It was nearly 3 years ago when I was at the peak, admiring the amazing creation of Allah s.w.t. One of the wonders of the world to me, amongst the many other wonders of the world that I have witnessed. The climb in the future would not be the same as what I have gone through before. The excitement would not be there anymore. There will be fear and extreme cautious to be undertaken by all. There would not be anymore comfort of not taking any food or drinks up to the peak as you would not know if you would be able to have your breakfast at Laban Rata since you would not know if you can descend. One thing for sure is that the Donkey Ears would not look the same anymore.
The Muslims always believe that things happen for a reason and the disaster could be a result of the disrespect and indecent acts by some visitors at the mountain top a few days before the quake. But whatever is the reason, I strongly believe no matter how advanced you are and whatever beliefs you hold, respecting each other's custom and culture is vital. If you have committed a sin, just apologise for the behaviour and offer to rectify the situation, even if you cannot bring the deads back to live.
Mount Kinabalu would always be part of my life since it was where I had proven to the world if you put that extra effort in your life, you will succeed no matter how ugly is the route. It has given me that self confidence that I had never had before. It has taught me that beautiful things are always located somewhere which is not easily accessed and that hard work is necessary to obtain them.
To all the MGs, you are always our superheroes, better than the imaginary Superman or Batman. Thank you for taking care of our heritage and making us proud of your unselfish acts. God blesses you all and protects Malaysia from any harm and destruction. Ameen
