Another story of earthquake

Two days ago, i was surprised to hear that there was a great earthquake happened in Bengkulu, a province which is located in west coast of sumatra island. Although the stories of tsunami are being popular recently in many media, this earthquake make us feel a deep sympathy to them. In addition, the day after that is the beginning of ramadhan where the moslem perform the fast obligation. This such situation made them hard to do it. We hope the goverment, both central and regional, can work hard to give maximum support to them especially for the victims.

The head of Badan Meteorologi dan Geofisika said that the strength of the earthquake is around 7.9 scala ritcher which located 159 km far away in west part of bengkulu (4.67 LS - 101.13 BT). This earthquake potentially create a tsunami but in fact till this time, the tsunami was not happen.

The waddle of the earthquake also felt by many people in jakarta and also in malaysia. They experienced a strong waddle especially for people were in the skycraper building. Once the earthquake began, most of them run to outside the building since they afraid the building will be collapsed. After they got a clear information that the situation was normal, they came back to their work.

In singapore, i felt that nothing was happened. Tremor or waddle was not appeared anymore because the center of earthquake is very far from singapore. It due to the location of singapore is very safe if there exist a earthquake from west coast of sumatra (the sumatra island itself becomes the shield of singapore). Just like the story of tsunami happened in 2004, singapore was not effected anymore.

Hope Allah SWT helps the victim of tsunami. This is happened because of Him. There is a secret behind everything and only Allah SWT who knows.
