There have been very large mag 8 intraplate quakes.

What about Singapore?

In a written reply to a parliamentary question posed by retired Member of Parliament Dr Lim Wee Kiak in 2015, then-Environment and Water Resources Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said that the likelihood of an earthquake occurring in Singapore is "extremely low".

low likelihood doesn’t mean no likelihood

 

[ridiculous?]

It will not happen in sg, just like it will not happen in bangkok.

whether the aftershock/wave able to reach sg is another matter

Sg got fault lines in the North, reported few months ago.

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

I'm thinking if the prefab panels will be shaken off.

Come in contact with the ground ?

Tectonic plates come into contact

 

[Potato_Wedges]

Hmmm...indo ring of fire getting neaer to Singapore.

 

[pwongkk]

If the epicenter was in Johor, rather than an aftershock in Sumatra, it would mean that the tectonic plates had moved and an earthquake would have occurred in Peninsular Malaysia, including Singapore.

In terms of metrology distance, all these are not too far away.

Now don't even have flowers where got Durians to drop? 555

Sg will use the excuse limited durian due to earthquake dropping the fruits, flowers and trees to justify the increase of durian prices.

 

[kuti-kuti]

Better stop going in jb 1st. See got any after shock

 

[pwongkk]

Soon will be sg …

Don't worry, as early as the coming week, "experts" will be on TV and media to downplay it.
