Penangites “Wishes” For Tsunami To Happen?

Posted by Chan Kelwin in Malaysia oh Malaysia

Some Penangites “wishes” for tsunami to happen. That is what came into my mind when I saw the photo below (courtesy of TheStar).

Penangites waiting for Tsunami at Gurney Drive

I do not know what motivated them to gather along the coastal area of Gurney Drive with hopes to see a Tsunami. At the bottom left of the photo shows a guy taking photos with a digital camera. Are they just curious? Are they there for the thrill (the thrill of running for their lives when tsunami hits)? Are they there to experience the tsunami so that they have something to boast share with their friends over coffee?

[TOUCH WOOD] I wonder whether I would display the same stupidity curiosity if Teluk Cempedak were to receive warnings of possible Tsunami.

Curiosity killed the cat. Look it up.

    Probably because Malaysians have not experienced any earthquakes or tsunamis of the Aceh 2004 magnitude.

    Very true. A very good point raised by you. Quite surprised actually that these people had gathered there to watch tsunami. How could curiosity get the better of intelligence.

    @Angie Tan
    LOL. Thank god there weren’t one or else that would be the first and the last one they will ever see.

    @lilian
    I think the guy with the camera is a blogger. LOL.

    @tk2
    Gives a new meaning to “once in a lifetime” — see once and then you die.

    @hanneng
    More like “mm chi sei”.

    @lazyfellow
    hahaha. It is possible. Chinese attitude. *sigh*

    @anthraxxxx
    It’s strange. All this while we’re happy and thankful Malaysia is safe from natural disasters. Now, people seems to be quite “interested” in them.

    @Pradeep
    Exactly. That is why I still don’t understand why they are there in the first place. It’s a tsunami, with mega waves. Not a jacuzzi party.

    @HORNY ANG MOH
    Me too and I hope they do as well.
