Note: This is NOT an earthquake warning.

There’s a wide perception that Malaysia is free from earthquakes because it’s situated outside the Pacific Ring of Fire.

In a statement, the ministry said the effects of earthquakes that occur in Sumatra, Indonesia, and the movement of tectonic plates of the Indian-Australian plate can trigger the activation of ancient faults in Peninsular Malaysia and cause earthquakes. According to Free Malaysia Today, the strong tremors previously registered in Sabah were at a magnitude 6 to 6.3 in 1923, 1958, 1976, and 2015.In the peninsula, there were several earthquake tremors with a local epicentre in Bukit Tinggi , Kenyir Dam , Kuala Pilah , Manjung , and Temenggor , with a magnitude range between 1.6 and 4.6 in 1984, 1985, 1987, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2013.

During the earthquake, it’s advisable to bow down, take cover, or evacuate to safety. According to CDC, people should protect their heads and neck with their arms, a pillow or a large book to prevent injuries from falling objects.
