Any tips to offer?

My aunt told me last time, it was Toa Payoh that was shaking

Strip foundations: The Simple and Traditional Method Strip foundations are a popular and cost-effective option for terrace houses in Singapore. 
This method involves digging a trench and laying concrete strips along the length of the house, providing a solid base for the walls and floors.

As long as don't give contracts to AT coy to build, then should still be okay lah.

Hopefully it won't happen here since prices are skyrocketed obscenely compare to the neighboring countries having earthquakes.
Ppl need to wakeup from their slumber

HDB flats are Highly Dangerous Buildings because the govt does not want to spend so much money on more expensive materials since they reason that S'pore won't ever experience an earthquake.

how not to collapse? we can learn from the trees. look at photo that most trees are intact. while the building next to it has collapse. what is it that make the tree stand tall and ok ok?
