Myanmar authorities have arrested an astrologer for causing panic by predicting a new earthquake in a viral TikTok video.

John Moe The had warned that an earthquake would “hit every city in Myanmar” on 21 April. But experts say earthquakes are impossible to predict due to the complexity of the factors involved in such disasters.

From the title I assumed he successfully predicted an earthquake.

There was a gigantic one back in March, killed over a thousand. A building in Bangkok, Thailand even collapsed.

Not like Myanmar hadn’t already been bombing their citizens up to and after the quake though .

Just to add a note to your comment, only a china building in construction collapsed in Thailand, no other building did. There is now an investigation for corruption regarding that building.

That earthquake was really mostly strong in Myanmar.
