Tsunami warning siren in Kota Belud a false alarm, says MetMalaysia


PETALING JAYA: A tsunami alert siren heard in Kota Belud, Sabah early Saturday (Nov 4) morning was a false alarm, says the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).

It said the siren triggered at the National Tsunami Early Warning System installation on the grounds of the Imam Hj Mustapah mosque was caused by a technical issue as the department did not issue any tsunami warning.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
