This run can be called the AGM and ADM Run with all the ingredients from CSI. …. ADM-A Dead Man. Read on ……
We headed north to Rawang and followed the direction given and reached the run site under the scorching sun with no shelters or trees. We have the full range of SUV and 4X4 vehicles lined up like German infantry leading to the tents set-up for the AGM. There could easily be 60 odds vehicles and this parade was later joined by the Royal Police Kancil, Proton and the Land-Rovers. Apparently 30 meters from the AGM tents is the burnt corpses of a Nepali. We see CSI in action with some inquisitive hashers milling around the cordoned area and expounded their CSI theories of what could have happened to the poor guy. The victim of a love triangle or :the revenge of an “Ah Long”? .
Inspite of this distraction, the outgoing GM managed to call for the nomination of the new exco and “on-down’ 2 hardcore hashers who will be migrating elsewhere. Good for them as we are now in the midst of the Malaysian summer with the heat soaring to 40 degree C.
The “On-On” is sounded and the whole host run across the dried-up plain towards the welcoming shelter of the hill covered rubber trees. At the bottom of the hill, we have the FROP jumping over a muddy ditch with the less agile, bathing their shoes in mud and onto the steep climb and escape from the scorching sun. The first check was quickly broken and with the various hashers trying to follow the “horn” sound and doing their short cutting stunt. There were at least 3-4 hills of orchards, rubber tree and oil palm estates and with at least 2 long false trials. Some of the runners suffered from dehydration due to the intense heat and were gladful for those who shared their drinking water. A Dr Jack was so thankful for the drink that he later spent the whole evening singing praises to the lady hasher who shared her drink as he claimed that it saved his life. Do you believe that?
We did the last 2 hills along the NS Highway before turning back to the run site and met a few late comers who did the reverse run. The distance according to one GPS is 9.3 Km when we reached Ramli’s wagon of life …. for many dehydrated and sun-burnt hashers. What a dry run this is compared to the wet and leech-ful run last week.
After being revitalized, some of the hasher approached the policemen who have since cordoned off the ADM area, to seek for more information on the cause of death and further advanced their CSI theories.
In view of the AGM, the Circle was called early with the election of the incoming exco members and consequential “torture” of the sinners and saints. The On-On is onsite with 2 burnt offerings to honor the Year of the Fire Boars and food catered from a Sikh. By them the stench of the removed corpse permeated the air and some of the hashers made a quiet exits to the amusement of those. The merry go-round continued to late into the night as I was told.
