Good selling point but it's added cost
I wonder what if, just what if because i dont have any experience in itthere's a scale for durability / ability to withstand a certain scale of say 1 - 10 magnitude earthquake
can withstand 2 out of 10, but without significant added cost
then i think can be considered not?

Malaysia except certain places in Sabah has earthquakes Richter scale higher than 4, none of the places exceed it.
Normal building structure can withstand earthquakes Richter scale 4, and most importantly, major cities in Malaysia are not at the active fault lines, the earthquake magnitude at those cities is even lower.
The chances earthquake that cause damage to buildings in Malaysia is so low that government does not impose mandatory regulations on building to withstand damage, unlike Japan and Taiwan, which has strict building regulations for earthquakes.
In conclusion, why need to spend more money to build stronger building if destructive earthquake is not likely to happen in most part of Malaysia? Just like you won't install a fireplace or heater in your house to prevent subzero winter arrive in Malaysia.
Makes sense, was just wondering relatively, earthquake can happen anytime especially like you say in sabah which has a sleeping volcanoNormal building structure can withstand earthquakes Richter scale 4, and most importantly, major cities in Malaysia are not at the active fault lines, the earthquake magnitude at those cities is even lower.

so its sort of like you'll never know situation

Basically unless your building is those super high types like twin towers, KL tower, 118 or TRX....
No use having earthquake proofing building
But earthquake can strike anywhere no?No use having earthquake proofing building
never know one day richter scale 4 hit one here, suddenly 20 floor and above hailat
