On 27th August 2011, fourteen shopshouses and a wooden house with 55 years of history in Tebedu old bazaar were completely burnt down 30 minutes after the fire started. The fire was seen coming from the 7th shophouse and the cause is believed to be a short circuit. The fire victims suffer a loss estimated at RM3 million.
According to the Kapitan there, the shopowners will have to be located to the new Tebedu township located few kilometres away and the old bazaar will not be rebuilt.
On the morning of 4th September 2011, the Lions in Region 1 led by Region Chairperson Ln Peter Ong made a trip to the old bazaar to hand over the donation for the fire victims to Kapitan Bong, with an amount of RM3,600 where RM2,000 is from District 308-A2 Foundation and the remaining from some Lions Clubs in Region 1. Our club made a contribution of RM200.
