JOHOR BARU: The tremors felt in Segamat and Yong Peng may indicate the presence of a previously unidentified active fault line in Johor, according to a Universiti Tek­­no­logi Malaysia (UTM) academic.

Dr Mohd Zamri Ramli, who is part of UTM’s engineering seismology and earthquake engineering research (eSEER) team, said past geological data showed no evidence of active faults in Sega­mat except for some activity recor­ded in Mersing along the Mersing fault line.
