KOTA KINABALU: This year's Kaamatan , with the theme"Kaamatan Ensouls Nature”, will focus on nature conservation following climate change, as well as the preservation of paddy and fruit crops that are facing extinction.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said in officiating the event that Kaamatan was an important celebration not only for the Kadazandusun Murut and Rungus community but also for other communities in Sabah, so it was important to continue it as a platform to celebrate culture and foster unity.
“From a young age, we grew up accepting this fact. Hence, I find it very dangerous if anyone or any quarters try to subvert the unity we have cultivated and fostered for generations,” he stressed.
