Robbi Sapinggi, a 30-year-old mountain guide from Kampung Kiau, succumbed to head injuries on Mount Kinabalu in the aftermath of the magnitude 6.0 June 5 earthquake in Sabah.
Despite being critically injured by falling rocks, he placed the safety of the climber he was accompanying before his own.
Even as he was bleeding profusely, he advised his climber to descend Mount Kinabalu as fast as possible, while indicating that he wanted to help others who might be on their way down the steep slope.
Accounts from witnesses said the veteran guide instructed his climber to descend first, prioritising the other person's safety before his own.
Sapinggi then waited for a rescue team to come to his aid as he did not attempt a descent on his own. But after a five-hour wait, he decided to slide down the rocky slope.
When the rescue team found him, he was barely alive.
He died moments later.
Robbi leaves behind his wife and a 6-month old baby boy.
An online fund-raising campaign has been started for anyone to pledge money to his family.
