Another protrusion from the Earth called Lumatan had a similar treatment in 1966. The was a hill in North Borneo that was being used as a rebro station by the army. It was difficult to get at so the decision was made to clear the top for a helipad.
The Ghurkha Engineers went in and the Officer, an ex South African mining engineer sliced the top off like topping an egg. The result was perfect and everybody was happy.
Some time later the a Royal Engineers survey party pitched up wanted to go to the top of Lumatan. The reason was that they needed to do some map work and Lumatan was the main trig point for southern Sabah.
The whole of Borneo had sunk about eight feet.
