Quake prone areas: Safety issues

In view of this report Tremor hits Bukit Tinggi, again... and the fact that tremors have been occuring in this region several times within these few months, it may be prudent for all companies who have public buildings and infrastructure used by tourists and the public to make a statement that there is NO damage to structures and properties in the vicinity of Bukit Tinggi, Janda Baik and Genting highlands. We cannot deny that, with the existence of hot springs in the country for example in Setapak, Pedas, Sungkai, etc., certain areas in Malaysia maybe situated in 'weak fault' areas, which recent seismic events may have further weakened the sites. A Public assurance statement, after detailed evaluation of the properties, roads and infrastructure would demonstrate that the various parties have been proactive and have the public's safety at heart.. And don't classify the investigation under the OSA
