Barely 12 hours after a 2.5-magnitude earthquake struck Johor on Thursday (Aug 28), another 3.4-magnitude earthquake has rattled the Malaysian state.

The Malaysian Meteorological Department said the quake occurred at 4.24am on Friday (Aug 29), 22km northeast of Segamat and at a depth of 10km.

The agency added that tremors were felt in Johor and that it was monitoring the situation.

Since the Sunday earthquake (Aug 24), Johor has been affected by a series of weak seismic events.

A second, milder 2.8-magnitude earthquake was recorded hours after the first seismic event at 6.13am.

On Wednesday, a third earthquake with a magnitude of 3.2 struck 18km south of Segamat at a depth of 10km.

Experts have said that the Sunday quake in Johor suggests the need for further detailed studies to understand if it may be due to a small inactive fault that has been reactivated, or a different fault.

Sinkies first priority is PAP maintains 2/3 majority in Parliament; second, got CDC vouchers; and third, got GST increase.

Why ? KNN, no GST increase means no GSTV. Still don't believe GST is to help the poor?

S'poreans should be afraid of sinkholes appearing under their HDB blocks.

During my 1st month of marriage, my parents used to feel tremors in their house. These tremors only stopped after my wife and I shifted into our matrimonial home following the completion of renovations.
