Agnes, count me in. I may not be experience enough to become volunteer guide, but am sure there are other ways I can contribute as well.

Chan : ya, in any way, thanks.
Johnie : Oh, that' s far, but yr kind thoughts is already a moral boost.
Nor : betul betul scary kalau that someone that fall is a friend, i can understand when you said that, it is scary.
Velan: let's do something to inform others in a more effective way. In the past, what we did i think contribute in some ways to the trekking community who went up. but it is not enuf, because there are sobatuer up there also.

facebook is just great, imagine without it , we would have spend endless sms, emails, or phone call to get this done and may be some important messages & feedback is lost along the way.

today is a great day & i love facebook.

thanks for all the contribution, towards bukit tabur, for the trekking community.

great friends are made here.

I have a suggestion, please feedback
we divide each task into subgroup to take care of different things

Subgroup 1) photographs & videos to depict the accident spot/how to best climb a particular place. ( Chan Mun Heng ( leader), Paktam Abekecik, Siaw Ching, Jake Leong for the time being, if you would like to contribute, Please check with Chan, as he organises this team.

Subgroup 2) Trail Mapping, anyone with knowledge using technology to come out with one

Update : ( 11.06 am september 14, 2011 : Noor Zana responded to help)

subgroup 3) calling for volunteers to form some kind of guide, may be for the time being, some can lead on thursday, who go up sat can lead on saturday and who go up sunday can help on sunday until a team of volunteers is identified. Who can lead this group ?

Subgroup 4) Putting up the structures, or danger string at the first rope or other dangerous spot, Vince Khor & his group of trekker already doing something along this line (leader : Vince/Tai, kathy mui, kim won tai, jenny lee, n his gang will fall under this)

subgroup 5) Fund raising : To support Subgroup 4, ( they are already in the process to get the plan and drawing on the structures, Putting up the structures, permanent notices will need some kind of funding) siapa can lead ?

subgroup 6 : apa apa yang relevant

Sub group 6) Not forgeting : we must get some kind of backing from the authority so that the work can be established, kalau tidak, today you put up, next day they said, you buat tanpa approval..........hah !!!! susah susah get it done, kena take down pasal takde approval.


Ok, as this is voluntary work, do get yourself involved according to your liking & interest and enjoy.

All the persons mentioned above, it is just suggestion, you can change to any other group and work with anyone to your liking & contribute from there.

any other inputs, please add on.

thanks
