On paper, the 6.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked Sabah on Feb 23 should have been a catastrophe. It marks what is likely the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Malaysia. Photo for illustration purposes only.

Earlier, Director-General of the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) Dr Mohd Hisham Mohd Anip said the earthquake, centred 49 km west of Kudat, posed no tsunami threat but was the strongest to hit the country in the past 11 years.

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake shook the coast of western Japan on Tuesday, the country's meteorological office said, with no tsunami warning issued.
