PETALING JAYA: More collaboration in research between Indonesia and Malaysia is needed to understand how Indonesia’s earthquakes would affect Malaysia, said a geologist.

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Centre of Tropical Geoengineering director Prof Dr Edy Tonnizam Mohamad said Malaysia may experience tremors when the Sunda plate on which it sits collides against the Philippines Sea Plate near Sabah or the Indo-Australian Plate on the west.
