RANAU - Tremors from the 3.7-magnitude earthquake which struck Kundasang, Sabah, at 9.28 am today, were not only felt by residents in the district, but also by climbers on Mount Kinabalu.

Mountain guide Joeythine Musin, 29, said he and a group of climbers were descending from the summit of the mountain when they felt the tremors for a few seconds.

Luckily, he said the earthquake was weak and the tremors were not followed by falling rocks.

"Yes, I was descending from the summit with several climbers and we felt the tremors, but there were no falling rocks,” he said when contacted through WhatsApp today.

Meanwhile, the head of Panabalan substation at Kinabalu Park, Julaimin Kamin said the situation at the Sayat-Sayat checkpoint and the Panabalan Complex at Mount Kinabalu, was totally under control after the quake.

"There are 104 climbers scheduled to scale the mountain today and 110 others did that yesterday,” he said.

A bundle item seller, Nordiana Zuhaidi, 34, said she was in her shop when she felt the tremors which lasted only a few seconds.
