Berita Harian & Rosmah Mansor’s distasteful comment about Japan’s Disaster

Berita Harian & Rosmah Mansor’s distasteful comment about Japan’s Disaster

First we have Berita Harian publishing this distasteful caricature by Zoy poking fun of the recent Natural Disaster that hit Japan.

Then our dear Rosmah Mansor, the First Lady of Malaysia decide to use her excellent knowledge to put the blame on the disaster that has befallen on Japan down to their rapid growth and the lack of green technology. Is she really serious in what she say on National TV?



So is she saying that by deploying green technology and slow down the growth of a country will in a way help avoid natural disasters like an earthquake or tsunami? Japan in many ways is more advance and has more green technology in place compared to Malaysia but that doesn’t mean they could avoid something like this.

She should just have shut up after expressing shock and sympathy following the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan rather than letting us in on how smart she is.

On a serious note regarding this devastation, here’s what you can do to help out. Go into GroupOn’s International Medical Corp page and donate some well needed money them. 100% of your donation will go to International Medical Corps. The money collected will provide Help for victims of Japan’s most severe earthquake on record as well as the Health professionals providing disaster relief in Japan.

For those of you who lives in caves and don’t know what’s happening, on Friday, March 11, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. It was the most severe quake worldwide in more than a year and the worst ever recorded in Japan, with more than 50 aftershocks following in its wake and tsunami waves sweeping inland over both urban and rural areas. Countless individuals have been displaced, and families and friends struggle to contact each other with limited access to communications technology. The full extent of the disaster’s effects on both the population and the landscape remain unclear, but the images that flash across screens all over the world are poignant indicators that its ramifications are severe, widespread, and long-term.
