KOTA KINABALU: A special "breaker” to stop rockfalls on the problematic segment of the Mount Kinabalu trail similar to avalanche breakers used in the Swiss Alps will be built in a year’s time.

As Sabah prepares to mark the first anniversary of the deadly June 5 Mount Kinabalu earthquake on Monday, state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun said the breakers will ensure better safety for climbers.
