印度支那野兔会~吴哥瓦游

寮国掠影

Rehash from Coconut Kernel

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Captain speaking. Due to fog at Alor Setar Airport, we will be unable to land immediately……….” The Air Asia flight from KLIA to Alor Setar circled for about 20 minutes before the pilot attempted an approach. The runway could not be sighted and the aircraft overshot and diverted to Penang. The almost full load of passengers, including some 30 odd Animale and Kajang Batang hashers were full of consternation. A bus ride from Penang to AS was in contemplation.

There was relief when the pilot announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for being unable to land at Alor Setar. We are now proceeding to Penang for refueling. On completion, we will fly to Alor Setar again. By then the fog would have lifted.” The fog did and a successful landing was carried out at AS, after a delay of almost 2 hours plus. The time was about 1100 hrs.

A half an hour taxi ride, after disembarking from the aircraft took us to the border town of Danok. Why Danok, Thailand for a Malaysian anniversary run? The answer is why not Danok? The beer is cheaper, food spicier and entertainment superior and more readily available. For the opening ceremony, the District Deputy Police Chief officiated. Where to get?

Accommodation was at the Her Jin Hotel. It was brand new. In July when the Batang Nash Hash was held there, this hotel was under construction. At this rate of development, Danok is catching up fast with Hadyai as the pleasure center of Southern Thailand. Tiger Lee was at the hotel lobby to greet and organize the rooms. He was there the night before. “To organize for you buggers,” he claimed, but you and I know better. His bloodshot eyes told no lies.

After a hasty brunch, there was still time for a 2-hour traditional massage, before reporting to the runsite a mere km away. The site was a new resort spa hotel, which had been fully booked by AS hashers. Why a resort hotel in Danok, your Scribe could not phantom. There were no swimming pool or sport facilities. The easy drive-in to the motel rooms suggested an answer.

The banners welcoming hashers, big stage with massive loud speakers and neatly-laid out dinning tables, told of the festive atmosphere. Host GM Tits Ooi and prominent AS Hashers were there to greet hashers. “Welcome Kernel, great to see you guys,” as Tits embraced Scribe, his breath reeking of alcohol. The party had started already.

The hungry tucked into the delicious fried chicken wings and kueh-muehs, generously spread around, as pre-run snacks.

“Gather in-front of the stage for photos,” commanded the MC, Cow. The time was close to 5.00 p.m. Co-MC and organizing chairman, KK translated in Mandarin and Malay, for the benefit of those who went to school not to learn English, but to gamble by opening pages of thick textbooks.

“The run is slightly more than 1 hour,” promised the MC. There was apprehension, as at the last gathering here for the Batang Nash Hash, the MC said likewise. Scribe had completed the run in 2 and a half hours. Cow did not lie, as he had done this run 3 times before.

The Danok area is generally flat, with rubber estates and small vegetable farms. The paper led into rubber, crossed a shiggy before hitting high tension wires and went anti-clockwise. 5.00 p.m. is actually 4.00 p.m. in Thailand. So it was still hot and humid.. To placate any worry about security, due to the political unrest in neighboring Patani Province, the organizers had recruited the help of the district police. There must have been about a platoon (30-40 men) of them stationed strategically along the run route. Their slung rifles were deterrents to any suicidal bombers.

Half an hour into the run, a check confused the back runners, many checking vainly in the wrong directions, until a kampung lady indicated the correct direction. The high tension wire was reached again, and paper led away from home. A few could be seen contemplating a “tactical re-routing.” The unfamiliar terrain probably discouraged them.

About another half an hour of flat rubbers, a macadamized road was reached. This further lead to the Malaysian/Thai border, demarcated by double layers of barb-wire fences, along which the road went. Loud music could be heard from the resort. Home was not to far away. The run was going to be of a civilized length. Scribe completed in an hour and 20 minutes. FROPs did it in just over an hour. Not long, but enough to attain the hash run objective of “some exercise”, to be followed by “fun and fellowship”.

Thirst could easily be quenched by the abundance of mineral water, but the same could not be said for beers. The sole beer wagon with 2 dispensers could not cope although the brewery staff worked feverishly. Many thirsty hashers could not wait and forgot that the word “queue” existed. The hosts took charge and instituted some order. This was to be one of 2 minus points about this function. For a gathering this size, nearly 500, beer points should be at least 3 or 4.

Close to 7.00 p.m., MC Cow called the crowd to the side of the stage for the circle. To control a crowd this size, an amplification system was needed. Unfortunately, the speakers were facing the wrong way. This was the second minus point. “Actually, we intended to have it in-front of the stage, but the electrician was worried about the wires in the way,” explained the always amicable Cow.

Several icings were conducted and attending GMs were not forgotten. About half an hour of this and hashers were advised to prepare for the official opening by the Dep Police Chief. Sit-down diner, in-front and around the stage, was to commence at 8.00 p.m.

Shortly after, the entertainment started with a bang, with showgirls imported from Phuket. Their scantily-clad, tall and slender bodies caught the eyes of many admirers, amongst whom was Bandit Joe who could not stop salivating the whole evening. Whether they were “real” or akua, was a source of argument. “Don’t care-lah,” said Hard-Ho as he and Smooth Prick, kept on fondling the many beauties, later in the evening.

There were even real unmentionables on stage, albeit of a lesser stature. But the drooling was of no less intensity. Then the rain came and it poured. To the credit of the organizers and performers, the show went on, more interesting so, as the water made transparent what was underneath the thin dresses of the performers. Finally, the electrician stopped the show, as he feared for his electronic equipment.

It took half an hour to re-organize the show for it to be continued indoors, but by then, most of the crowd had departed for commercial pleasures at the numerous nightclubs and joints. As an interlude, JM Wank2 heralded the forever-hardcore Animales for a sing-along.

Several of the hosts apologized for the show disruption. There was no need. AS had put up a professional show of international tourist standard, unfortunately the rain had to pour. Personally, Scribe is of the opinion that the show got better. The showgirls were within “arms length” indoors. Ask the numerous hashers who had a field day trying to find out the authenticity of the akuas’ boops. Tiny g-strings and little stars were what separated the girls’ modesty from complete nudity. The likes of Bomba Mike and Hard-Ho kept on taking the stars off, extracting controlled high-pitch screams from the “girls.”

When this event was described on the following Monday run, Raja Bot Charan confessed, “Aiyoh, I got a hard-on, lah,”

The show ended at midnight. By then, Tits Ooi and our Great One, Eric the Plick were both collapsed on the floor, succumbing to the many toasting, firstly to the great hosts and subsequently to the enthusiastic supportive participants. PJ Animales’ GM had to comply to popular demands for on-downs. Consistently horny and thirsty hashers could easily find spots to satisfy their needs, even in the wee hours of the approaching dawn. The hotel buffet breakfast was a complete lack of decorum, as noisy hashers wolfed down the food faster than the chef could prepare. What a gluttony!

Close to noon, some, like Simple Licker, trickled into the coffee house and ask, “What’s for breakfast,?” “What farking breakfast, it’s lunchtime!” chorused those who had already eaten.
Wank2 exercised authority and ordered Kupu2 to bring out the bongos. Singing went on, until told by the hotel management, that other guests were frightened off. The singing then adjourned to a kopi-tiam across the road from the hotel.

“Eh, you wankers, taxi coming at 5.00, get ready,” Tiger took charge to ensure that our mob would not missed the flight home at 2020 hrs.

At 5.00, all were ready at the lobby. “Still got time for beers,” commanded the Great One and a nearby pub improved its sales. All the time, the Animales had the exalted presence of Cow and Tongkat Ali, who is the honorary mayor of Danok. Anyone wants to get things done in Danok, Tongkat Ali has the contact. If your unmentionables want to do shopping, don’t bother him.

Departure was finally achieved at 6.00 p.m, to arrive at AS Airport at 7.15 p.m. just in time for checking in. The flight was on time and a smooth landing at KLIA, less than an hour later, marked the end of another great hash weekend. Most would have been in bed by midnight and when asked by their unmentionables, probably replied, “Just another batang run-lah, a lot of beers and the run was too long, very tired-lah, standard pondan show. Good night.” But those who were there knew better.

Your Scribe was a member of AS Hash in the early 80’s and had attended almost all of AS celebration runs since then. This is the best ever. Congratulations and thanks to the OC KK, GM Tits Ooi, committee and members of Alor Setar Hash House Harriers. I am proud to have been a member of ASHHH once, and also a member of this male chauvinistic fraternity, called the Batang Hash. Perhaps the PJ Animale might want to sub-contract the Batang Nash Hash of 2007 to AS to be held in Danok?

On on to the Batang Hashing !!

赖锦光骸骨DNA化验不能有效进行 警方仍列为失踪案

（亚罗士打21日讯）疑是爬山失踪者赖锦光的骸骨，在送往化验局尝试进行脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）化验后，结果不能有效的进行分解与化验，医学上无法证明是赖锦光的骨骸，使到这宗轰动一时的失踪案，迄今仍然成为悬案。
古邦巴素警区主任莫哈末卡林助理总监说，由于DNA化验报告没有结果，因此警方仍然列有关案件为失踪案。

“除非警方掌握有其他的证据足以证明赖锦光已逝世，否则警方仍然列为失踪案，不管是过了几多年。”

他是于周三在日得拉警局接受传媒询问时如是表示，警方经于周二把有关DNA报告结果知会赖锦光家属。

他表示，他不晓得为何DNA化验无法检验出结果来，然而警方经把所搜获的所有骸骨与服饰送往化验局。

虽然卡林没有作进一步的表示，不过一般相信可能是有关骸骨已枯干多时，不能有效的进行DNA化验或是有充足的条件检验出一个结果来。

无论如何，卡林促请公众人士若发现任何与有关案件有关连的证物或情报，即联络日得拉警局。

米都电器商赖锦光（60岁）是于2003年10月18日与一群野兔俱乐部的爬山会员们攀爬吉北日得拉的武吉旺时忽告失踪，今年7月13日与武吉旺相隔约15公里或是3、4座山的彬在山，两截疑是人类的骨骸与破烂的服饰被1名采藤村民发现，初步鉴定有关服饰是赖锦光失踪当天所穿的衣着。

警方随后指示赖锦光的儿女到中央政府抽取血液等，同时也把有关骨骸送往化验局进行DNA化验，以核验有关骨骸是否属于赖锦光。

家人不能接受化验没结果

赖锦光家人依然坚信赖锦光尚在人间，并会继续寻找其下落。

惟其家人对DNA化验报告的结果感到疑惑，其次子赖静聪周三接受记者询问时，表示不能接受有关骨骸在化验后没有结果。

他说，据他所知过去曾经有一些年久的骨骸在进行DNA化验后皆有结果，因此他们全家都对有关报告感到不解。

他指出，其家人是在昨日（20日）下午接获警方的通知，警方也向他们出示化验报告。

“我们看到函件上写的化验报告是‘UNKNOWN’。”他表示，虽然如此其家人也不会寻求其他管道来为这些寻获的骨骸进行另一轮的DNA化验。

他也说，在他们未获得肯定的答案前，不愿作出任何猜测。不过，一直以来其家人都没放弃寻找父亲的希望，更不信父亲已离开人间。

他说，在警方寻获骨骸期间，其母亲还到处问神，并被告之父亲尚在人间。而且在这期间他们也到处打听父亲的消息，从来不曾放弃一线希望。

他说，获知化验报告后，也加强了他们坚信父亲尚在人间的信心。

登山員尋獲另一批骸骨

updated:2005-07-16 14:57:10 MYT 星洲日報／大北馬‧2005/07/15

（亞羅士打訊）哥打士打野兔俱樂部11名登山員週四上午結伴上山，在距離警方發現疑是賴錦光骸骨地區約300公尺的山腰，尋獲另一批骸骨。


他們已將骸骨交給古邦巴素警方，以讓警方化驗證實上述骸骨是否屬於人類骸骨，或是通過脫氧核糖核酸化驗（DNA），以鑑定是否屬於賴錦光的骸骨。

這批爬山之友計劃週六（16日）再上山，以期找回可能是賴錦光的完整骸骨。

友人結伴上山尋完整骸骨

這些喜愛爬山活動的登山員皆是賴錦光好友，警方雖尋獲賴錦光失蹤前的衣物，但是並沒有尋獲完整的人類骸骨，引發賴氏友人結伴上山的念頭。

他們週五（15日）上午約10時左右，在發現骸骨的採藤人帶領下，從甘榜敏再登上武吉旺後方的第3座山即敏再山，尋找可能屬於賴錦光的其他骸骨。

賴錦光的兒女也與父親友人結伴上山，親自參與這項尋找父親骸骨的爬山活動。

距離之前地點約300公尺

他們一行人經過約1小時攀山越嶺，在抵達警方日前發現骸骨的地點後，分散仔細搜尋附近地區，在距離之前地點約300公尺的範圍內，找到另一批骸骨。

警方是於7月13日下午接到甘榜敏再一名採藤工友投報，在距離爬山客賴錦光失蹤的武吉旺山後方第3座山的石壁下，發現屬於人體的骸骨及衣物。

警方搜尋發現僅剩1顆牙齒的下巴顎骨、小腿骨、1件白色印有哥打士打3H野兔俱樂部標誌的T恤、1條紅色靈符毛巾、1條短褲、1條藍色內褲及1個腰包。

偕友爬山失蹤, 賴錦光橫屍山林?!

（亞羅士打訊）2年前的10月18日偕友爬山失蹤，軍警和自願團體組織逾百人搜尋隊，耗2個星期搜遍數座山未見人影的電器商賴錦光，週三（13日）被發現早已橫屍山林。


一名採籐人週三在古邦巴素縣內的武吉敏再森林內作業，發現一具骷髏，報警調查在現場取獲爬山衣物，初步鑑定衣物與當年在武吉旺爬山失蹤的賴錦光吻合，確認衣物的死者家屬黯然面對事實。

發現骷髏的地點，與當年賴錦光失蹤的武吉旺，遙相隔著3座山頭，意即死者極有可能在武吉旺迷失方向之後，一直努力走出山林，不幸的是越走越遠，終至深入荒山野嶺，橫跨4座山仍不自知，這也令到當年的搜尋隊伍踏破鐵鞋覓不著。

為這起懸案揭開謎底的，是古邦巴素一名入山採籐為業者。

採籐人是週三下午3時30分入山，攀至武吉敏再發現一具可疑骷髏，現場遺有包括內褲的衣物，這名採籐人驚覺不妙，下山到古邦巴素警局報案。

由古邦巴素刑事調查主任昔阿都卡密助理警監率領的20人隊伍，在採籐人引路下重新入山搜尋，延至下午5時才抵達發現骷髏的現場，證實與骷髏相伴的，是爬山者慣用物品包括一個腰包、一件Ｔ恤、一件短褲、一件內褲、一個口哨、一把梳子、一罐風油、一把風沙丸、一個護身符和一個綁頭帶。

被發現的骷髏並不完整，只有臉部下頷，可見裂開的嘴內有一顆牙齒，一支疑是腳骨。

除此之外，明顯是骷髏死者穿著的衣物，也是爬山運動裝。

查案警官意識到這具骷髏極有可能是2年前爬山失蹤者賴錦光，直接聯絡賴氏妻子到日得拉警局確認物件。賴氏妻子是在傍晚6時30分抵達警局，一眼認定與2年前爬山失蹤的丈夫衣物吻合，意識到骷髏正是2年前失蹤的丈夫，不得不接受親人已死亡之事實。

儘管家屬幾可確認骷髏身份，警方仍需進行DNA檢驗以鑒定身份。

220野兔成员 登武吉旺山

亚罗士打野兔俱乐部昨日如期主办常年登山活动，一行约220名“野兔”踊跃前往吉北武吉旺参与登山活动，并未受到上个月一名米都爬山客登山后失踪的事件影响！

在上个月10月18日，哥打士打捷兔俱乐部成员赖锦光，在武吉旺进行爬山活动时告失踪，迄今仍下落不明，该俱乐部曾担心这项常年登山活动会因此而受影响。

黄新庆医生：不受失踪案影响

无论如何，该俱乐部主席黄新庆今日在武吉旺受访时表示，登山活动如期进行，并未受到上述失踪案的影响。

他说，这项活动在1年前已决定主办，他们在3个月前开始展开筹备工作，尽管有关失踪案件迄今尚未结案，但是，这并不影响参与者的心情。

设跑道确保安全

他说，他们前天开始派员上山设“跑道”，约花费了4小时方完成工作，以确保参与者安全上下山。

这项登山活动是野兔俱乐部的常年活动，今年，由亚罗士打野兔俱乐部轮值主办这项活动，今次的登山活动，获得来自八打灵、金宝及怡保的野兔俱乐部成员参与其盛。

该俱乐部第一副主席王孙文说，这次的登山活动，获得45名八打灵野兔俱乐部成员、25名金宝野兔俱乐部成员、75名怡保野兔俱乐部成员、以及75名亚罗士打野兔俱乐部成员参加，准备登上武吉旺的“野兔”共有220人。

他说，他们将于今天下午4时30分开始登山，大约在下午6时30分下山集合，整个活动过程都在天色光亮下进行，只要爬山者跟着路标走就不会失踪。

将在泰南丹洛镇设宴

他说，亚罗士打作为主办今次活动的“东道主”，将会在泰南丹洛镇设宴请客，整个活动经费耗资逾万令吉，因此，他们希望此项活动能够在和平气氛下进行。 '5c= 另外，他并不排除来自外地的参加者对武吉旺心存好奇，因为，自赖锦光失踪以来，大家并未发现任何蛛丝马迹，因此，外地参加者或想要到事发现场看看，进一步了解此失踪案的情况。

来自亚罗士打的电器商赖锦光，是在10月18日傍晚6时许，连同哥打士打捷兔俱乐部另17名成员，一同到武吉旺进行例常爬山活动。

一行人在当晚8时集合时，却发现赖锦光尚未下山，于是他们再度登山寻人，一直到凌晨约5时许，然而，却一无所获，大夥只好放弃搜寻，并于翌日报警。

从哥打士打捷兔俱乐部向警方报案后，警民从未间断展开寻人工作，除了州内各爬山组织前往参与寻人工作之外，尚有来自外州的爬山组织也加入寻人行列，致使搜寻队伍一度达到整千人。

不过，警方在展开超过两星期寻人工作后，在本月4日收队结束寻人工作。

History of the Hash House Harriers

The Original Hash House (Kuala Lumpur) Circa 1938


The Hash House


The 'Hash House' was the mildly derogative nickname given (for its unimaginative, monotonous food) to the Selangor Club Chambers, by the British Civil Servants and businessman who lived and dined there. Originally, the ground floor housed the main Selangor Club dining room, and between the two World Wars it became a social center of the times, used regularly for lunch time meals by the members who worked in the immediate vicinity.

Situated close to and behind the present Selangor Club, it's function changed after independence and it became a key office for the local Water Board, as it was the place where all Kuala Lumpur (K.L.) residents came to pay their water bills. Sadly, it gave way to the relentless march of time around 1964, being bulldozed to the ground under the north-bound lane Jalan Kuching. The buildings housing the original stables and servants quarters are still in existence.


Ancient Harriers


The idea of Harriers chasing paper was not new to Malaya in 1938, as there had been such clubs before in Kuala Lumpur and Johore Bahru, and there were clubs in existence in Malacca and Ipoh (the Kinta Harriers) at the time. "Horse" Thomson (one of the KLH3 founding fathers) recalled being invited on a run, shortly after his arrival in Johore Bahru in 1932, which chased a paper trail and followed basic Hash rules every week but was so magically organized that it had no name. The club flourished in the early 1930's but is believed to have died out around 1935.

The other branch of our ancestry comes from Malacca, where A. S. ('G') Gispert was posted in 1937 and joined a club called the Springgit Harriers, who also operated weekly under Hash rules and are believed to have been formed in 1935. Some months later, 'Torch' Bennett visited him and came as a guest on a few runs.


Hash House Harriers


By 1938, Thomson, Lee, and Gispert had all moved to K.L. and founded their own club, following the rules they had learnt elsewhere. The principal original members were:

History of the Hash House Harriers

A. S. ('G') Gispert
Cecil Lee
'Horse' Thomson
Torch' Bennett
Eric Galvin
H.M. Doig
Soon joined by others, including:


Frank Woodward
Philip Wickens
Lew Davidson
John Wyatt-Smith
M. C. Hay


It is not clear that the club actually had a name at the very beginning, but Gispert is credited with proposing the 'Hash House Harriers' when the Registrar of Societies required the gathering to be legally registered.


'Torch' Bennett technically missed being a founder member, because he was then on leave, bout on his return he introduced the first necessary organization - a bank account, a balance sheet and some system. More importantly, he seems, with Philip Wickens who joined later in 1939, to have helped to keep things going immediately after the war.

Sadly, Gispert had only a short time with his extraordinary creation, being killed in the fighting on Singapore Island on February 11th, 1942, whilst serving with the Argylls. But with the exception of Philip Wickens who died in 1981, and Lew Davidson who died very recently, the rest of the hardy band of hashers hare still with us and the KL hash House Harriers keeps in touch with them all. [Editor's note: Torch died soon after this was prepared in 1992]

The founding members were all British, although Gispert was actually Spanish in origin, his parents having migrated to London some time before he was born. Extraordinarily both he and Bennett were accountants, as were Paul Barnard and Jack Bridewell who made a significant contribution to our activities of later years. Some Hash psychiatrist should investigate where this work leads to extreme forms of escapism.

The HHH duly celebrated it 100th run on 15 August 1941, but only 17 runs later was forced into temporary hibernation by the arrival of the Japanese.


Postwar Rebirth


Post World War II, it was nearly 12 months before the survivors reassembled. 'Torch' Bennett put in a claim for the lost hash mugs, a tin bath and two old bags, on the fund set up with the proceeds from confiscated Japanese property and run No. 1 was a trot around the race-course in August, 1946. Subsequent to the 1,000th post war run the celebrations surround it were considered to be such a success that the 117 official pre-war runs were added to the total as we could celebrate the 2,000th run as soon as possible.

With the advent of the Emergency in 1948, the Hash was automatically in bad official odor, as their activities were generally illegal in terms of the curfew imposed on most of the areas surround Kuala Lumpur and in the years 1948-51, they maintained a precarious existence at best. The turn round came with the famous bandit incident at Cheras.

This has been widely misreported, but what actually happened was that below where the Lady Templer Hospital is now, in an area that was then rubber and belukar, the Hares on a darkening and rainy evening came across some men wrapped in ground sheets sleeping on the ground. The following pack found the bandits on their feet but someone, in the general confusion nobody got hurt. One member ran to Cheras Police Station and raised the alarm; the army laid ambushes on tracks leading out of the area and first thing the following morning bagged three bandits trying to break out. One of them was found to have a substantial price on his head and the bounty was shared among the non-government employees on the run (government servants were not allowed to participate in such rewards).

Other colorful incidents related by Cecil Lee, include how 'Torch' Bennett once nearly drowned in quicksand, and how on one memorable occasion the erstwhile unathletic 'G' was actually leading the pack: sadly his moment of glory was short lived as the paper trail turned to be false. Swimming would seem to be an unofficial prerequisite to all Hashmen too, for Cecil remembers having had to swim across a mining pool in order to get home after being lost on one occasion, and on another it is reported that several Hashmen ran in to a stream where bathed some unsuspecting Malay maidens. The girls screamed; their menfolk came hurtling to the rescue with the unsheathed parangs flashing, and the errant Hashmen broke land speed records in the eagerness to clear the scene.


The Hash Spreads Out


The second Hash Chapter was founded in Singapore in 1962, [Editor's note: The Royal Italian Bordighera Hash was begun in the late '40s but died by the late '50s. It was later resurected by members of the Milan H3] followed by Kuching in 1963, Brunei, Kota Kinabalu and Ipoh in 1964, Penang in 1965, and Perth was the first outside Malaysia and Singapore in 1967. Even by the time of K.L. 1,500th run in 1974 the total was only 35, so the subsequent explosion has been spectacular indeed. The 1992 international list will total around 1,100 clubs in over 135 countries and all continents (including Antarctica) where the hash format is often adapted to environments very different from the near rows of Malaysian rubber trees amongst which it was conceived. Kabul HHH understandably foundered, but what can it be like to hash in Sinai, Peking, Addis Ababa or the Falkland Islands? [Editor's note: The aforementioned second hash dating back to 1962 was founded in Singapore by Ian Cumming who is still actively hashing with the New York H3. He is also a primary contributor to every hash songbook].


Interhash


The first attempt at an Interhash get-together was the K.L. 1,000th post-war run in 1966, and the spectacular 1500th run in 1973 when attendance was something over 300. Interhash 1978 in Hong Kong broke new ground with an attendance around 800; Interhashes 1980 and 1982 were credited with 1,200 - 1,300; Interhash 1984 with rather more Interhash 1986 broke the 2,000 barrier with 2,143.

Attendance at Bali for Interhash 1988 was reported to bet between 2,600 and 2,700. Interhash 1990 in Manila was affected by the then current state of emergency in the country, but nevertheless some 1,600 intrepid Hashers were let loose in Manila and survived to tell the tale.

Interhash 1992 in Phuket, Thailand does not seem to be affected by the recent unhappy turmoil in Bangkok and, judging by reported registrations the numbers are set to pass 3,000. [Editor's note: Interhash 1994 in New Zealand drew nearly 4,000, Interhash 1996 in Cyprus drew 6,000 and Interhash 1998 in Kuala Lumpur had over 7,000 participants]

历史回顾。。。。还在修改。。对不起！

亚罗士打野兔俱乐部的成立，就好像婴儿在医院诞生，虽然不是在生产房,但在亚罗士打医院的饭堂，发起人是Gavind医生以及Foo Leow Pin,也是居林野兔俱乐部的成员. 当时参与野兔俱乐部的成员很多是医院工作人员,他们的加入就如鱼得水般.

亚罗士打野兔俱乐部的成立于1977年8月,第一次的跑程由亚罗士打之家,沿着火车铁轨,途经体育场路，返回达鲁阿曼大道。参与处女跑的人数达49位，看来它像一个好现象。 但是不久,野兔成员开始减少了,它好像是一个无力,失去精神力量的公鸡，就如"Hangat-Hangat Tahi Ayam"，那是五分钟热度的鸡粪。因为他们发现野兔俱乐部,不是一般的跑步会.。过后野兔俱乐部慢慢吸引了其他行业的人士参于，成为了新的生力军，同时亚罗士打野兔俱乐部能峙立不倒至今。

甚至没有新的成员,俱乐部仍能存活下来. sacrificies作了很多努力,投入这么多的俱乐部将活. 处于低谷出来. 约30名成员停滞不前. 阿洛Setarians无法被接受的想法,充斥各种侮辱散列成员形容词是「疯狂,原油和厌恶」. 它并不理会,仍不轻松的成员. 高精神. 我们进行不少! ! ! 对! 对! 通过山、丛林响起:: . 雨:: 闪光:: 国王墓、雷. 今天,我们尊重我们和我们的贫困救济.

在80年代的,我们突然有了新的会员. 其中原因根本不祥，可能是人们开始意识到健康的概念，并逐渐接受“释放工作压力，强身，啤酒中作乐，疯狂？今天，我们自豪地说，我们已经达到了83个成员的上限。

一直以来,俱乐部的发展时好时坏,每次遇到挫折,我们都互相勉励，加强学习，共同努力,把我们所面临的一切困难解决,使到俱乐部旗织还能在空中飘扬。

1984年,我们失去了一位敬爱的主席Dharam Singh Jasal，他走了,并留下野兔崇高的精神。他是死于跑步的山脉中，他的死，强烈震撼了大家的思想，因为他是一个真正“野兔领导”，他很有指挥才华，他的逝世是我们极大的损失,虽然他敲响了俱乐部的死亡丧钟，但他的精神与我们永远同在，我们已经历了这一悲剧，我们还在猜想他想要的是什么？

1994年，俱乐部面对黑暗的历史，我们内部大地震，很多老野兔离队而去，坚持“亚罗士打”的野兔留下来，地震中考验了野兔对于俱乐部的坚决，但不能催溃野兔的具体基础。

1996年，我们举办1000次跑步会，1997年，我们举办二十周年纪念跑步会，证明了我们道不尽的精神、决心和力量生存和进步的愿望.

1998年，我们举办了第一届野兔汽车寻宝赛，获得北马各地野兔参与。

1999年4月24日,我们举办了马来西亚第二届公野兔会,来自全国34俱乐部的600位野兔的参与，这是俱乐部一个重大的里程碑，我们贡献给于马来西亚野兔群。
