A strong aftershock measuring 5.2 hit Ranau in Sabah at 2:29 a.m.
The tremors rattled residents in Kota Kinabalu where some people in highrise buildings ran out of their home, fearing for their safety.
“I felt tremors in my house at 2:29 a.m. I thought a really big cat was running across the roof,” said a Kota Kinabalu resident.
The effect of the latest tremors in Ranau could not be immediately ascertained.
A Ranau resident said his family moved outdoor after tremors and were waiting to see what happened next.
