Geologist Prof Dr Felix Tongkul.
KOTA KINABALU: The two weak earthquakes that happened two hours apart near Mount Kinabalu on Sunday (April 18) night are not a cause for concern, says geologist Dr Felix Tongkul. These small-magnitude earthquakes are quite common in this region, he said when contacted on Monday (April 19) over public concerns that a stronger earthquake might follow the two mild earthquakes.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department recorded the first earthquake at 11.10pm. It measured 2.8 on the Richter scale and occurred at a depth of 10km with an epicentre about 11km from Ranau.
The second quake was at 1.05am on Monday (April 19), and measured 2.7 on the Richter Scale.

Calling yourself “the dying town” may not sound like the best way of attracting visitors, but Civita has learned to make a living out of dying.
And it has resisted definitive death for so long that Italy has nominated it and the surrounding area of stark cliffs and valleys known as “badlands” to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
University of Arizona geologist digs her way to the top
UArizona geology professor receives career award By Shaley Sanders | March 3, 2021 at 6:39 PM MST - Updated March 3 at 6:39 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Dr. Isabel Barton said her passion for geology might as well be genetic.
âBoth of my grandfathers were geologists,â Barton said.
Just like some of the minerals she hunts for, finding women in this field is rare.
âI think as a percentage of the total mining workforce, women are between 10 to 20% nationally. It is still mostly a male dominated industry,â Barton said.
Now Barton is breaking through barriers on the ground and in the workforce where she is the only female faculty member in the department of mining and geological engineering at the University of Arizona.
