SINGAPORE: Three months after an earthquake struck Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, injuring and killing pupils from Tanjong Katong Primary School here, some of their parents are planning to go back to complete what their children set out to but could not do - reach the summit.

More than a dozen parents - including those of the victims and survivors - will attempt the feat on June 5 next year, the anniversary of the tragedy.
