Mhd Rizuan Kauhinin, a Sabahan mountain guide, made social media headlines when he braved falling rocks and rough terrain to carry a Singaporean student to safety following the Mt Kinabalu earthquake last weekend.

An image of the boy on his back went viral after photographs of the guides at work in the rescue effort were shared online.

Mr Rizuan hopes to meet the boy he rescued. “If there is a chance, I’d like to meet him again, as I can’t bear to see him like this,” said the 25-year-old, who had been busy with the search-and-rescue operations.

“I don’t remember what he looks like, as there was blood on his face.”

Some of the guides have also lost their lives during the earthquake, but according to Mr Rizuan, the surviving ones also the face the grim prospect of losing their livelihood.

Malaysia’s The Star interviewed Mr Rizuan following his heroic effort – which the guide quietly brushed aside as insignificant. Watch it below.

连锁企业Home-fix 将在本周末关闭最后一家店面

曾称霸新加坡众多购物中心的居家修缮连锁企业Home-fix,将在本周末关闭最后一家店面。 据《商业时报》报导,目前该公司负债约1千980万元,已被置于临时司法管理之下。尽管公司进行债务重组,但其网站仍将持续运营。 Home-Fix一直以“自己动手做家具”为名号打响名堂,但近年来因实际业务规模缩小,因此试图在网路上拓展服务和工作坊。然而,由于转型来得太晚,也随之无法跟上时代的进步。 由于电子商务平台的快速发展与邻里商店的低价商品,为民众提供了实惠方便的物品,取代了Home-Fix的价值,因此Home-Fix除了面临高昂的商场租金,还有来自其他商家的低价竞争,以及经济低靡等各项挑战,也让Home-Fix业务缩小。 Home-Fix创办人兼董事经理55岁刘章祺对债权人表示,公司的财务困境来自店面的亏损,与无法和其他电子商务商家竞争。此外,大世界城与汤申大厦也打击了Home-fix 的两处最高销售商店。 目前两家商店已关闭,而位于勘宝坊以及诺维娜广场的分店也在今年早前被收回。如今根据网上的资料显示,仅剩东凌坊购物中心分店与Tampines One购物中心购物中心分店。 然而,据《海峡时报》记者前往探访,发现东凌坊购物中心分店昨日开始已关闭店面,而Tampines One分店则剩下一些商品在货架上。 公司昨天关闭东凌坊购物中心的店面,今天将与Tampines One的业主商谈,几天后就关闭仅剩的店面。而位于大成区的办公室也基本上空无一人,到处散落纸箱。…
