Earthquake with a magnitude of 4.1 struck Johor early on Sunday morning (Aug 24)

In HDB, cost of gross structural repairs and replacement will be born by HDB. Homeowners only need worry about cosmetic rectifications IMO. (this is the fire insurance) Content coverage is additional.

In Condos and maybe strata landed, the MCST will play the role of the HDB. Whether or not they actually have adequate coverage is another thing. Here the homeowner's fire insurance coverage is for localized in-unit damage just like HDB. Content coverage is additional.

For private landed, the homeowner bears everything. There is reconstruction coverage for the bare structure, which is roughly equivalent to fire insurance in a flat or condo. Content coverage is additional.

PC and Landed - they should take care of themselves…

sg wont kena big quake one la

Beside public infrastructure… building safety for private homes falls on the building owner Tio Bo???
Those sexpensive ATAS Private condo and Landed house? No more warranty Liao… Good luck to them….

有钱人最怕死…

穷人，富人，什么人都怕死。到最后每个人都会死。只是你这辈子活得有意思？You are saying staying in HDB is the best?

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

The recent 4.1-magnitude earthquake that struck Johor early on Aug 24 did not affect buildings in Singapore, said the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

In a Facebook post on Aug 26, BCA said all buildings in the country are designed based on prevailing internationally recognised codes, adapted to fit Singapore’s needs.

It said: “Our buildings are designed to be sufficiently robust and capable of withstanding lateral forces, including those due to tremors from distant earthquakes.”

Also, BCA and other agencies have been monitoring real-time data to assess the impact of seismic activities on Singapore buildings.

The 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck at 6.13am on Aug 24, in the Malaysian town of Segamat, about 180km from Singapore, BCA said.

None of the tremor sensors installed on buildings across Singapore were triggered by the earthquake, it added.

BCA said it will continue to closely track regional seismic developments, review and update its building safety framework, to keep pace with evolving global standards and environment conditions like climate variations and resilience against regional earthquakes.

Malaysia sits outside the Pacific Ring of Fire, meaning catastrophic quakes are unlikely. But its proximity to Sumatra, combined with dormant local fault lines, means tremors are not impossible.

The Aug 24 incident was a reminder that even in a country not known for earthquakes, preparedness and resilient infrastructure matter.

Question is what happened below that causes the earthquake?

“(Sunday’s) earthquake is a reminder - the Johor region already experienced even larger earthquakes (back) in 1922 - that at least some of the faults in the Malay Peninsula are active, even if earthquakes in the (area) are rare,” Aron Meltzner, an earthquake geology expert from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) Earth Observatory of Singapore, told CNA.

Will reach sinkieland not?

 

[DragonFire]

Mmm more intraplate quakes. Harbinger of a bigger rupture?

Nobody can guarantee.
Looking at Singapore less than 200 years recorded civilization.
Before that is there any major earthquake or not no one know.
