KOTA KINABALU: A powerful deep sea 6.8 magnitude earthquake off northern Sabah does not increase earthquake danger in Sabah similar to the 2015 deadly Ranau earthquake, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) geologist Prof Emeritus Dr Felix Tongkul (pic) says.
“At this stage, there is no evidence that these deep earthquakes mean increased earthquake danger for Sabah,” Tongkul, who is with UMS’s Natural Disaster Research Centre, said when contacted Monday (Feb 23).
