SINGAPORE: Residents in Katong, Whampoa and Bukit Batok reported feeling tremors Wednesday afternoon, following a 7.5-magnitude quake off Indonesia's Sumatra island.

Those who called the MediaCorp News hotline said it lasted about a minute.

A couple from St George's Road said they had felt tremors before, and Wednesday's was comparatively mild.

The last time Singaporeans felt tremors was on 4 January when a 6.3-magnitude quake rattled the western coast of Sumatra. - CNA/ac
