SINGAPORE: Tremors were felt in Geylang, Marine Parade and St
George’s Lane Tuesday morning.
MediaCorp’s hotline received several calls informing it of
tremors in these areas.
The National Environment Agency said the 6.9—magnitude
earthquake struck off Indonesia’s Southern Sumatra island, which is
about 580km from Singapore, was detected at 5.02am local time.
Sumatra island was rocked by two powerful aftershocks in the
early hours of Tuesday morning, with local tsunami alerts being
issued on both occasions, the US Geological Survey said. —
