MINOR EARTHQUAKES IN MY HOMETOWN

 

Yes, recently there were minor earthquakes in Malaysia (unheard of right?). And guess what? of all the places they happened in my hometown: Segamat. The first jolt (24th August 2025), I felt it, my brother and SIL also felt it. It was at 6:13 am. Some were praying the subuh prayer. I was scrolling through my phones and cyclops was next to me when it happened. Then immediately after a few people messaged me and asked what happened. A few minutes after we got the information that the 1 sec jolt was an earthquake of 4.1 magnitude on Richter scale. Pretty weak but that was my 1st time ever experiencing such a thing....really....I felt a little scared. Then of course life moved on. Later that day we found out that another jolt was felt at 9:00am. To date, there were 6 earthquakes in Segamat within a week. The 7th one occurred in Batu Pahat:
