(雪蘭莪‧八打靈再也7日訊)蕉賴阿伯山內驚現二戰時期空投的500磅重型炸彈,警方考慮暫時封山,以便在山上沒有登山客時進行引爆工作。

這顆空投炸彈是由華裔登山客陳振、謝先生及數名朋友於前天在阿伯山一處山頭內發現,不過他們初時以為一顆埋在地表的地雷。

他們不敢擅自觸碰有關炸彈,而是在下山後通知行動黨無拉港州議員黃田志,再由後者向警方報案。
加影警方接獲投報後已隨即於昨天晚上在蕉賴鴻運園和合大嶺(Cheras Bukit Hartamas)兩個進入阿伯山的入口拉起警戒線。

而今天早上,8名軍火組警員在數名登山客的帶領下於今天下午1時進入阿伯山,並在下午2時30分左右找到炸彈所在位置。

軍火組警員在仔細檢查後發現,由於空投炸彈只有小部份外露,所以登山客才會誤會這是一顆地雷。
據瞭解,這顆空投炸彈是舊式炸彈,初步懷疑是二戰時期跌落阿伯山卻沒有爆炸,才會遺留至今。

爆炸氣浪或擴散方圓1.5公里

據知,這顆炸彈爆炸力驚人,如若在現場引爆,爆炸時所引發的爆炸氣浪可能會擴散方圓1.5公里,並可能會危及附近的登山客和在瀑布的戲水者,因此不敢當場引爆炸彈。

據悉,警方今天不會引爆這顆炸彈,並交由武吉阿曼警察總部軍火組決定是否要引爆炸彈,同時警方也勸說民眾於明天不要登上阿伯山。

Anti-Climax hiking experience at Bukit saga or Apek hill or Ah pak hill

On 18.09.2011(Sunday) i decided to hike bukit saga @ Cheras. Prior to that i was planning to hike 2 places in a row. First go to apek hill then straight to broga hill to complete my task. The main reason is because from the info i gather apek hill will only take 30-40 minute (off course i was pay for the mistake later). Beside that Apek hill is said to be famous spot for ah pek (old generation)...so i guess it should be fine to think big.



As i was hiking alone and first time going to find the place, i only manage to reach the entrance at 8.30am.

1. From KL-Leisure mall heading to Cheras-Kajang highway.
2. Bypass abandon phoenix plaze at right and petronas at left, make a exit to taman CUEPACS.
3. Bypass police training center at left and turn right
4. Go straight until u meet a split road. Turn left. Watch out for "Shell station" signage or econsave signage.
5. Go straight and turn left(if go straight will be going up hill road)
6. go straight and you will saw shell & econsave at traffic junction.
7. Turn right.
8. You can park your car along the roadside.
9. Entrance is via Jalan Awana 23



After park my car, i walk through resident area (200-300M) until i saw stall selling drinks. Thats should be the entrance...i guess. Without think twice i just start my hiking without warm up.



Entrance to Station 1.
This route is good for warm up exercise.Going up but not long distance. Station 1 is at the river bank.

Station 1 to 2
Here i feel some heavy loaded feeling. All the way up and quite long stretch.
about 20 minute from entrance.



Station 2 - 3
Here is the challenging part. Because we have warm up, stretch and now we really give it a push. i stop few time here. At station 3 you will see some people resting.

Station 3-Station4
Actually here is also tough. But after giving it a push since station 2, i don't feel any different during this route. Numb! But the route is quite flat at some point.



Station 4-Station 5
Not difficult and body started to get used of it.



Station 5-Station 6
Relaxing mood.. Station 6 is another big resting area. I thought i have reach the summit here but i saw a signage directing the way to summit is another 28 minute! Its already 60+ minute hike....i feel doubt whether want to go on or not as i was quite tired. However i give it a try.



Station 6 to summit
It's a anti-climax hike! Bit disappointed. From station 6 to summit is no more than garden walk!! If you can walk fast, its only took you 20 minute. Here is almost same as station 6. I wasn't stay long as i was thirsty and bit of dehydration at this point...... i didn't bring any bottle water!!!!





Summit to exit.
Just be careful when going down hill. The slope is dangerous especially after rain. I lost my way during getting out. wasted another 10 minute. When reach exit/entrance, i immediately buy drinks!!!!!





I underestimated bukit apek and make a big mistake when survey for information. Although Bukit saga is a hill, its still stood at about 421 meter (1,381 feet). Total time i took to hike Bukit saga@ah pek hill is 3 hours plus (Initial i thought is a 40 minute hike!!). I couldn't go Broga,getting lost, dehydration & my leg is cramp!

Although hill is not high, but it still make you sweating!
