Secondary school Geography lesson

Who remembers those Geography lessons we used to have back at secondary school? The chapter on Malaysia, which goes somewhat like saying:

"Malaysia is in a very suitable geographical location. We are blessed with enormous natural resources, an important trading position, and suffers from no natural disasters (if you ignore the floods on the Eastern peninsula)."

Well, they can now cut off that final bit. A tsunami finally hit Malaysian shores. May those who have gone to meet the Maker rest in peace.
