Eatehquake happend in Malaysia?? A powerful earthquake hit tsunami-devastated Sumatra early this morning, causing panic in peninsular Malaysia, where the effects of the tremor shook buildings from Malacca to Alor Star, sending people fleeing to higher ground in search of safety.

Tremors from an earthquake in Indonesia rattled Malaysia tonight, sending residents of hotels and high rise buildings fleeing in the capital Kuala Lumpur, residents said.

"I was sleeping and felt the bed shaking just after midnight" one woman who lives on the sixth floor of a downtown apartment block told AFP.


"Everybody rushed down out of our building and many others. People were just standing around in the streets.

A resident of Penang island off the northwest coast said the tremor disconnected phone lines, the Bernama news agency reported.

The quake hit a location between the island's main cities of Pedang and Medan at around 11:15 pm (1615 GMT) and lasted up to three minutes, it didnt happend in Malaysia before. I hope that it won't be happend again.
