Are you home country buildings earthquake tolerable?

sad to say that ours not! sigh... which give me a shrivel all the way to my spines... wat if that quake with 9.0 Ritcher Scale(coupled with tsunami that happened on 26/12/2004) or the most recent one that happened @ nia, one of the west islands at indonensia with 8.5 Ritcher Scale hit us? I tink either one is enough to make the whole KL city *flat*... so wat's next? learn fr lesson and re-build the whole city with quake resistance? hmmm... i guess not rite? but wat else can they(our quake eng'r) do apart fr re-bldg them? although, i havent been keep in touch with my civil eng knowlegde nor books but i tink there should be a way to counter all this, best is to prevent it from happening. can we just add some kind of seismic support structure underneath each bldg? esp our most loved and priced towers of all -> Petronas Twin Tower - which represent our msia pride and spirit of "Malaysia Boleh!" so if we can build such a structure, again with the "Malaysia Boleh!", i'm sure we can do sthg abt tis b4 sthg really serious happens... of course, i'm not hoping nor predicting it'll since msia is not sitting directly on the epi center but prevention is better than cure rite? ;-)
