        they are not preaching, they were just praying for sake of the victims according to their own beliefs, whats wrong with that?? if u dont believe the quake is an act of GOD, look at yourself, u created u from liquid form. At least they said prayers for the victims, what have u do? Zero!! shame on u!

      sbenarnya malaysia juga bakal berdepan dengan plat tektonik yg sedang bergerak ke arah perairan dan daratan malaysia lagi 50-100 thun lagi brdasarkan fakta sains, sumber drp geologi malaysia.

      lbih mnyeramkan lagi apabila plat itu sudah sampai ke malaysia, kemugkinan besar yang PASTI, kita lah bakal menjadi mangsa gempa bumi terburuk dalam sejarah manusia.

      KENAPA? kerana plat yang sedang bergerak dri barat daya malaysia adlah daripada plat tektonoik yg telah membinasakan Banda Aceh. kerak bumi ketika itu juga semakin dalam dan rekahan makin jurang daripada rekahan yg ada sekarang ini. jd, kerana itulah malaysia dikatakan (kemungkinan besar) akan mghadapi bencana yg terburuk dalam sejarah manusia.

      mengikut "ranking", plat tektonik yg sedang bergerak ke malaysia itu adalah ketiga terburuk slepas yellow stone dan plat di kwasan jepun.

      fakta tentang yellow stone, pernahkah anda mnonton filem "2012"? krn adegan dikawasan yellow stone itu adlah andaian gmbaran sebenar apabila ia meletus suatu hari nanti. yellow stone masih lagi AKTIF.

      fakta tentang plat tektonik di jepun, pernahkah anda menonton filem "sinking of japan"? gambaran tentang negeri jepun musnah daripada peta dunia, bukan? ok..sbnarnya itu juga fakta "menarik". ia memang benar. cuma yang membezakannya hanya ia berlaku sedikit demi sedikit dan hanya masa shaja yg menunggunya.

      (hope these facts would be lessons for us)
      (u can spread it out these facts.)

      • Jimizamri 1 year 2 months ago
        Tapi mengapa manusia tidak serik melakukan kesilapan kepada YANG MAHA PENCIPTA. Tidakkah manusia seluruhnya mendapat iktibar yang sebenar daripada bencana alam yang sedang melanda. Semoga kita akan sentiasa dipelihara ALLAH walau apa jua bencana yang akan berlaku. WALLAHU A'LAM.

        Allah hu akhbar... Allah is the great... thx for a such useful information.. it is an excellent guidance and knowledge for people in Malaysia to understand the geological fact about their land, and get closer to Allah for everything, esp. for those who remember kiamah...
    • daddy  •  1 year 2 months ago
      my condolence to the people of japan, china......
      lots of comments about punishment from god......ni org malaysia ni patut sedar diri sikit....please show some sympathy.........jgn ingat islam kat malaysia ni ramai, takde bencana.......open up your eyes....punishment from god comes in many forms.....look at middle east.......muslims killing muslims........kat malaysia ni pun, islam sama islam pun tak tentu arah.......

      by showing sympathy, is it a sin?.....it is also a way of reminding ourselves that god is great......it is not that difficult!
      • Pendidik 1 year 2 months ago
        I agree with your oppinion Mr. Daddy. Be right, we should show our sympathy to those effected by earthquake and tsunami in Japan and China...my deepest condolence to the victims... I personally say that regardless of our religious belief, we should join hand in hand to at least show our sympathy to those who lost their love ones..or their belongings....jangan asyik nak becakap pasal ketuhanan....

      takziah dan simpati setulus hati saya untuk negara jepun dan warganya. semoga mereka tabah menghadapi cabaran maha hebat dan besar ini. sedih tentang musibah ini dan teringat tentang tsunami 2004, gempa bumi Chile 2010, Sizchuan 2008, Haiti tahun lepas. Cuma berharap yang kehilangan nyawa tidak seteruk gempa2 bumi tersebut. tambahan ini adalah jepun, negara yang acapkali membuat latihan persediaan supaya rakyatnya bersedia dan kehilangan nyawa adalah seminimum mungkin. walaupun berita terbaru menunjukkan nasib mereka bagai jatuh ditimpa tangga, setelah dilanda gempa, dihempas tsunami, mungkin berlaku pula kebocoran radiasi, namun saya berdoa agar perkara itu tidak berlaku.

      saya fikir ini bukan tempat untuk bergaduh/ berdebat perkara picisan dan tak berkaitan bro. memang lumrah pemikiran seorang muslim yang beriman bahawa semua ini adalah kuasa tuhan. Dan pada setiap bencana yang terjadi itu ada peringatan dan iktibar buat umat manusia. kata-kata sedemikian lebih kepada untuk mengingatkan diri dan sesama saudara agar menginsafi dan mengingati kuasa Yang Maha Esa.

      mungkin kelihatan tak sensitif dengan keadaan semasa, namun percayalah kami tidak bersuka gembira melihat orang lain ditimpa bencana walaupun orang itu berlainan agama. sekali lagi takziah buat seluruh warga jepun. amat, amat sedih...
      • Nur 1 year 2 months ago
        saya amat bersetuju dengan apa yang telah dicoretkan...
        sepatutnya kita semua saling bantu membantu dan mendoakan antara satu sama lain,
        dan bukan menjadikannya satu wahana untuk diperdebatkan.
        sekalung simpati buat SELURUH WARGA JEPUN,
        "Berat mata memandang , berat lagi bahu yang memikul"

      Irony of life. The whole world is in turmoil and in singapore parliament and the government is talking about the increase to $ 4 million plus salary of the President and increase of another butler for him. What a joke!

      This only happens in singapore. e are all so lucky but dont realise it. Perhaps we can learn to be more human. After all we are all part of the human race no matter what colour race or religion.

      God bless the countries of Japan and new zealand and the people. They have just been thru tragedies that we have never or will never expeience being where we are
    • Cheng C  •  1 year 2 months ago
      Of course it is the work of God. It is unfair to attribute only wealth, health, fortune, success and other good things to God. God controls everything good and bad. It is only religious people that want you to believe that God does only good and only Satan does bad.

      Marilah kita mengingatkan diri kita agar sentiasa menghargai apa yang kita ada sambil menghormati sesama manusia dan menjaga alam di sekeliling kita agar kesejahteraan berterusan. Janganlah melakukan kerosakan atau kemusnahan walau sekecil biji kacang sekalipun kerana Allah melarangnya. Allah menyeru kita agar berkenalan diantara satu kaum dengan kaum yang lain agar kita saling mengenali dan berkawan kawan. JOM marilah kita beramai ramai menghulurkan bantuan agar beban kemusnahan disebabkan gempa bumi dan tsunami diJepun dapat dikurangkan dengan bantuan dan doa yang kita beri. Walau apa pun punca dan sebabnya bukanlah masanya untuk memperkatakan atau dibincang sekarang diruang ini. Sekarang adalah masa untuk menghulurkan bantuan dan doa. Sesunggohnya kesan tsunami itu amat dahsyat dan menyayat hati. Dalam AlQuran ada ayat menyatakan Allah akan menghanyutkan mereka saperti sampah sampah sarap apa bila mereka lupa. Marilah kita berbuat baik sesama manusia. Mangsa2 tsunami amat memerlukan bantuan dari segi tempat perlindungan, keperluan hari saperti makanan, keperluan bayi, kanak2 dan wanita serta perubatan. Hulurkanlah bantuan ke mangsa tsunami di Jepun dan lain2 tempat yang terjejas agar dapat mengurang beban dan trauma yang mereka rasai. Inilah masanya untuk kita beriman dan bertaqwa dengan mengulurkan bantuan apa yang ada dan mampu. Sesungguhnya Allah amat menyenangi mereka yang berbuat baik dan bantu membantu sesama manusia. JOM bantu mangsa tsunami Jepun sekarang!.

      How about a bird killing a fish to eat? is this also karma? How about the tsunami happened a few years back killing lots of people in phuket? many tourists were there also...how about the tornado killing many people as well in the USA?
    • Rosaline  •  1 year 2 months ago
      our prayer are with the people of japan.hopefully after this disaster the world will realise that we must not always think about being the best but be thankful for all the blessings that we received fm him.and stop competing with one another to be the world best.learn to accept that the lord god knows what is best for us in the end.

      Dear Global Friend,

      It is now high time to stop unnecessary sporadic wars and quarrels.

      It is the fundamental right of all religious and non-religious people to actively participate
      in this time of true humantarian aids without any types of discriminations.

      The religious people or those countries which claimed to be wealthy must make a good move forward in leading a moral example. Furthermore, corruption through or in donation must be seriously look into. Distribution of aids are to be fairly distributed.

      Love the world and the world loves us back with no more natural disasters.
      Please wake-up every discriminated ones.
      Love, share and care in empathy as a One Global Family.
      We all came from the same source, once upon a time,
      as a more civilised human being, " a pure light " from One Supreme Creator.

      Thank you to all of you for the sharing.

      mmg btul kita pernah dijajah negara jepun dulu..nenek moyang kita diseksa tanpa perikemanusiaan..sejarah memang x kan boleh diubah lagi..mungkin nenek moyang jepun pernah bersalah pada kita..tp adakah yang kita persalahkan generasi mereka sekarang?kalau betul anda yang tidak prihatin ni berdendam kesumat smpai ke hari ini,jangan gunakan produk, teknologi dan ilmu jepun, hdupla dgn keupayaan sendiri.musibah tetap musibah,seorang insan pasti akan merasa peritnya..wallahualam..
    • Nash  •  1 year 2 months ago
      I think these should be a wake up call to Singapore. Stop reclaiming,digging underground tunnel,building high rises tower and all sort of construction that will jeopardise our land. I just can't imagine what happen if the so call aftershocked happened here, what will happen to those high rise tower which are fixed with all glasses panel replacing of concrete. It will dislogde from the brackets and fly all the way down to the streets and people on the ground? You imagine yourselve. Hope these things don't happen here i pray god.

    • Bus Driver  •  1 year 2 months ago
      I have no idea if it is due to karma, etc. However there are japanese people out there who are suffering. Let's give them our sympathy if it is within our means. The sins of the forefathers should not be borne by their children.

      As for the young ridiculing the old who suffered through the crimes of the past japanese soldiers, they will not be able to understand the horrors. They will need to suffer such crimes against themselves before they can understand your feelings. But that is too much to ask.

      The main thing really is for those who suffered such hurts to just move on. If you are really happy the japanese people suffered such setbacks, then it must be because you must have been hurt a lot.

      Note however that Singapore has too many people within her shores and it will increase to 6.5million. The buildings are up to 40 stories. Congestion in terms of traffic. The whole island is filled with MRT lines underground and buildings on top. If anything were to happen, will anyone say 'karma'? That will be callous. So if we can bear this in mind, we may be more understanding of the plight of the japanese.

      Let's give them our sympathy and donations, i say.
