Can't find news report yet but found one from Singapore which had tremors caused by this big quake.

They felt it in Singapore,
SINGAPORE : Tremors were felt by some residents living in high-rise blocks around the island on Sunday.

Several residents living on the higher floors of blocks in Marine Parade and Kelantan Lane said they felt the tremors at about 10.30pm.
The Singapore police said the tremors were caused by an earthquake in Sumatra, Indonesia, measuring between 6 and 7.5 on the Richter scale.

The site neic.usgs.gov... indicates that the eartquake was 574.9 Kms deep, so the magnitude could be the magnitude at that depht, not at the surface.
