Mount Kinabalu, which stands at 4,095m (13,435ft), is a draw for tourists
More than 130 people were rescued or escaped. Many had to make their own way down with the help of tour guides and park rangers.
The US Geological Survey said the quake happened at around 07:15 local time (23:15 GMT) on Friday, at a depth of 10km (32,800ft). The epicentre was 54km (33 miles) from Mount Kinabalu, which stands at 4,095m (13,435ft).
The tremor was so powerful it also snapped off one of Mount Kinabalu's "Donkey's Ear" rock formations.
It also damaged roads and buildings, including schools and a hospital on Sabah's west coast, but there were no reports of casualties.

Climbing Mt Kinabalu
Climbing up and down Mt Kinabalu takes on average two days and one night. There are two trails - the Summit trail and the more advanced Mesilau trail
The Summit trail begins at Timpohon Gate (1,800m; 5,906 ft)
It takes about 6-8 hours to reach Laban Rata (3,273m; 10,738 ft) where climbers rest for a few hours
They usually depart for the summit at 02:00, reaching it 4-5 hours later before descending the mountain
