KOTA KINABALU - The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) clarifies that it has not issued any tsunami warning or advisory at this time after the Malaysian National Tsunami Early Warning System (SAATNM) siren went off in Kota Belud, Sabah early this morning.

In a statement, MetMalaysia said that the activation of the SAATNM siren in the Imam Haji Mustapah Mosque, Kota Belud was likely due to technical glitches.

"...appropriate actions are being taken. MetMalaysia apologises for any confusion and inconvenience caused by this incident,” the statement said.
