On the 23th May 1997, two Malaysians, M.MAGENDREN and N.MOHANDAS made Malaysia proud by conquering the world highest peak which is 8848 meters above sea level. They were the FIRST MALAYSIAN TO CONQUER MOUNT EVEREST. It took 42 years since Everest was first conquered by man... 15 years of experience of mount climbing and vigorous training programmes before they are fit to conquer mount Everest.
Many mountaineers had died trying to reach this highest peak in the world. over 150 people had died. the odds are 1 to 6 who died climbing this mountain. Yet these statistics did not stop our heroes. On May 22, 11pm our heroes left camp 4 for their final destination. It took them 13hours to reach the summit.It was -30°C out there with 80km/h cold wind blowing on them. They had to go through steep terrains and the path is littered with dead bodies. At one point our heroes needed to crawl to the peak due to extreme strong wind.
Reaching at the top they proudly planted our Jalur Gemilang and shouted into the wind.
Thank God! Thank God!' was the first thing gushed out from M.Magedren mouth. The sacred mantra Aum Namah Shivaya was in his mind too. Both of them prayed when they reach the summit and celebrated their victory.
I personally believe these great heroes should be given a special award for their incredible achievements. They have prove the Malaysia Boleh spirit. They have made Malaysia proud.. May these names stay in our Malaysian hearts forever.
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!
