IT was a memorable day for Malaysia’s Mount Everest heroes – Datuk M. Magendran and Datuk N. Mohanadas – as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of their feat.

The Malaysian Indian Sports and Cultural Foundation (MISCF) and Youth and Sports Ministry organised the “Two decades of first Malaysians on Everest” event to honour Magendran, Mohanadas and the support crew.
