A third earthquake in four days rattled Malaysia’s Johor state on Wednesday 27 Aug morning, unsettling assumptions that the country is shielded from seismic activity and prompting calls for greater disaster preparedness.
Wednesday’s tremor, a magnitude 3.2 earthquake, struck at 8.59am. Its epicentre was located 18km (11 miles) south of Segamat town at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles), according to the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).
