Tourism activities at Lake Kenyir, the largest man-made lake in Southeast Asia, continue as usual, despite the tremors felt in the area last Tuesday due to a 2.7 -magnitude earthquake.
A survey by Bernama to Pengkalan Gawi found business activities going on as usual with the arrival of tourists.
Lake Kenyir Tourism Association chairman Mohamad Raffee Abdul Wahab said he was glad that the earthquake was a weak one and did not affect tourism activities in the area.
"All the 27 speed boats and more than 40 boat houses registered with the association are operating as usual," he told Bernama Thursday.
He said there was no need for the people to be worried as the Meteorological Department had assured that there would be no more earthquake in the near future.
"It has happened before, more than 10 years ago," he added.

A boat house operator, Al Malik Fazli Musa, 42, said the earthquake incident had not affected booking for his boat houses.
"There is no need for the public to fear coming here. Do not believe in rumours and what is posted in the social media. We live here. We know the condition and it is safe," he added.
A food shop assistant, Nur Habibah Abdul Halim, 21, said business went on as usual.
"We were also open yesterday, although there were not many people yesterday as it was a working day," she added.
Meanwhile, Kampung Dura Village Development and Security chairman Kamarudin Mat Jusoh said the earthquake incident did leave some residents traumatised, especially those who had never felt or experience the situation.
"We hope the government can install a siren or detector to warn us of an earthquake so that we will not panic if it happens again," he added.
The earthquake, measuring 2.7 on the Richter scale, hit Lake Kenyir at 9.25 pm last Tuesday.
