGKOK: Thailand's now iconic meteorologist, Dr Smith Dharmasaroja, who
it said a tsunami would hit Thailand ONE DAY, he nv stated when...i also can say india would be hit by a tsunami one day...maybe 100years later lehz? to me it is all complete BS.
in Year 1998 predicted a killer tsunami would hit Thailand one day & was ignored, said S'pore & M'sia were also in danger from a future earthquake and tsunami.
but even if its the end of the world tml it doesnt matter, most humans live in fear and sadness anywayz -
i seriously doubt it.Originally posted by M©+square:What happens if you know you're going to die in 30 days?

most will be in shock. -
please don't say irresponsible things like that. there are many measures to minimize damages to properties n human lives. i didn't meant controling it.Originally posted by Aveme:then what do you want to do to prevent it?

If it is ment to be,it is ment to be.
