KL, JB Experience Tremor From Sumatra’s Quake
KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 (Bernama) — Several areas in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Baharu experienced a tremor said to be caused by an earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter which jolted Indonesia’s south-west Sumatra this morning.
The tremor was felt at high rise buildings in the two areas following the quake at 11.49 am Tuesday, said the Meteorological Department in a statement today.
It said the moderate quake which happened 65km south-west of Padang, Sumatra, 372km south west of Melaka did not pose any tsunami threat.
Meanwhile, the tremor was also felt at the fifth, 14th and 15th floors of Bernama building and the staff came down to assemble at the lobby of the building.
Bernama Corporate Communication Manager Hasnita Tamin said she and other staff were shaken when the office vibrated for a short while.
“The computers in the office were shaking and we all rushed down to the lobby,” she said.
