MetMalaysia said the 24-hour continuous monitoring of seismic activity and earthquakes conducted by the department did not detect any earthquakes, as claimed in a video which went viral on social media recently.

Therefore, the public is advised not to panic about the viral video, but instead refer to authentic sources, it said in a statement today.
