Caving in Tok Sembilan (Sunday 23 August 1998)
Chang Kok Kai led about 20 cavers to this cave where there is an abandoned Chinese temple with some Chinese poems written on the rock surfaces of this cave. On their return to their vehicles they were surrounded by villagers who brought along some police personnel because they thought the cavers were raiders of some lost treasure. After some explanation by the participants the locals were pacified. It seems a girl named Semelah who was forced to marry an old man ran away to this cave. Some of Semelah's things may have been left there and so did her name � not Sembilan.
