just read the reports of major earthquakes at Padang Indonesia and Samoa island... and i remember
reading somewhere that the pacific ring..is moving closer to malaysia... and was wondering...if
our high rise buildings...can withstand...minor movements...

i can feel my condo moving during the EQ.. staying in Bkt antrabgsa

my wife working at near eastin hotel PJ felt it this evening, kinda freak me out for a while....

my office located on the 2nd floor of a 4storey shopoffice also can feel slight vibration...around 6:15 pm today...

quite worrying... cause padang sumatra quite near to malaysia

95% building here in MY r not design to withstand quake, god bless us..

i can feel the quake while i standing at ground

my mum working in golden jomalina in TPG also can feel the tremor....

is this in the correct section ?

or kopitiam instead ?

will it cause the apartment and condo depreciation?
since most of Malaysian felt the EQ, definitely some of them may think on future EQ which may happen anytime...

Jalan Ampang high rise kena at 7pm plus. Wonder Klcc condo drops a not. hehe

This is not good news : a client of mine held back the payment this morning for a batch of units in the KLCC area because of what happened yesterday,.... Arrangmenets have been made earlier for the purchase, many meeting have been held for negotiations,.....but I just received the news that this purchase has been held back and the client is not signing the purchase agreement just yet,....

wow. it is safe to stay at high rise building in malaysia.

klcc/tein tower won't fall my friend because there solid and got earth quake protection.. other condo i'm not sure la... sccary ekk...

Nowadays earthquake getting closer to west coast of malaysia. How safe is our high rise building? any industry index to measure? (E.g: Twin tower can sustain 6.0 earthquake magnitude or below... etc)

due to location, i read somewhere that most high rise buildings/residential in hong kong and japan are
built based on stringent spec.... but not sure how's in malaysia... for those who spent a fortune buying
a high end condo...and possibly overnight ...the value might drop drastically...if this bad things happen again...

people will worry to stay in high rise buildings.....

are you sure? well.. maybe u got a point there.. i dont think malaysia high rise building build to witstand shock wave... wondered any engineer can verified this.

Hillside dev also 'tidak apa' after the highlands tower tragedy,what more asking developers to incorporate tremor resistant designs, i don't know

What thinking to buy a condo... now with this show stopper think that its better to save the $$$ for landed property

true also...

Cut cost. Cut cost. Cut cost.
