The actions of some naked travelers at the mountain’s peak has sparked the polemics to the world community. According to Dusun community’s belief, those actions has pulled the sanctity of the mountain and would cause Aki’s anger ( the spirit of Kinabalu ) . The issue is supported by Ginsuan , a former mountain mule who is accused of being crazy as he’s often said about his vision of being able to foresee the collapse of the mountain in the near future. June 5, 2015 becomes a turning point that transforms the whole landscape. An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 on the Ricther scale has shaken the structure of the mountain. Donkey Ears and Tunku Abdul Rahman , the iconic vertex were also destroyed . Raymond,Nikki and Pitrus as well as the tourists go through a life or death phase when a large debris of rocks rolled down towards their path.

In addition, bad weather also inhabits helicopter flight’s to the top of the mountain. Biding with a group of mountain guide could not hold their patience. They are resolved to violate the safely protocols and rush to climbs as the rescue operation realized that the cold weather would kill all the victims trapped on the mountain if rescue operations were still delayed . The dilemma can only be witnessed by Ginsuan with tears. The rescue operation was finally carried out after the weather began to stabilize for helicopter flights to the summit of the mountain. Several teams from security agencies followed the climb of biding and his group. Nikki and the tourists are among the earliest surviving groups reaching the foot of the mountain.
