Malaysia’s iconic skyscrapers, including the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118, are built to international standards to withstand natural forces such as tremors.
Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) senior general manager for technology and business development, Ir Rofizlan Ahmad, said this was factored in despite Malaysia not being in a major earthquake zone.
The Petronas Twin Towers use a double-deck skybridge to channel forces during tremors and deep foundation piles for stability, while Merdeka 118 applies a modern outrigger structural system that connects the building’s core to its outer columns, helping it withstand strong winds and moderate tremors.
CIDB ensures compliance with construction standards and worker accreditation, while local authorities, engineers and building owners are responsible for monitoring and inspections.
Recent mild tremors in Segamat, Johor, have raised public concern about the resilience of the country’s buildings.
