Charity mission for Kalabakan 4x4 Club

KALABAKAN: Every year, the Borneo Safari International Off Road Challenge, involving four-wheel drive vehicles, used to be the most anticipated event among extreme sports enthusiasts.

However, due to the enforcement of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the programme fondly known as Borneo Safari, scheduled to be held in October, had to be postponed to prevent the spread of the virus.

But in a bid to fulfil its annual activities and show its concern for those affected by the pandemic, the Kalabakan 4x4 Club took the initiative to conduct a charity mission, including sending food assistance to the rural areas.

Club advisor Nasir Bacho, when met recently, said they assisted the Kalabakan District Office and Social Welfare Department to distribute 800 food baskets to residents affected by Covid-19.

Sabah revenue hits RM6.97 billion: Hajiji says GRS State Government may see full term

Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government continued its momentum in managing the economy in line with the commitment and spirit of the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) when it posted record high state revenue of RM6.973 billion last year.

“We sent food baskets to villages in Kalabakan, including to Kampung Serudong, where the road is uneven, and it is located in the forest area, making it difficult for light vehicles to pass through.

“The Kalabakan 4x4 Club is ready to assist if needed, and we do this voluntarily,” he said.

Nasir said that besides assisting the needy, the charity mission also provided double happiness to club members who get to satisfy their hunger for extreme activities.

With 10 years of experience participating in the Borneo Safari, he hopes to create the same challenge in Kalabakan in a bid to promote the district, thus improving the economy of the local community.

“After Covid-19 ends, we plan to organise an event in Kalabakan because it has an off road track that we can use. We did this once in Pasir Putih, Tawau and it was a success and was participated by extreme vehicle activity enthusiasts from Brunei, Indonesia, Labuan and Sarawak,” he said.

The Kalabakan 4x4 Club was established in 2018 and has 60 members, to date, with 35 modified extreme vehicles.
