Security Guards' Stories: Tsunamiri

This afternoon the campus security guards brought up a good possible scenario. We were discussing about how bad the jam is in key areas such as Lutong-Pujut, Pujut-Permyjaya , Taman Tungku et. al. Then one guard mentioned that all the roads in Miri is flat. So in case *touch wood* a tsunami happens this town is fucked.

We didn't go to the point of "what if" but more to what to do if a tsunami did come crashing into Miri *touch wood*. The most obvious place to go was Canada Hill. But I beg to differ as Canada Hill's foundation is not strong. Landslide cases along the hill this year is proof that the hill is fragile.

So the best option was Taman Tungku. Reason being is it is located 3.25KM inland and located on the other side of the hill. In addition the airport would break any incoming water.
So hopefully you know where to run when someone SMSes the tsunami warning. And do have your own contingency plan when such natural disaster occurs e.g. stock up on fresh boxes of Derek drinking water, canned food and a broadband to give the world updates through Facebook, Blogger, Twitter and MSN.

What If: We Are Under Communist Rule

There has been a fresh hubbub about Chin Peng's return to Malaysia and the government outlawing the Parti Komunis Malaya (Communist Party Malaya). So here is a fictional "What if" scenario; the PKM managed to help overthrow the Japanese invaders and hailed as the new hero. Supports were given from Soviet Russia but later from China after the USSR's dissolved. The Communist sphere of influence ruled the eastern parts of Asia ranging from China to the west, North Korea to the east and this country to the south. So here are the things that are likely to be seen:

AK-47s for EVERYONE!
Soviet firearms and other Soviet technologies will be easily accessible, and AK-47s can be bought for RM300. Every night will also be Molotov cocktail night.





Kirov Reporting
Kirov airships will be seen flying in the skies showing us all the necessary propaganda the Party wants us to hear.





Hammer & Sickle
We'll be driving patriotic cars! And for that I will respray my Getz red and add the Hammer & Sickle vinyl just for the Motherland!





Spread the Propaganda, ONLINE!
Even in the
virtual world when you are blogging or logging in to Facebook, remember the Party!






Battlefield control online
We'll have Dasha Fedorovich as the people's correspondent to inform us of all the glorious achievements of the Party
