Powerful quake jolts Sumatra

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - A powerful earthquake jolted the western Indonesian island of Sumatra, killing a 12-year-old boy and sending people streaming from their houses and hotels in panic.

According to the Malaysian Meteorological Department, tremors from the 1.55am quake, 363km southwest of Pulau Pangkor, were felt in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Perak, Penang and Kedah.

Hundreds of patients from at least one hospital had to be evacuated, some in wheelchairs or with infusion drips still attached to their arms.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.6-magnitude quake was centered 60 miles (100 kilometers) southwest of the city of Medan at a depth of 62 miles (110 kilometers).

It was too far inland, however, to generate a tsunami.

The temblor hit at 12.55am local time Tuesday, rattling people from their sleep in towns and villages across the island's northern tip. Maura Sakti, a mayor in Subulussalam, told the local station TVOne a 12-year-old boy had been killed.

He had no other details about injuries or damage.

Residents in Singkil, nearer to the quake's epicenter, said some electricity poles were knocked down, crashing into homes and causing blackouts.

"My wife was screaming, my children crying," said Burhan Mardiansyah, 37. "We saw our walls start to crack and everything inside the house was falling." "Thank God we're all safe."

Marni Aulia, a 32-year-old vendor in the town, said two hours after the quake people were still afraid to go back inside.

"We're worried about the aftershocks," she said.

Indonesia straddles a series of fault lines that make the vast island nation prone to volcanic and seismic activity.

A giant quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, half of them in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh.

My teacher just told us and I really don't know it happened. I was sleeping like a pig! My teacher felt it because she was still on the computer around 2am. I think my mum felt it too for she doesn't sleep like a pig.

Gotta go now. Ciao!

My Holidays

I’m back. Finally back. So happy to be back. But I still won’t be updating so much. These pics are from my uncle. They are about my hols.

We were at PISA Aquatic Club. My uncle took a pic of my brother and cousin brother lying on the gate of the baby pool.

Same thing. Lucky thing my goggles are on. My cousin brother was quite funny. Instead of saying goggles, he said googles. Wow! I could have my phone and ask Google what is googles.

Later we went for dinner at Kayu Restaurant. We ate Roti Tisu. Wow! My mum never let us eat Roti Tisu. Thanks Uncle Chong!

Oh yeah! I met my BFF, Ruby!! But she’s not in here. Sorry, Ruby!

Then, my brother, sister and cousin brothers went to the garden to play Nerf Gun. Here are the pics.

Say cheese!!

Hi!

Shoot you and shoot me!

We surrender!

Love,

Malaysia to test water and soil for radioactivity

KUALA LUMPUR: The Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry is to test samples of sea water, rain water and soil for radioactivity at various locations in the country and release the results periodically beginning 3pm today.

The tests are being done following the detection of higher-than-permissible levels of radioactivity in the samples of sea water taken from near the earthquake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili said on Friday.

The Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) would conduct the tests to determine the density of Iodine 131 (I-131) and Cesium 137 (Cs-137) radionuclides in the samples of sea water, rain water and soil, he said in a statement.

"A report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on March 29 confirmed that the situation was still serious at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan," he said.

Dr Ongkili said the Malaysian Nuclear Agency would release the results of the analyses of the samples periodically beginning 3pm today.

The Fukushima Daiichi plant was damaged after an earthquake of 9.0-magnitude rocked north-eastern Japan and unleashed a tsunami on March 11, causing more than 10,000 deaths and 20,000 unaccounted for in the twin disasters. - BERNAMA

Be careful, my dear friends!
