Singapore remembers those who perished in 2004 tsunami: PM Lee

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who visited Banda Aceh and Meulaboh days after the disaster, hopes Singaporeans would learn from such natural disasters. “We must be prepared for them, and work together to protect ourselves,” he said.

Sang MIO - SINGAPORE: The tsunami that killed 230,000 people a decade ago on Boxing Day, after an earthquake struck the Sumatra coast in Indonesia, shows "how fragile and uncertain human life is, and how resilient and united we must be in the face of adversity," said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in a Facebook post on Friday (Dec 26).

"Natural calamities will happen again. We must be prepared for them, and work together to protect ourselves," he added.

Mr Lee also wrote about his visit to Banda Aceh and Meulaboh in Indonesia days after the disaster. “This was the closest land to the epicentre, and the worst hit,” he said.

“The Singapore Armed Forces were already there, mounting our largest relief effort ever, to support our close neighbour. Our Home Team, Non-Governmental Organisations, and individual Singaporeans were also helping,” he added, saying he was overwhelmed by the extensive damage.

Despite the trauma, grief and uncertainty, the survivors were determined to recover, said Mr Lee.

“A decade later, many of the destroyed areas are again bustling with life. The survivors have also rebuilt their lives," he said. "But we also remember those who have perished."

Indian mothers try to conceive after losing children to 2004 tsunami

While the killer waves left countless orphans, there were also several mothers who lost their children. Sterilised or too old to conceive, a few were abandoned by their husbands. Some went into depression and even committed suicide. Others attempted recanalisation to try to conceive.

Sang MIO - INDIA: The southern town of Nagapattinam was one of the places in India worst hit by the Asian tsunami in 2004. Out of the nearly 16,000 casualties in the country, more than 6,000 were from Nagapattinam, a town of fishing families.

While the killer waves left countless orphans, there were also several mothers who lost their children. Sterilised or too old to conceive, a few were abandoned by their husbands. Some went into depression and even committed suicide. Others attempted recanalisation to try to conceive.

Harimalai lost all her four children to the tsunami. Having opted for government-sponsored sterilisation before the tragedy, she could not conceive again. But desperate to have children, she went under the knife to undergo recanalisation to rejoin her fallopian tubes.

She said: "For three months I did not talk to my husband. I had lost my children and I just kept crying. I would not eat food. I stopped applying any kind of make-up, I even stopped combing my hair. It's only after my child was born that I started putting a bindi on my forehead and putting flowers in my hair."

But out of the 67 recorded cases who underwent recanalisation, 54 could not conceive. Vasantha is one of them. "Now it is going to be 10 years. Whenever I go near my old home, I only cry, cry and cry. There is no peace in my mind because I lost three of my children to the tsunami. Even if I get another child, still I can never forget them."

While some women are happy being mothers again, others like Vasantha are having to come to terms with lives without children.

Thailand to remember tsunami victims at ceremony in Phang Nga

Thailand lost 8,000 people to the Asian tsunami in 2004, and it will remember the victims in a ceremony at Phang Nga, the hardest-hit area on Thailand's southwestern coast.

Sang MIO - PHUKET: In remembrance of the Asian tsunami, the Thai government will hold a special ceremony in Phang Nga province, the hardest-hit area in the country, on Friday (Dec 26).

Friday marks the 10th anniversary of the disaster.

Thailand, where no disaster warning system had been in place, lost 8,000 people to the tsunami. That has prompted it to pay closer attention to such threats from natural disasters. Ten years on, the country is better equipped with an effective disaster warning system. 

Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha will preside over the two-hour ceremony, which will also be attended by foreign dignitaries.

On Thursday, a rehearsal was carried out to ensure a smooth roll-out of activities. Rows of chairs were lined up for the guests and speeches were practised.

On Friday, the event will start with the laying of wreaths at the tsunami memorial in Phang Nga, followed by General Prayuth's speech in a tribute to all the lives that were lost. The event will also include a recitation of poetry before a candlelight memorial ceremony at the end.

Prayers and tears as Asia mourns tsunami dead 10 years on

On December 26, 2004 a 9.3-magnitude earthquake off Indonesia's western tip generated a series of massive waves that pummelled the coastline of 14 countries as far apart as Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Somalia.

Sang MIO - BANDA ACEH, Indonesia: Prayers, tears and solemn visits to mass graves marked commemorations on Friday (Dec 26) across tsunami-hit nations for the 220,000 people who perished when giant waves decimated coastal areas of the Indian Ocean a decade ago.

On December 26, 2004 a 9.3-magnitude earthquake off Indonesia's western tip generated a series of massive waves that pummelled the coastline of 14 countries as far apart as Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Somalia.

Among the victims were thousands of foreign tourists enjoying Christmas in the region, carrying the tragedy of an unprecedented natural disaster into homes around the world.

A chorus of voices singing the Indonesian national anthem opened the official memorial at a 20-acre park in Indonesia's Banda Aceh - the main city of the province closest to the epicentre of the massive quake and which bore the brunt of waves towering up to 35-metres (115 feet) high.

"Thousands of corpses were sprawled in this field," Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla told the crowd of several thousand - many among them weeping. "Tears that fell at that time... there were feelings of confusion, shock, sorrow, fear and suffering. We prayed."

"And then we rose and received help in an extraordinary way. Help came from Indonesia and everyone else, our spirits were revived," he said, hailing the outpouring of aid from local and foreign donors.

Mosques also held prayers across the province early Friday while people visited mass graves - the resting place of many of Indonesia's 170,000 tsunami dead. But a Red Cross display of hundreds of salvaged ID documents and bank cards, also served as grim reminder that many victims simply vanished.

'I REMEMBER THEM EVERY DAY'

In southern Thailand, where half of the 5,300 dead were foreign tourists, a smattering of holidaymakers gathered at a memorial park in the small fishing village of Ban Nam Khem, which was obliterated by the waves.

As the ceremony began, survivors recounted stories of horror and miraculous survival as the churning waters, laden with the debris of eviscerated bungalows, cars and boats, swept in without warning, killing half of the village's inhabitants.

Swiss national Raymond Moor said he noticed something was amiss when he saw a white line on the horizon rushing towards the beach where he and his wife were having breakfast. "I told my wife to run for her life... it wasn't a wave but a black wall," he said, describing being caught up in the water moments later like "being in a washing machine". "A Thai woman from the hotel saved my life by pulling me up to a balcony. She died later," he said, breaking into tears. Moor's wife survived.

Nearby, Thai Somjai Somboon, 40, said she was yet to get over the loss of her two sons, who were ripped from their house when the waves cut into Thailand. "I remember them every day," she told AFP, also with tears in her eyes, adding "I will always miss my sons."

Among the international commemorations, in Sweden, which lost 543 to the waves, the royal family and relatives of those who died will attend a memorial service in Uppsala Cathedral on Friday afternoon.

Disaster-stricken nations struggled to mobilise a relief effort, leaving bloated bodies to pile up under the tropical sun or in makeshift morgues. The world poured money and expertise into the relief and reconstruction, with more than US$13.5 billion collected in the months after the disaster.

Almost US$7 billion in aid went into rebuilding more than 140,000 houses across Aceh, thousands of kilometres of roads, and new schools and hospitals. The disaster also ended a decades-long separatist conflict in Aceh, with a peace deal between rebels and Jakarta struck less than a year later.

LIVES NEEDLESSLY LOST

In Sri Lanka, where 31,000 people perished, survivors and relatives of the around 1,000 who died when waves derailed a passenger train, boarded the restored Ocean Queen Express and headed to Peraliya - the exact spot where it was ripped from the tracks, around 90 kilometres (56 miles) south of Colombo.

Ahead of the ceremony one of the train guards told AFP a lack of knowledge of tsunamis led to needless deaths. "We had about 15 minutes to move the passengers to safety. I could have done it. We had the time, but not the knowledge," 58-year-old Wanigaratne Karunatilleke said.

A pan-ocean tsunami warning system was established in 2011, made up of a network of sea gauges, buoys and seismic monitors, while individual countries have invested heavily in disaster preparedness. But experts have cautioned against the perils of "disaster amnesia" creeping into communities vulnerable to natural disasters.

Tsunami-hit nations mark anniversary

Memorial services are being held in Indonesia and other nations for the victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami on the 10th anniversary of the disaster.

Sang MIO - In Indonesia's province of Aceh - the worst hit area - Vice-President Jusuf Kalla led tributes to the dead at the Siron mass grave.

Memorial ceremonies will also take place in Thailand and Sri Lanka.

More than 200,000 people died when an underwater earthquake set off massive waves on 26 December 2004.

In Aceh's capital, Banda Aceh, Mr Kalla thanked local volunteers and the outside world for helping Aceh recover from the tragedy. He also presented awards to ambassadors from the donor nations.

"Thousands of corpses were sprawled in this field" he said. "Tears that fell at that time... there were feelings of confusion, shock, sorrow, fear and suffering. We prayed."

Earlier, thousands of people earlier gathered at the city's Great Mosque - a 19th Century building that was one of the few structures in the town to survive the tsunami.

The mosque's imam, Asman Ismail, said the tsunami had taught a "valuable lesson" to Aceh, which had been the scene of an armed conflict for nearly 30 years.

"After the tsunami, no-one fights against each other, people live in harmony and peace till this day," he said.

Efforts to end the conflict resumed after the tsunami, culminating in a peace deal between the government and the rebels in August 2005.

In Thailand, people are marking the anniversary with a series of solemn events and religious rites throughout the day.

In the small fishing village of Ban Nam Khem, Phang Nga province, people have been laying flowers at a memorial wall displaying names of the victims.

The village was devastated by the massive waves.

Nearly 5,500 people died in Thailand, half of whom were foreign tourists.

Pakistan resumes executions after Peshawar school attack

Pakistan has carried out two executions, the first since a death penalty moratorium was lifted after a deadly attack on a Peshawar school.

Sang MIO - One of those executed was convicted over an attack on Pakistan's Army HQ in 2009, the other over an assassination attempt on ex-leader Pervez Musharraf.

The UN had earlier urged Pakistan not to resume its executions.

Some 141 people, mostly children, died in the Taliban attack on the Army Public school in Peshawar.

Pakistani media named the two executed men as Aqeel, alias Dr Usman, and Arshad Mehmood.

Usman was arrested during the raid on the Rawalpindi HQ and sentenced to death in 2011.

Mehmood was sentenced to death over the attempt on Mr Musharraf's life in the same city in 2003.

UN human rights spokesman Rupert Colville had earlier urged Pakistan not to resume executions.

He said: "To its great credit, Pakistan has maintained a de facto moratorium on the death penalty since 2008, and we urge the government not to succumb to widespread calls for revenge, not least because those at most risk of execution in the coming days are people convicted of different crimes, and can have had nothing to do with Wednesday's premeditated slaughter."

FBI blames North Korea for Sony hack

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation says North Korea was behind a cyber-attack on Sony Pictures over a film about its leader Kim Jong-un.

Sang MIO - The agency said analysis of malware showed links to North Korea.

Sony withdrew the film The Interview following threats from hackers, who had earlier also released sensitive information stored on Sony computers.

CNN quoted the hackers as welcoming the withdrawal and warning Sony not to release the film in any form.

Sony's decision has outraged many artists. Actor George Clooney told the trade website Deadline on Thursday that the film should be released online.

Earlier the White House labelled the Sony breach a serious national security matter.

On Thursday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters US officials had held daily discussions about the Sony cyber-attack and were considering an "appropriate response".

Sony cancelled the holiday release of the comedy film after national theatre chains refused to show it.

The movie features James Franco and Seth Rogen as two journalists who are granted an audience with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him. The film was due to have been released over Christmas.

Hackers had earlier issued a warning referring to the 11 September 2001 terror attacks, saying "the world will be full of fear" if the film was screened.

The film's cancelled release drew criticism in Hollywood, with some calling it an attack on the freedom of expression.

Actor George Clooney told the trade website Deadline on Thursday the film should be released online, saying Hollywood shouldn't be threatened by North Korea.

In November, a cyber-attack crippled computers at Sony and led to upcoming films and workers' personal data being leaked online.

The hackers also released salary details and social security numbers for thousands of Sony employees - including celebrities.

North Korea earlier this month denied involvement in the hack - but praised the attack itself as a "righteous deed".

An article on North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency, quoting the country's top military body, said suggestions that Pyongyang was behind the attack were "wild rumour".

However, it warned the US that "there are a great number of supporters and sympathisers" of North Korea "all over the world" who may have carried out the attack.

In the article, Sony Pictures was accused of "abetting a terrorist act" and "hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership" of North Korea by producing the movie.

Pakistani Taliban: Army kills '59 militants'

Pakistan's military says it has killed 59 militants in ground assaults and air strikes on Taliban units in areas near the border with Afghanistan.

Sang MIO - The operations come days after the Taliban killed 141 people at a school in Peshawar, mostly children.

The military has stepped up its offensive against the insurgents in the provinces of the Khyber agency and North Waziristan.

Assaults on militants in North Waziristan began in June.

This week's operations included a series of ground assaults and 20 air strikes by Pakistani jets in the Khyber tribal region, which killed 27 militants including an Uzbek commander.

An ambush on Thursday night by special forces in the Tirah Valley, an area near the Afghan border, killed another 32 militants.

'Break their backs'
Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif told the BBC that his country ought to have pursued military action against the Taliban earlier this year, instead of holding talks with the militants.

"A negotiated settlement with these people is not possible," he said.

"There has to be a military solution, we have to eliminate them first, we have to break their backs," he said. "Total elimination is what the people of Pakistan want."

The government initiated peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban earlier this year, but the negotiations made little headway.

Fifa World Cup report: Michael Garcia findings to be released

Fifa executives have unanimously agreed to publish a "legally appropriate version" of a report into allegations of World Cup bidding corruption.

Sang MIO - However, world football's governing body insisted Russia and Qatar will stay as hosts of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments respectively.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he asked the executive committee to vote in favour of publishing the report.

"We have always been determined the truth should be known," he said.

"That is, after all, why we set up an independent ethics committee with an investigatory chamber that has all necessary means to undertake investigations on its own initiative."

Uefa president Michel Platini called for publication of the Garcia report as soon as possible.

"I have always battled for transparency and this is a step in the right direction. Let us hope that the report can now be published as quickly as possible. The credibility of Fifa depends on it."

Only a disputed summary of Michael Garcia's 430-page report into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups has been published.

Blatter on 2022 World Cup:
"It would really need an earthquake, extremely important new elements, to go back on this World Cup in Qatar."

Releasing the full report, which is likely to be heavily redacted to preserve witness confidentiality, is a change in Fifa policy.

However, it will only be published once ongoing investigations into five individuals are completed.

Those five are:
- Spaniard Angel Maria Villar, a Fifa vice-president;
- Belgian Michel D'Hooghe;
- Thailand's Worawi Makudi;
- Former executive committee member Franz Beckenbauer;
- And former Chile football leader Harold Mayne-Nicholls.

"We need to ensure that we respect the rules of our organisation and that we do not breach confidentiality in a way that will prevent people from speaking out in the future," added Blatter.

The 78-year-old Swiss insisted later that there was no reason for Russia and Qatar to lose their rights to stage future World Cups.

"At the current time, there is no reason to go back on our decisions," he told a news conference following a two-day meeting of Fifa's executive committee in Morocco.

"The two World Cups are in the calendar, the only thing missing is the precise dates for 2022, but these two World Cups will take place."

Addressing Qatar specifically, he added that only an "earthquake" could change Fifa's decision to hold the 2022 tournament in the Gulf state.

"It would really need an earthquake, extremely important new elements, to go back on this World Cup in Qatar," he said.

Garcia was appointed Fifa's independent ethics investigator in 2012 and spent two years investigating all nine bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups following claims of corruption and collusion.

The American lawyer travelled the world speaking to bid officials and appealing for evidence of wrongdoing.
He eventually submitted a report to Fifa in September 2014.
Fifa subsequently released a 42-page summary that cleared Russia and Qatar of corruption.
However, an unhappy Garcia claimed it was "incomplete and erroneous".
Earlier this week, he resigned, citing "lack of leadership" at Fifa.
Blatter, seeking a fifth term as Fifa president, conceded his organisation had been "in a crisis" but insisted: "The crisis has stopped because we again have the unity in our government."

Four years of controversy
2 December, 2010 - Russia and Qatar chosen to host 2018 and 2022 World Cups
4 October, 2013 - Fifa agrees to set up taskforce to look into alternative dates for 2022 World Cup in Qatar
1 June, 2014 - Sunday Times alleges ex-Fifa vice-president Mohamed bin Hammam paid £3m to football officials in return for supporting Qatari bid
5 September, 2014 - Report into 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process submitted to Fifa by Michael Garcia
13 November, 2014 - Fifa releases 42-page summary of Garcia report which clears Russia and Qatar of corruption
13 November, 2014 - Garcia claims summary of his report is "materially incomplete" and contains "erroneous representations"
20 November, 2014 - Garcia and Fifa ethics judge Hans-Joachim Eckert agree to release full report to organisation's compliance chief, Domenico Scala
16 December, 2014 - Fifa deems Garcia's complaint against Eckert's summary of his report is "not admissible"
17 December, 2014 - Garcia quits as independent chairman of the Fifa Ethics Committee's Investigatory Chamber
19 December, 2014 - Fifa agrees to release full Garcia report
