KUALA LUMPUR: Tremors from the 4.1-magnitude quake that struck Segamat, Johor, at 6.13 am today were also felt in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and southern Pahang.

Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) director-general Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres (km), about five km west of Segamat.

The department will continue to monitor the situation closely, he said in a statement.

Earlier, the Johor government advised the public to stay away from unsafe structures and remain alert to instructions from the authorities following the weak earthquake.
