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.

Second, its circular shape will help to distribute pressure more evenly.Source: Star Online Nation "Smart tunnel can withstand quakes"
