Thailand also far from Myanmar epi center. Buildings in Thailand also crack and one cee cee pee railway contractor project building also toh.

Tats y. Mother earth had enuff n fighting back

will affect RTS?

I believe is fake news lah...
Our area not along ring if fire leh.

Nowadays got alot of AI fake news

Do not need to be near edge of tectonic plates for earthquake. Even hongkong also has earthquakes.

Hope CPFB will lower the withdrawal and payout age of CPF in view of the earthquake not far from Singapore.

4.1 japan everday also have la....

I seriously wonder what cause the quake… I don’t think there fault line there…

Many known fault lines in peninsula malaysia. See the map in the below link. Many small fault lines in the segamat area. Most are considered dormant with occasional mild tremors.

Soon will be sg …

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"

Correct term is tremor. News always reported ground shakes caused by earthquake in sumatra as tremors.

Singapore is still part of the pacific ring of fire, the pacific ring have woken up since the magnitude 8 earthquake in Russia not long ago

Now understand why JHK only buy terrace or landed house but not condominium or high rise.

Land chip car chip then incentives to build high rise buildings or rail is lower

• Fault Line Context: The earthquake occurred in an area associated with known fault zones in Peninsular Malaysia. The Mersing Fault Zone and Ma Okil Fault Zone are recognized as potentially active strike-slip faults in Johor. While the region is not located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is prone to major seismic events, historical records show that intraplate earthquakes—those occurring within a tectonic plate—can happen in Malaysia. The 1922 Johor earthquakes, which registered magnitudes of 5.4 and 5.0, are examples of such intraplate seismicity. Although the three main fault lines in Peninsular Malaysia (Bokbak, Bentong-Raub, and Bebir) are generally considered non-active, small-scale tremors have been recorded in areas like Pahang and Terengganu, possibly due to stress points or fluid release.

real or fake news?

While Malaysia is located outside the Pacific Ring of Fire, the country is not completely immune to the risk of earthquakes, said one expert.

The Institute of Geology Malaysia’s president Abd Rasid Jaapar told Bernama in March this year that while Malaysia is not situated along the collision zone of major tectonic plates, several minor tremors have been recorded in certain areas over recent decades.

"Earthquakes are unpredictable in both location and magnitude. For instance, Bukit Tinggi once experienced a 3.8-magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale. However, at present, there is no significant earthquake risk in Peninsular Malaysia," he said.

Structures all OK?

Hope is not becos built rts...

our tofu flat can tahan?

Better than Malaysia’s la. And given the magnitude.. I think if it can withstand bbfa raging at home, surely can withstand earthquake of that magnitude
