KUALA LUMPUR: A 23-year old mountaineer from Felda Jerai I Scheme, Gemas, Negri Sembilan reached the top of Mount Everest at 7.41 local time (9.56 am Malaysian time) to become Malaysia's youngest female climber to conquer the world's highest peak.
Everest Felda Project 2013 adviser Datuk Akmar Hisham Mokhles, in a text message to Bernama, said Siti Hanisah Sharuddin's achievement completed the feat made by seven Felda mountaineers after six male climbers made it to the summit on Tuesday.
Siti Hanisah could not keep pace with the other six climbers as she was held back 148 meters from the peak due to acute mountain sickness.
The youngest, Mohd Nasuha Shamsuddin, 21, reached the summit at 8,848 meters above sea level at 8.31am local time (2.05am Malaysian time).
This was followed by Mohamad Asyraf Mohd Halim, 25, at 8.48am local time (3am Malaysian time) and Muhammad Hafizuddin Ibrahim, 22, at 9.11am (3.25am Malaysian time).
Mohd Nasuha is from Felda Tersang 3 Scheme, Raub, Pahang while Mohamad Asyraf is from Felda Lok Heng Timur Scheme, Kota Tinggi, Johor, and Muhammad Hafizuddin from Felda Chini Timur I Scheme, Pahang.
Organised by Malaysia's 7 Continent Exploration Club (KE7B) with the cooperation of Felda Youth Council and Felda Global Venture Holding, the climb was participated by 12 supporting climbers comprising seven Felda residents and five KE7B climbers.
The expedition began on April 2. -- BERNAMA

Ibrahim Deraman dan Marni Ismail bersama dua anaknya, Nurlina Ulfah Aimaan dan Mohammad Khairu Fauzi membaca Utusan Malaysia mengenai kejayaan Muhammad Hafizuddin menawan puncak Everest di Pekan, Pahang, semalam.
PEKAN 22 Mei - Kejayaan enam pendaki termasuk empat anak peneroka dari Kelab Eksplorasi Tujuh Benua Malaysia (KE7B) menawan puncak Gunung Everest pagi semalam menghilangkan sedikit perasaan gusar ibu kepada Muhammad Hafizuddin Ibrahim, 22, yang bimbang keselamatan anak kesayangannya itu.
Marni Ismail, 49, bersyukur kerana anak kelima daripada 10 beradik itu selamat sampai ke puncak tertinggi dunia dengan selamat.
"Alhamdulillah, sememangnya saya tidak pernah menjangka dia akan sampai ke puncak berkenaan, saya rasa mustahil, tetapi dia telah membuktikannya.
"Saya cukup berbangga dan gembira dengan kejayaannya walaupun dalam masa sama perasaan bimbang akan keselamatannya tetap ada," katanya ketika ditemui Utusan Malaysia dirumahnya di Felda Chini Timur 1, di sini hari ini.
Muhammad Hafizuddin bersama lima pendaki lain, Mohd. Nasuha Shamsudin, 21, Mohamad Asyraf Mohd. Halim, 25, Zainudin Lot, 37, Myrza Fasha Md. Hamyrudin, 25, dan Muhammad Illaham, 37, tiba di puncak berkenaan pada ketinggian 8,848 meter (29,028 kaki) dari paras laut antara pukul 8.31 pagi waktu Nepal hingga 11 pagi semalam.

Menurut Marni, dia dimaklumkan oleh kakak Muhammad Hafizuddin atau lebih mesra dalam kalangan keluarga sebagai Apiz sampai ke puncak Gunung Everest pagi semalam kira-kira pukul 10 pagi.
"Sejak Apiz ke Nepal kira-kira sebulan lalu hati saya tidak tenteram dan apa yang dilakukan serba tak kena kerana memikirkan keselamatannya,'' ujarnya.
Sementara itu, bapanya, Ibrahim Deraman, 59, Apiz menunjukkan minat terhadap aktiviti lasak sejak kecil apabila sering memanjat pokok kelapa dan menyertai pelbagai ekspedisi mendaki gunung sama ada di dalam atau luar negara.
"Sebagai bapa saya sentiasa memberi semangat dan mendorong agar dia berjaya melakukan apa sahaja yang diminatinya.
"Semasa di zaman sekolah, Apiz sanggup berjalan kaki ke sekolah sejauh kira-kira dua kilometer dan tidak mahu saya menghantarnya," jelasnya.
Tambahnya, mereka sekeluarga merancang mengadakan majlis doa selamat sebaik sahaja Apiz pulang ke kampung.
