Not sure what u r talking about as I'm neither an architect nor a structural engineer. This was incorporated in the designs for the houses I built in Hulu Selangor and a few more in Penang. All based on Eurocode 8.
ag = 0.35g
Soil C
S = 1.15
Effective design PGA: 0.4025g
q = 3.9
Base shear > 610 kN
Reinforced concrete frame, reinforced shear wall with rebar, ductile detailing, strong seismic connections and energy dissipation are part of the design of the houses, which are only 2-2.5 stories high.
It's not as expensive as most other contractors too. The architect is my buddy.

What are your seismic parameters? Do share
You're totally wrong. Actual data says otherwise but the threat is not in Penang.

Bukit Tinggi (KL) faults has been reactivated and going to get stronger in the future.
