Further Investigation On Explosion In Ipoh Handed Over To Police- Saarani
IPOH, June 27 (Bernama) -- The state government has handed over investigation into the explosion and tremor incident that occurred on June 18 to the police, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad. He said that so far, initial investigations have been conducted but have not found any specific cause or evidence that can be linked to the incident. "The investigation is continuing, but has not been found anything specific so we cannot comment further... and (now) the police are conducting the investigation because it is related to state security. "There is only one agency (conducting the investigation), which is the police. "What the police get is what will be reported to the state," he said when met after officiating the 2025 International Culinary Competition at Bulatan Azlan Shah today. He said the investigation would continue until the cause of the incident was found because it was the second time in Perak, and similar incidents also occurred in Selangor. Meanwhile, Perak Minerals and Geosciences Department (JMG) director, Nizarulikram Abdul Rahim, in a statement today, said according to his research, mysterious explosions have been reported all over the world for a long time without a definite explanation. "This sound is described from the sky with a moderate to strong explosion, and sometimes shakes windows and walls of buildings. "Mysterious explosions in Ipoh have occurred in 2012, 2018, 2024 and most recently on June 18, 2025 at about 10:30 am and have been determined not to be the result of quarrying activities, bomb tests or sonic booms from jet aircraft," according to the statement. He said initial studies by the Perak JMG showed that the area where the public heard the explosion was within the same range, from Chemor, Klebang, Meru in the north to around Tambun and Gunung Rapat, in the south.

Perak Minerals and Geoscience Dept rule out quarry blasting behind Ipoh tremors, explosive sounds
IPOH, June 18 — The Perak Department of Minerals and Geoscience Malaysia (JMG) has confirmed that the explosion sound and tremor reported around 10.30am today were not caused by quarry blasting, Bernama reported this afternoon. JMG director Nizarulikram Abdul Rahim said quarry blasting is only allowed from 12pm to 5pm, Monday to Friday. 'Checks by JMG Perak found that no quarry blasting took place at that time. Blasting activities outside the approved hours are not permitted,' he was quoted as saying. Earlier today, Ipoh District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said police were looking into public complaints about the explosion sound and tremor felt in Ipoh this morning. In a similar case on October 21 last year, a strong tremor was felt in several parts of the city — including Tasek, Perak Stadium, Meru, Falim, Manjoi, Chemor, and Sungai Siput — at about 11am, followed by a loud explosion. Last year's case remains unexplained by the authorities.
