[LUAHAN HATI RACE DIRECTOR]

Terlebih dahulu - setinggi-tinggi penghargaan kepada pasukan sukarelawan (dari HDOK dan di luar HDOK), RELA, PDRM, Radio Operator, APM, PEMMS, St John, Kinabalu Running Club dan ramai lagi yang telah menjayakan acara EMS2025 ini.

Banyak input dan feedback yang telah diberi dan semuanya telah diambil maklum supaya EMS2026 akan jadi lebih bagus, dan yang lebih penting - keselamatan runners yang lebih tinggi. Water station, pisang , ice, medik, signage, cones dan banyak lagi perkara yang harus kami perbaiki. Kelemahan itu pasti ada, sebab kami hanya manusia. Yang penting adalah untuk memperbaikinya.

Kalau ada yang masih ingin memberi feedback boleh message kami atau singgah HDOK untuk jumpa saya ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Akan tetapiโ€ฆingin saya respon kepada beberapa perkara yang pada pendapat saya tidak betul dan agak fake sebenarnya.

UNTUNG?
Persatuan Ortopedik Sandakan yang merupakan penganjur utama ini merupakan satu NGO yang AJKnya tidak pernah ambil RM1 pun untuk diri sendiri semasa menjalankan aktiviti/program ini (termasuk Race Director). Anda boleh tanya mana-mana staf HDOK untuk mendapat kepastian ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lepas tu mesti ada yang tanya - jadi pergi mana untungnya itu? Dana yang dikumpul dari program yang dianjurkan oleh kami diguna balik untuk masyarakat Sabah sendiri dan boleh dilihat di posting FB Persatuan Ortopedik Sandakan ini.

PHOTOGRAPHER?
Kenapa kami ada official photographer? Ini juga satu usaha untuk memberi balik kepada komuniti Sandakan. 99% daripada kutipan dana dari jualan gambar akan diberi kepada photographer dengan organizer ambil kurang daripada 1% untuk โ€œcover costโ€ platform jualan itu.

Yang tidak percaya boleh rujuk mana-mana official photographer kami untuk sahkan info ini. Jadi bila ada website lain yang menjual gambar - ini akan menjejaskan pendapatan photographer official - dan kami tidak dapat jamin bahawa website lain bukan satu scam yang menggunakan logo dan nama rasmi event EMS.

MCH KK Sabah dan MAPPAC.org juga persatuan yang kami menyokong dan menyumbang dalam usaha memberi kesedaran tentang kepentingan penjagaan paliatif kanak-kanak (penyakit yang tiada penyembuhnya)

Selain itu - beberapa perkara yang kami cuba usahakan tahun ini untuk memberi manfaat kepada runners - mobile prayer tent, air kelapa, ais krim untuk semua, sports massage free di finishing line, dan lain-lain.

[WORDS FROM THE RACE DIRECTOR]

First of all โ€” my highest appreciation to our volunteer team (from HDOK and outside HDOK), RELA, PDRM, Radio Operators, APM, PEMMS, St John, Kinabalu Running Club, and many others who made EMS2025 a success.

We received a lot of input and feedback, and every bit of it has been noted. All of this will help us make EMS2026 even better โ€” and more importantly, safer for all runners. Water stations, bananas, ice, medic readiness, signage, cones, and many more aspects are things we know we must improve. Weaknesses will always exist โ€” we are only human โ€” but what matters is that we fix them.

If anyone still wishes to give feedback, you can always message usโ€ฆ or drop by HDOK and talk to me directly. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Howeverโ€ฆ I do want to respond to a few things that, in my opinion, are not accurate โ€” and honestly, quite โ€œfakeโ€.

โธป

PROFITS?

Persatuan Ortopedik Sandakan, the main organizer, is an NGO. None of the committee members โ€” including the Race Director โ€” take even RM1 for themselves from this event or any programme we run. You may ask any HDOK staff member to confirm this.

So where does the money go?
Every bit collected from our programmes is channelled back to benefit the community in Sabah. You can see the breakdown of our contributions on the Persatuan Ortopedik Sandakan page.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AN8eHmDTQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

โธป

PHOTOGRAPHERS?

Why do we have official photographers?
This is also part of our effort to give back to the Sandakan community.

99% of revenue from photo sales goes directly to the photographers. The organizer takes less than 1% just to cover the cost of the sales platform.

If you donโ€™t believe it โ€” feel free to ask any of our official photographers to confirm this.

So when other websites sell event photos without our approval, it affects the income of our official photographers โ€” and we also cannot guarantee that those websites arenโ€™t scams misusing the EMS event name and logo.

โธป

We also support MCH KK Sabah and MAPPAC.org โ€” both organisations working to increase awareness on paediatric palliative care (for children with illnesses that have no cure).

In addition, we tried several new things this year for the benefit of runners โ€” a mobile prayer tent, coconut water, free ice cream for everyone, free sports massage at the finish line, and more.

๐Ÿšจ ANNOUNCEMENT ๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿ”ด We are NOT associated with any other website, company, or individual offering race photos.
