Heads and staff from several government departments observing a moment of silence at the monument.

KUALA LUMPUR: It was nine years ago, but Ridwan Mohd Taib can still vividly recall the chaos when a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Sabah's hilly Ranau district.

He was on leave at the time and had returned to his village in Kampung Lasing, about 3km from the town district.
