SUMMARY

Although Malaysia is located outside the Pacific Ring of Fire and no major earthquakes have struck the peninsula so far but experts agree that the possibility of the Big One hitting, cannot be ruled out. The trem-ors were felt from the catastrophic 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake near Sumatra, Indonesia, a quake measur-ing 6.0 in magnitude rocked Ranau, Sabah in 2015 and a 4.0-magnitude earthquake hit the area around Mount Kinabalu in 2016. Could it be edging closer towards the most densely populated area in Malaysia – the Klang Valley? Could there be reactivation of old fault lines in Kuala Lumpur that can trigger earthquakes? What are the safety aspects of buildings to withstand earthquake tremors especially since many structures in the area were not built and designed to withstand earthquakes? What is the extent of the Klang Valley’s pre-paredness for earthquake? Is there any early detection and warning system in place? Is there any contingency plan for the city folks if an earthquake strikes? These are some of the interesting issues that will be discussed in the seminar by the esteemed speakers.
