KUALA LUMPUR: Despite leaky heart valves, Amanda Omeychua conquered Malaysia’s highest peak, Mount Kinabalu, while carrying her two-and-a-half-year-old son in a backpack.

During the two-day one-night climb up the 4,095m peak, Amanda, 30, took turns with her husband, Muhammad Hafizuddin Mustapa, 31, to carry Muhammad Noah Rizqullah, who weighs 25kg, in a backpack along with the necessary gear.
