Earthquake in Peninsular Malaysia: what should we learn from affected countries?

Peninsular Malaysia is lucky enough in the sense that it isnt located on the Ring of Fire, the hotspot for earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Nevertheless, since 2007, Malaysia has experienced about 40 cases of mild tremor (reported at 1.1 to 2.8 on the Richter scale) recorded at Bentong, Manjung,...
