2015 Mount Kinabalu quake helped push for better management, greater safety and welfare of guides

KOTA KINABALU: Six years ago, Mount Kinabalu was struck by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that caused loss of lives and property. Yet there is a silver lining to that tragic event, says former Sabah Parks director Dr Jamili Nais.

He said the incident pushed for better management of the facilities and safety measures as well as mountain guides retrained and getting better allowances.
