PETALING JAYA: The risk of earthquakes in Malaysia over the next decade is expected to remain low to moderate, based on monitoring by the minerals and geoscience department.
Natural resources and environmental sustainability minister Arthur Joseph Kurup said the projection is based on historical records, seismic activity patterns, and the country’s tectonic position.
“Sabah continues to be identified as the region with the most active seismic activity, and the possibility of moderate to strong earthquakes still exists,” Kurup said in a written parliamentary reply.
