Panggilan Kinabalu Charity Concert June 25, 2015






 1. I attended the Charity Concert held at the HGH Hall Sentul,Kuala Lumpur on June 25, 2015.
It was organised by the Rotary Club (RC) of One Utama and RC of Bukit Bintang with the objectives of recognising the heroism of the guides of Mt Kinabalu of the June 5 Earthquake Disaster of 5.9 on the Righter scale, to collect donations to assist them and at the same time to demonstrate unity and harmony of all Malaysians in time of facing challenges.  I was invited by Mr. Ong Hock Siew, the key person in organising the Concert, to assist as he knows that Mt. Kinabalu and Sabah is close to my heart.  It was Hock Siew who was instrumental in getting me up the summit in October 1989 and had climbed it 15 times since then.  The programme  for the evening was as follows:
