Sabah quake: Hero guides face bleak future


Guides at Mount Kinabalu have been searching tirelessly for quake victims.

KUNDASANG: Even as they made the daily 7km trek up Mount Kinabalu to help in the search for the remaining victims of Friday’s earthquake, the mountain guides couldn’t help but worry about their future.

Veteran guides like Rahili Supilin anticipate a substantially longer period out of work though all mountain activities have been stopped for three weeks due to the severe damage of facilities there.
