Most of the condominiums and high-rise buildings in Malaysia, completed or under construction, are not built to withstand such shocks. So, it's really no surprise to see cracks in my condo unit.

Melaka near to Indonesia that why.... Ya i think malaysia need to have those high-rise buildings standby for the future shocks that i believe will happen agains...

You're quite right. Malaysians generally do not think that earthquake will affect this region...until the big one in Sumatra last Dec.

Yup, they should. You never know how bad the next one will be.

But I think by the time they get it gazetted as the law, lots of condominiums would have been built.

I certainly hope there will be no more earthquakes (although they did predict a big one coming soon

).

Now that you mention it... there's leaking actually, from the pipes in the walls.

In the recent months, we started noticing the paint on the walls "bubbling".

It's like water was leaking from inside the walls and causing the paint to expand outwards like tiny balloons. The walls now look like they have a really bad case of acne.

Here are some pictures of the cracks and water damage.

Not very good shots, I'm afraid. It's not easy to show how far they extend and yet show the details.

Picture 1 : Crack in the kitchen ceiling. About 6-7 feet (2-2.5m) long.

Picture 2 : Crack in my bedroom ceiling. About 5.5 feet (1.8m) long.

Picture 3 : Water damage to one of the walls.
