Are we safe, though?​

For the most part, yes.

Our buildings are built to withstand tremors, thanks to the Building and Construction Authority's set of building codes and guidelines that were established in 2013.

Singapore will never ever have an "earthquake". Because if it does, it will be term as "Earth movement", just like we do not have floods but has ponding and tank crashing into traffic light becomes "come into contact with"

Bca better check everything properly. I don't know how resilient our flats are on direct earthquake

No need to check just need to rebuild everything . The buildings are not to design to withstand direct earthquake just light tremors.

Hope Singapore got snow in my lifetime.

We experienced hail a few times.

Regions with marine clay will feel stronger impact from a distant earthquake... places like Kallang, marine parade, simei. AMK ....

Marine clay amplifies

If Singapore got 5.0 quake with 10km depth or less I bet 20% of HDB will Toh like dominos
