No ah, didn't feel anything here in Midgard middle of Singapore... Or at least, nothing amiss that would alert me to something.

better start looking for cracks on the wall, be it inside your house or outside, at the lobby... everywhere

Our walls already cracked since donkey years ago...

But people at east side say they can feel? But funny, west side always zero feel and is only less than 20km away from east side roughly.

The earthquake is part of the East Coast Plan, you can check with our Taskman...

No idea. Earthquakes usually have aftershocks right?

No idea. Earthquakes usually have aftershocks right?

AI -Singapore can feel earthquakes, but it is very unlikely to have a strong, destructive earthquake on its own.

Here’s why:
Singapore is not on a fault line
Singapore is located in a stable part of the Earth’s crust. It is not on major tectonic plate boundaries like:
Indonesia
Japan
Philippines

These countries sit along the “Ring of Fire,” where earthquakes happen frequently.

Why Singapore sometimes feels shaking
When big earthquakes happen in nearby Indonesia (especially Sumatra), Singapore can feel tremors.

Example:
Large quakes in Sumatra (like those near Sumatra)
Sometimes buildings in Singapore sway slightly, especially high floors.
But this is far-distance shaking, not a local earthquake.

Can Singapore ever get a strong earthquake?
Very rare, but:
Small local tremors are possible.
Very strong local earthquakes are extremely unlikely based on current geology.
Singapore buildings are also designed with some safety margin, especially newer high-rise buildings.

Simple answer:
Feel tremors from Indonesia — Yes
Major destructive earthquake in Singapore — Very unlikely.

Simple Answer for You:
✔ HDB safe
✔ Condo safe
✔ High floor sway is normal
Big destructive earthquake in Singapore — very unlikely

Thats because it is very deep, at 678km. Thats in the mantle, and more than 10% of the way to the middle of the earth.
