The maintenance of a tsunami buoy at Sipadan Island on Sabah’s east coast has been halted due to a fatal accident while the buoy was being serviced on board MV Pendamar, said the Malaysian Meteorological Department. The department said Lyng, 53, a specialist working with the buoy system for more than 30 years was one of the most experienced engineers in this field and had been involved with SAATNM programme since its implementation in 2005.

The buoy in question, Buoy 53046, had shown the sea floor rising dramatically, approximately 2300 feet within the course of a few days. This buoy rides on the very edge of the Indo-Australian Plate where the Sunda Plate is being pushed UNDER the Indo-Australian Plate. Sounds like a scenario for a sudden rise in sea level at that point.
