Malaysia does not sit on the Ring of Fire, but it is not free of shaking either: the eastern Sabah seismic zone (the Lingkabau, Pitas and Kota Belud faults) is active and shook Mount Kinabalu in June 2015 (M6.0, 181 deaths on the climb), while large Sumatran quakes are often felt in the Klang Valley and Penang because soft ground amplifies the waves.
