Gerik: A 3.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Temenggor, Gerik around midnight was felt by residents in several areas around Gerik, including Kampung Bagan Baru, Kampung Jong, and Kampung Jagor.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) reported that the weak earthquake occurred at 12.06 am at coordinates 5.5 degrees north and 101.3 degrees east. Several residents shared their experiences on Facebook in the 'Kami Orang Gerik Original' (K.O.G.O) group, describing the shaking of their beds, windows, and house structures during the tremor.

Kampung Bagan Baru resident Mas Zaizeli Ibrahim recounted becoming aware of the incident after his home's closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera captured a sound at 12.06 am. He also felt his bed and windows shaking, initially suspecting a ghost on the roof. He discovered all his neighbors outside, having felt the shaking too.

Meanwhile, Kampung Jagor resident Muhd Nafis described the tremor as feeling like something was moving beneath the ground. Kampung Jong resident Mahani Zahedin thought the noise was caused by something moving on her roof.

Another Kampung Jong resident, Zamzidah Mat Amin, felt the tremor just as she was about to sleep. She initially thought something had fallen onto her roof or window, describing a dizzying sensation as if everything was swaying. She realized she was not alone in feeling the tremor after hearing others discuss the earthquake the following morning.

A Bernama check of the K.O.G.O Facebook group revealed several other residents sharing their experiences of the tremor. Some mentioned hearing a noise before realizing an earthquake had occurred. MetMalaysia earlier said the tremor was felt around Gerik, with the epicenter located 9 kilometers northeast of Hulu Perak at a depth of 10 kilometers.
