OTHER
OFFICIAL PARTICIPATED AND ADVENTURE PROGAM:
Adventure
Group Tour Round The Penang Island:-
Prior to other achieving Malaysia Book
Record event in the year of 15th. September, 2007, I had also
participated in a group tour riding event whereby as solo I rode while standing
on a Honda Gold Wing 1500 cc super touring cruiser motorcycle organized by
Penang State Bikers Week to tour round the island. I took the opportunity to
try out riding while standing as to set an official time after several hours of
meticulous trail runs preparing for the major record achieving event. I did the
standing ride completing the tour in forty five (45) minutes and came first
amongst the group of 500 and more big bikers. It was well appreciated and
congratulated by the organizers and it was a blessing for me to perform other
forth coming record breaking task.
Merdeka Expedition Adventure Group Tour – Standing Alone And Riding Round Peninsular Malaysia Including Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Kalimantan Borneo
In this group tour which started/began
on 15th. August, 2006 and which continued for 20 days, I again
participated as one of the touring cruiser motorist and the only one who rode
the motorcycle while standing from one point to another of every state, major
cities and towns in Peninsular Malaysia, stopping only for an overnight sleep
and rest. The group trip commenced from Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur and
after completing peninsular tour, we finally ended at Kuantan, Pahang Naval
Base after 4 days.
From there, on 19/8/2006 the entire
touring group with the support and help of Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) logistic
ship was send to Sandakan sea port in Sabah. After two (2) days overnight sea
journey trip the group rested a day and commenced riding the following day
beginning from Sandakan covering all the major cities and towns of Sabah which
lasted for 4 days.
Thereafter covering the State of Sabah,
the touring group resumed to the State of Sarawak by passing Brunei trunk roads
for almost a day and continued several days journey going through the Sarawak
roads round all the major cities and town via the trunk roads and some slightly
rough terrain paths. The journey visiting around Sarawak lasted 3 days and we
made a detour trip to Kalimantan, Borneo whereby a special arrangement was made
at the entry check point to ride through their rough roads covering 100
kilometers. We halted for few hours before making our final return to Miri in,
Sarawak safely.
On the seventh day the bikers were sent
from Miri by the Royal Malaysia Navy (RMN) sea port base with logistic ship
back to Kuantan, Pahang Royal Malaysia Navy (RMN) base. From there, on the
twentieth day we reached Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur.
This is a very successful stand alone
and ride experience in a big bike covering a long distance cross country
journey and was well appreciated by other states in Malaysia and foreign bikers
who participated along in that journey.

On 9th. May 2007, I began a
solo trip standing and riding alone the Honda Gold Wing 1500 cc. super touring
cruiser bike beginning from Juru, Penang Highway Tol to Batu Caves in Selangor
and later proceeded to the final destination point to Maran Murugan Temple in
Pahang and return to Batu Caves then final return to Juru, Penang. This is a
personal venture trip with the help of friends who also escorted as road
traffic marshals throughout the journey. This trip achievement was done solely
for my personal satisfaction.

FUTURE PLANS:
I have tentative plans to make another
new Ripley’s Believe It Or Not record sometime in January 2012 in Thailand.
This upcoming program will be also a solo cross country adventure journey
beginning from Kepala Batas,Penang whereby the riding super touring cruiser Honda
Gold Wing 1800cc motorcycle entire body would be covered/stuck with 1550pcs
one by one inches of “Penang State Logo”
stickers. The sticker sticking event is an additional program whereby it will
be done by charity home children.
Following that will be the flag off
program by VVIP with the help of the local traffic road marshal. I would be
standing and riding alone via North/South Highway to Singpore,Bukit Kayu Hitam,
Perlis. From there, I will be make an official declaration at the Malaysia
Customs Department and Immigration Department at the border check point and from
there on resume to Thailand. The Ripley’s official’s counterparts in Thailand
will make the necessary prior arrangements with the Thai government and
authorities to perform and complete the task.
From Thailand I will also travel solo
standing and riding to enter part of Myanmar,Laos,South China, finishing the
end point there and make a return journey cutting across roads. Following from
Laos I will return back to Thailand via Cambodia,Vietnam roads. I will travel
via May Hong Song 1840 hill ride up
and down gradient sharp corners in same standing and riding position and stop
at Golden Triangle in Chengmai, Thailand. At Chengmai I will change the 1550pcs
of “Penang State Logo” to “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” 1550pcs stickers.
The changing of stickers event program will be done by their local charity home
children.
The
enduring journey will again continue from Chengmai and the partial stopping
point at Pattaya’s Ripley’s Museum. There will be certification and recognition
event at Pattaya Ripley’s Museum and there after I will preceed back straight
to Kepala Batas,Penang and the event will finally end by carrying “Malaysia” flag here with “Malaysia Boleh” slogan.Welcome by VVIP.
