Overview

• MetMalaysia reported a magnitude-2.7 earthquake near Segamat at 7:29am on Aug 30, about 2km northwest of the town at a depth of roughly 10km.
• The latest event brings the count to six quakes in a week following the initial 4.1 tremor on Aug 24 and subsequent aftershocks ranging from 2.5 to 3.4.
• Authorities say the activity reflects shallow crustal movement associated with the Mersing Fault Zone in a region influenced by broader Sunda subduction stresses.
• No injuries or significant damage have been reported, and Malaysia’s Fire and Rescue Department says search and rescue teams remain on alert.
• MetMalaysia continues to gather public observations via an online form after tremors were felt locally and, during the first quake, in parts of Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and southern Pahang.
