Do Not Underestimate Malaysia's Smart Tunnel...

The RM1.6 billion mega project tunnel not only helps to prevent flood by allowing overflowing water to go through its tunnel, it is also able to withstand earthquakes. First, it is underground, therefore it will not take the full brunt of earthquakes. Second, its circular shape will help to distribute pressure more evenly.
