Singapore Vulnerable to Tsunamis?

Was browsing through the net. Internet Explorer homepage is Yahoo so .... yeah.
Then u know Yahoo always got the news thingy right? I was looking through it and one news caught my immediate attention.















I shall now quote from the news.

SINGAPORE — Singapore is not completely immune from a tsunami and should prepare for the possibility, an expert on coastal areas warned Friday.


The island—state can be hit by a tsunami generated from three locations and the waves could damage key coastal infrastructure without being too high, said Professor Wong Poh Poh of the National University of Singapore geography department.

"It’s not that we are totally immune. No, we are not immune," Wong said.



WOW! We are actually vulnerable to Tsunamis. Oh well. Nothing very surprising these days with the climate change blah blah.
