## A True Friend Is Gone
Nick Ong aka *Fakawi Chief* as he was called among the South-East Asian mountain biking community, has passed today in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Nick Ong [^1] was a man of many talents: creator of the Fakawi Tribe, captain of the Malaysian Fakawi Banshee Downhill Team, Malaysian importer of [Banshee Bikes](https://www.bansheebikes.com/), jungle explorer on weekends, unwavering supporter of [traks.org](https://www.traks.org.my/), the advocacy group for Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur's mountain biking gem, outdoor and MTB film maker [^2], oh, and also a medical doctor, all served by a sharp mind with an unparalleled sense of humour.
I am honoured and happy to have met such a good person.
You'll be missed *Mon Ami*.
