In tribute video, Sabah mountain guides say gambled on descent when rescue didn’t come
“Maybe there were too much procedure or SOP that held them back from doing what they felt was best. I’m so very disappointed that procedures preceded human lives,” he said.
Another guide, Christopher Peter Ebi, said that descending was their priority as the dangers of staying up in the open summit without proper supplies were far greater than the trek down.
…
A Malaysian-born Australian trekker who was among the 105 tourist climbers stranded at the mountain’s summit on Friday lashed out at Malaysia’s emergency response, calling it a “farce”.
In an interview with Australia’s ABC News, Vee Jin Dumlao alleged of shambolic organisation by local rescuers, whom she said idled and ate food meant for victims while the native guides did most of the rescuing.
She also claimed that some of those who died might have been saved if the rescue helicopters had been sent when weather cleared up on Friday evening.

#SabahQuake: Mountain guides express concern for future after park closed for 3 weeks http://tdy.sg/1IH6E6E
KOTA KINABALU — He was able to take home at least RM900 (S$320) every month as a mountain guide to support his family of six.
But with Kinabalu Park closed for three weeks in the aftermath of last Friday’s earthquake, Mr Jeniey Sius is worried about making ends meet.
Yesterday Malaysia’s Minister of Communication and Multimedia Ahmad Shabery Cheek handed RM50,000 to the Kinabalu Mountain Guides Association chairman Richard Soibi for its 250 mountain guides. The funds were raised from a donation drive for the mountain guides. The Sabah authorities have also been given RM10 million for rehabilitation works.
However, guides and their families TODAY spoke to said it was unclear how or when the funds would be disbursed, and they are concerned about meeting daily expenses.

#SabahQuake: MOE clarifies that TKPS team was on simpler route http://tdy.sg/1IH2DiN
The Ministry of Education (MOE) clarified yesterday that the Tanjong Katong Primary School (TKPS) team was on a simpler route on Mount Kinabalu when the earthquake struck.
Compared with the regular Via Ferrata route, where the elevation of the starting point is 3,520m, the pupils, teachers and their guides began on a route at an elevation of 3,411m, stated the MOE.
Mountain Torq, which manages the Via Ferrata, added that this was also a shorter route — 281m instead of the original route, which is 430m long.
An MOE spokesperson said: “This is a less steep route compared to the full Walk the Torq route.” She confirmed that the TKPS teams have been using the simplified route since 2010.

#SabahQuake: Guide with 1,000 climbs called upon to rescue geologists on Mt Kinabalu http://tdy.sg/1S1o8fC

KUALA LUMPUR — One of Mount Kinabalu’s most experienced mountain guides was today (June 9) called upon to “rescue” two geologists stranded 4km up on the mountain that is still being shaken by minor aftershocks.
The Sabah Geology Department was forced to call on Mr Jahinin Waimi, who reputedly had made 1,000 climbs in an 11-year career, to bring the geologists down after the helicopter that had airlifted them up in the morning could not evacuate them this afternoon due to rain and low clouds enveloping the mountain.
A small aftershock was reportedly felt at Laban Rata – 6.3km up the mountain – at 10.40am while another small jolt at 1.42pm sent female staff scurrying out of the Sabah national park headquarters.
Mr Jahinin was an obvious pick as he was one of 90 guides the park mustered last Friday to help bring down some 103 climbers that were left stranded on the mountain.
They had set out a temporary paths over the ones destroyed in the quake for rescuers.

KOTA BELUD (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) – Just when they finally had the chance to be a family again, tragedy struck. “Hero mountain guide” Robbi Sapinggi, 31, who lost his life saving a tourist during an earthquake at Sabah’s Mount Kinabalu last Friday, had been separated from his wife Reena Joshi, 32, for a few months after their wedding in September because she had to return to England unexpectedly. Medical student Ms Joshi said she first met Mr Sapinggi more than seven years ago while she was travelling in Sabah and happened to pass through his village of Kampung Kiau Nuluh in Kota Belud. He and his father were the tour guides when she and her group went up Mount Kinabalu.

Twenty more quake monitoring devices installed nationwide
PETALING JAYA: An additional 20 earthquake monitoring devices – including seven more for Sabah – are being installed nationwide, says Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Dr Ewon Ebin. “These new devices are expected to be fully operational by the end of this year, bringing the total of such devices in the country to 64,” he said in a press statement. At present, there are 44 such devices in the country, eight of which are in Sabah. The Meteorological Department, he said, is also developing a map tremors application (Shakesmap) to further enhance the study of seismic information in Malaysia. … In Ranau, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the government was considering setting up an earthquake monitoring centre. He said such a centre is especially necessary in Sabah which does not have any such facility to track such natural disasters. http://www.thesundaily.my/news/145142 —

Amanda Peter said local guides told her group of 21 climbers that a helicopter would pick them up, but when it did not, they decided to walk after a frustrating nine-hour wait. “There were risks of us dying up there of cold overnight,” said the 23-year-old Sabah native. “The guide said we either die of waiting or we die trying. So we all chose to try walking down ourselves.” She said she saw two bodies lying on a flat rock on the way down. “It really affected me as it could have been me. I was lucky to be given a chance to live,” she said. She said that the descent was “very risky and we were all starving, dehydrated and tired but at least we tried saving ourselves.” http://www.todayonline.com/world/malaysian-climber-lucky-be-alive —

#SabahQuake: What happened on Friday morning based on accounts from students, teachers http://tdy.sg/1GienFW
TODAY …
In a briefing today, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said based on accounts from the students and teachers on the trip, 24 students and eight teachers began their trek at around 4.30am to 5.30am. Five students stayed behind at the rest hut as they were feeling ill. The students on the trek were divided into five groups. Three groups were already attempting a 430m route on the Via Ferrata known as the Walk The Torq route at about 7am when the earthquake occurred at 7.15am. The remaining two groups were waiting for their turn. MOE officials said it is believed that the deceased students, teacher and guide were mainly those from the three groups that had started on the route. The students in the remaining two groups huddled as teachers tried to shield the students when the earthquake happened. http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/sabah-quake-what-happened-friday-morning —

PETALING JAYA, June 7 — Robbi Sapinggi will go down in local history as the hero of the devastating June 5 earthquake after he placed the safety of the climber he was accompanying before his own despite being critically injured by falling rocks. Even in his dying moments, his only thoughts were for the climber whom he advised to descend Mount Kinabalu as fast as possible. The 31-year-old, who was bleeding profusely, had also indicated to the person that he wanted to help others who might be on their way down the steep slope. An Amazing Borneo employee, Lynn Tiang, who related Sapinggi’s last moments after hearing accounts from witnesses, said the veteran guide and the climber were well on their way down when the earthquake struck and he was hit by falling rocks. “Despite being hit, he instructed the climber to descend first, prioritising the person’s safety before his,” she added.

At least eight of them are uncontactable, along with two teachers, Mr James Ho, a parent of one of the students said. This was later confirmed by the Education Ministry. The 12-year-old students and their teachers were understood to have departed Mount Kinabalu on Wednesday for a leadership programme and were expected to return on Monday afternoon. Anxious parents were seen rushing into the school for a meeting with teachers on Friday afternoon. One woman said her daughter was injured and is “on the way to hospital”. Mr Ho told Channel NewsAsia that his 12-year-old daughter Rachel is one of eight students stranded at the via Ferrata route on Mount Kinabalu. He said he has received no news about their well-being. “This happened in the morning and it’s been more than 12 hours. And the frustrating thing is we are not getting any updates on the rescue operations,” he said. Another 19 students from the school have returned to safety, Mr Ho added, and five of them and one teacher suffered minor injuries. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/singapore-primary-school/1895434.html?cid=TWTcna …

Mt Kinabalu guide fearing the worst for climbers http://www.nst.com.my/node/87076 #SabahQuake
KUNDASANG: Mountain guide Hajiris Solumin would not be surprised if there were casualties in the earthquake that shook Mount Kinabalu. “I saw boulders as big as a house falling in front of me just as I was about to start my activity with seven guests, ” said the via ferrata guide, an activity where climbers get to experience walking on the side of the mountain using special harnesses. “I quickly told my guest to turn back to the trail and we walked down. Some of my colleagues had started earlier with their guests and I don’t know where they are now, ” he said fearing the worst for his friends and their guests. Hajiris said the climb down the summit trail was hard because a lot of the steps were badly damaged and trails collapsed. “It will not be easy to bring down those who are still up there.”

Mount Kinabalu may be “angry” about nudists, say locals: http://bit.ly/1MrMpIA #SabahTremor
PETALING JAYA: The 7.17am earthquake in Ranau may have been caused by aki (mountain protectors) angered over tourists who stripped and urinated at Mount Kinabalu. While most on Twitter said they were just “waiting” for people to blame the 6-magnitude earthquake on the disrespect shown to the sacred site, some were not convinced that there was no link between the two incidents. A Sabahan web developer, who declined to be named, half-jested that the recent incident of naked, urinating tourists at the sacred site made “mountain spirits mad”. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/06/05/Sabah-quake-angered-by-tourists/ —

For true Believers and Disciples of Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ), today’s earthquake shaking Sabah must need come to pass for such happening is already fore-warned by our Master Yahshua Ha-Mashiach. Believers and unbelievers alike should better read Bible prophecy recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (New Testament) Chapter 24. Earthquake such as experienced in Sabah today is a type of ‘birth pangs’ – signs of Time that Yahshua Ha-Mashiach is SOON coming again the 2nd. time to earth. This time – to judge the world and to bring to an end mankind rebellion against Yahwah’s (God) Torah (laws/commandments/ instructions). Yahshua Ha-Mashiach fore-warned that in THAT DAY – great Tribulation will come about where even mountains will be thrown down – can anyone imagine that ? How terrible will that be? A minor tremor as we had today is shocking enough for us – some people were probably screaming and trembling in fear already when they see their picture frames cracking, wardrobes wobbling and tumbling down ! Can anyone imagine the scenario when the entire EARTH/Universe really shake and spin (like in a washing machine) upon the arrival of the SON of the MOST HIGH Yahwah (God) from the Heaven’s above to earth along with His Hosts of Angels?! In that day, the whole earth/universe have to face the great WRATH of Yahwah. Earthquake such as what we experienced today should be taken as warning sign that the END Time is coming SOON. The Most High Creator Yahwah Elohim have tolerated long enough mankind revolting sinfulness, arrogance and stupidity. But instead of repenting of our sinfulness, what do mankind do ?- lets continue to sin some more and worst; mankind say lets do more evil wickedness here on earth; mankind take pride in doing NUDITY; the wicked say lets murder, rob, rape, steal, fornicate; do bribery and corruption; worship – false gods, idols; money, filmstars (Hollywood/Bollywood, etc), rockstars (idol/Akedemi Fantasia etc), celebrities, etc. instead of directing worship to the one TRUE (God) Yahwah Elohim through his ONE and only begotten SON Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Mankind say, there is NO God (Yahwah), He cannot see! He does not hold us to account for our sinful ways! There is NO Heaven or Hell ! See – we have been doing all these sins and we are OK; prospering !! One day, Yahwah Elohim will utter his Word of wrath and the earth shake and tremble such as a few seconds of earthquake like we felt today. And what happens – we come “to nought” ! We suddenly see we are “naked”; we see our “nothingness” and we shriveled when we face the Act of God (Yahwah), don’t we?! We sinful mankind by our own effort/works have NO WAY to escape the wrath of Yahwah (God). But Our Master Yahshua Ha-Mashiach has left us with a COVENANT/promise that those who believe in Him/Call on His Name and do His Torah (Commandments) shall be SAVED (See Bible: Romans Chapter 10) and will receive the gift of Life Eternal through the blood sacrifice on the Cross by Yahshua Ha-Mashiach. For those who trust in their own righteousness/goodness/works are ‘filthy rags’ in Yahwah’s (God) sight (see Bible: Isaiah, Chapter 64). But those who humble themselves before Yahwah and repentant of their sinfulness – their knees bent and bowing and their lips confessing Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ) as their Master, Saviour and Redeemer and ask to be sprinkled/covered with the BLOOD of Yahshua Ha-Maschiach (The Lamb of Yahwah) shall be justified and sanctified – declared righteous/’NOT GUILTY” before His Throne of Judgement because the Blood of the SINLESS Son of Yahwah (God), Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ) (who came to Earth and became Man) cleanses them from ALL Sins, iniquity, transgressions, unrighteousness.(See Bible: 1st John/ Hebrews, Chapters 9-13/ 1st Peter). So, for those who want to pitch their tent with, and want to be the Children of Elohim (God) and enter into Eternal life with Yahwah Elohim – Believe in the promised Salvation through the Blood of the Son of Yahwah (God) – that is Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ) the only Name given under Heavens BY WHOM we may be saved (NO other). (See Bible: Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 4). Only true Believers and Disciples of Yahshua Ha-Mashiach shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. The Dead shall be resurrected from the dead and live again in incorruptible body and shall see Yahwah and Master Yahshua Ha-Mashiach as they really are for the Children of Elohim (God) shall be co-heirs with Yahshua Ha-Mashiach in the Kingdom of Heaven. Isn’t that Good News (Gospel of Yahshua Ha-Mashiach)? But don’t just read what I witness here. Read the WORD of Yahwah Elohim in the BIBLE ( otherwise called OLD Testament AND the New Testament) – the Words of Yahwah Elohim write history before the foundation of the Earth for He is ALPHA and OMEGA (the Beginning and the End) (See Bible: Revelation). Who is mankind to think that we can dismiss Yahwah’s (God) Words and NOT read it ?? If we are going to face the Ultimate Judge (Yahshua Ha-Mashiach) in the Day of Judgement – should we not better know His Laws, Commandments, Instructions and abide and obey them while we are still breathing/alive so that we can, and know how to escape the “Hell sentence” and be declared “Not Guilty – Redeemed/Paid in Full by the Blood of Yahshua Ha-Mashiach” – “Pass; Advanced to Go to Heaven” (Not Hell’s Jail) ?! I could go ON and ON without End to speak about the Kingdom of Heaven v. Kingdom of Ha Satan – but let me just appeal to the readers’ body, soul and spirit consciousness – Yahwah Elohim (God) gave mankind the freewill to choose Light or Darkness; to be Yahwah Elohim’s children or Children of Ha Satan. The Choice is Yours. Heaven or Hell. Take your pick.!!!! Master Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ) said: “Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Yahwah (God), believe also in Me..” ….”Peace I leave with You, my Peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” …..”And now I have told you BEFORE it come to pass, that when it is come to pass, ye might BELIEVE….”. (See Bible: Gospel of John – Chapter 14 – 17). Come Yahshua Ha-Mashiach Come! King of Kings; Lord of Lords! Thy Kingdom come! Maranatha 3x. Amein 3x.. Halleluyah 3x! SHALOM. and Receive Yahwah Elohim’s grace, mercy and (free) Gift of Eternal life/Salvation through the Death and Resurrection and Redemption by the Blood shed on the Cross of Master/Adonai Yahshua Ha-Mashiach. What have you to loose??!! It is a FREE GIFT from Yahwah Elohim El Shaddai (Most High)!!! So, REPENT of all your Sins and Humble yourself before Yahwah Elohim and BE SAVED!! I Believe and I surrender all – body, soul and spirit – to my Creator Master of the Universe who created us from dust to dust!!. He alone breath His Ruach ( spirit) that give us Life. And life is in the Blood. And only the Blood of the SON of Yahwah, Yahshua Ha-Mashiach who is SINLESS can give us LIFE (NO one else)!! For He alone has defeated death and death has no sting by His death and resurrection. and ascension to Heaven. And right now, He is sitting enthroned in Heaven and will come again to Earth the 2nd.time as he promised and his promise is TRUE. His true Believers and disciples are eagerly awaiting for His Second Coming. How glorious will that scene be for believers/disciples? But not so for non-believers! He alone has the Keys of Hell and of death. (See Revelation, Chapter 1). Ha Satan, the accuser can find nothing in Him, for he Has NO Sin; the only Man who has NO sin! Every one else (the whole of mankind from Adam and Eve) sinned and fall short of the glory of Yahwah (God). The only Saviour, Redeemer of mankind sins acceptable to Yahwah is one who is WITHOUT Sin, Yahshua Ha-Mashiach (Jesus Christ). So, Choose Life not Death! Amein 3x. I told you…. I can go ON and ON …… Ba-bye. Full stop!
