KOTA KINABALU, Nov 4 — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) clarified it had not issued any tsunami warning or advisory after the Malaysian National Tsunami Early Warning System (SAATNM) siren went off in Kota Belud, Sabah, early this morning.
In a statement, it said SAATNM’s siren activation in Masjid Imam Haji Mustapah, 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.
The public can obtain accurate information about earthquakes and tsunamis through MetMalaysia’s website at www.met.gov.my, the myCuaca app, MetMalaysia’s official social media sites, and the hotline at 1-300-221638.
