Renowned Dutch geologist who has been researching on seismic activity around the region, Dr Gerry Man Dering said, "I'm curious by how there seems to be a pattern of earthquake hitting Singapore exactly once every four years, the last of which was in 2011 when Singapore held their last General Election, not that it has any link."

When interviewed, a Whampoa resident, Mr Reddy Zhun Beh Hao exclaimed proudly, "I am very well-prepared as I saw this earthquake coming since the last one that happened four years ago already."

In contrast, a traumatised resident who was there when the earthquake struck, Mr Tan Siao Gui said, "It all happened very quickly. The earthquake struck before I knew it. One moment I was staying in Joo Chiat, next moment WAM BAM BAM BOOMZ, I am at Marine Parade already. I am very scared."

At press time, Singaporeans from across the island are still recovering from the shock and exploring the new territories that they now belong to.
