Multiple deformations at Bukit Cenering, Trengganu

it folded the rocks around NNW-axes, tilted to almost vertical positions earlier-formed NE-striking folds, created NW-lineations as crenulations, caused reverse faulting towards northeast and strike-slip faulting along existing and newly-formed faults in directions compatible with the compression direction. The older stress system is shown by overturned folds and NE-trending foliations, reverse faulting towards northwest and presently reoriented to east-striking foliations and thrust faults. The two tectonic events are probably correlatable with Permian to Early Triassic diastrophism (indicated by East Coast granite ages) and Late Triassic to Early Jurassic orogenesis that affected almost the entire Malay Peninsula
