On 25th February 2022, tremors were felt in several parts of Singapore. According to the National Environmental Agency (NEA), this was caused by a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in Northern Sumatra. The last report of tremors from the public was in 2017. As stated by the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS), "Singapore is situated outside an earthquake zone. However, large earthquakes in the nearby region may cause vibrations or tremors to be felt in Singapore."

Alvin reported, "I've had vertigo before so I thought I was having one, but then my colleague stopped typing and we looked at each other, and confirmed she also felt the building was shaking.”

In a Facebook post, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) stated that they had received several calls from members of the public about the tremors. The police commented: "There were no reports of injury or law and order incidents.” SPF then advised members of the public to remain calm. SPF added that the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and the Housing and Development Board (HDB) would like to assure the public that buildings in Singapore are designed to established building codes, and are "sufficiently robust" to withstand tremors caused by distant earthquakes.

"I was sitting in my classroom and felt swaying. I thought it was a sudden dizzy spell, but after three to four seconds, it was gone”, said Nurul, who was in the Parkway Parade office building at the time.
