KENINGAU: Climbing to the summit of Gunung Trus Madi by 68 students of SMK Keningau Bingkor earlier this week, will almost certainly be recorded in the Malaysian Book of Records as the quickest climb made in less than 24 hours besides the attainment of having the largest number of climbers at one time. The inspiration for this achievement is a tribute to a long serving and dedicated principal.
“This success is for our principal, Tuan Hj. Sahumin Hj. Mohd Daud who will be going on compulsory retirement, said program coordinator, Saidil Mazlan Abdul Razak.
Sahumin will be going on compulsory retirement in 2011 after years of selfless dedicated service to the nation.
“We created this challenging situation as an expression of our commitment to pay tribute to a caring and dedicated person,” said Saidil.
Gunung Trus Madi, the second highest mountain in Malaysia, is 2,642 meters or 8,668 feet above sea level – the group of students of SMK Keningau Bingkor became the first in the country to reach the peak en masse and in less than 24 hours. The Management of Sabah Forestry Department has confirmed that it is the first climb of its kind in Malaysia.
“The climb by the group of students are very significant enough to be recorded in The Malaysian Book of Records,” said Saidil.
Saidil said, 7 buses and 4 four-wheel drive vehicles were used to transport the students, starting from SMK Bingkor to Kg. Kaingaran, Tambunan. The students were then divided into 16 groups and taken by four-wheel drive vehicles from Kg. Kaingaran to the Base Camp.
