One of the BEST Waterfall Hunter in Malaysia. In Our Loving Memory - HARRY NIAN HOI CHONG 18 May 1962 - August 2012

Today we have lost a very special person. A person who is gifted so much in exploring the nature, a person who has very good memory of trails, a helpful, wonderful person. He is also one of the people in Malaysia who has been to countless waterfalls and exploring into new waterfall on Solo expedition or sometimes with his partner in crime Lim Siang Hui.

Harry was one of our committee in the past. I personally got to know Harry about 4 years ago during our first Waterfall clean up in Kanching. Since then, he followed and leaded many of Waterfall Survivors trips till he left Waterfall Survivors in 2010 to pursue his own exploration.

Harry has brought so much laughter, fun and excitements to all the members of Waterfall Survivors during his voluntary service with us.

I have not met Harry for a year plus till last 11th August during the departure for Jerangkang trip which he joined WS. I still remember that morning he was as usual, with his mouth full stuffed with the Mcd's Breakfast Muffin and gave me a big hug when we met. He told me he will continue to Terengganu after the 2days 1night with WS in Jerangkang and will be exploring some waterfalls in Terengganu Region for 3 weeks.

I told him to come back with more new falls for us to explore and wished all the best in the 3 weeks exploration.


I received the news today that Harry have left us. He was last contacted last Friday 17th August with Siang Hui. And also gave Siang Hui a waterfall coordinate. Then after there was no news from him.

Harry was found this morning 25th August after more than a week, somewhere nearby the last coordinate that he gave Siang Hui.

It is a shocking news to all of us. To everyone of us that knew him.

I couldn't imagine that 11th August was the last time I get to hug Harry and see his laughter and smile. If we ever knew that he will never return this time, I guess none of us will ever let him go on this Solo Expedition to Terengganu. 

Harry, we will never forget all the laughter, fun and excitements and all your stories that you've shared with us in the past.

We will always miss you. Please look after all of the waterfall lovers and hunters from heaven above.

REST IN PEACE HARRY, THE MASTER OF WATERFALLS OF MALAYSIA.

拯救瀑布环保组织办活动 唤醒民众保护环境醒觉

拯救瀑布环保组织办活动 唤醒民众保护环境醒觉
SEE HUA DAILY




本报亚庇廿日讯)随着环保工作已到了刻不容缓地步,近日许多环保运动都大搞噱头,以吸引更多人瞩目。

最近,就有一班环保自愿人士在市中心一带高举「若支持反垃圾虫,就来个拥抱或鸣笛」的牌匾,以唤醒民众保护环境的醒觉。

这组由来自大马「拯救瀑布环保组织」叶慧丽率领的自愿团,今天就来到了本市地标之一,即加雅街周日市场高举「支持反垃圾虫,就来个拥抱或鸣笛」的牌匾,吸引不少游客和市民响应和支持。

叶氏接受本报记者访问时表示,上述自愿团于本周五开始,在亚庇亚庇广场展开这项觉醒运动,并获得不俗回响。

她说,自己会发起这运动的原因,是之前在「拯救瀑布环保组织」时,曾多次到指定瀑布展开清理运动,但过了一星期,垃圾还是卷土重来。

因此,她认为,环保工作若只是单方面付出是不会长久,决定以全新的形式,即以近距离接触的方式,宣传和宣扬保护环境。

她续称,其自愿团之所以以「支持反垃圾虫,就来个拥抱或鸣笛」作为噱头,是因现今时代随着岁月的洗礼,已渐渐丧失人情。

所以,她希望透过拥抱或双方互动(鸣笛)的方式,能够借此散播爱和关怀的讯息。

她补充说,倘若这项觉醒运动能够获得大众热烈响应和支持,不排除会延长进行至星期二。

她强烈要求大众能够为下一代着想。她说:「大家会在政治上要求改变,但保护环境如此简单的动作都做不到,改变从何谈起?」

另外,叶氏也期望这样的环保运动,能够得到市长和政府的援助,以能将环保资讯散播至各个角落。
