Published on: Tuesday, May 03, 2016
Kota Belud: Kaamatan or Harvest Festival should still continue to be held as long as the Kadazandusun community exists, even if the harvest is not good."Even if paddy fields failed to yield good harvests for the year, Kaamatan must still be celebrated as a communal thanksgiving for all the other economic activities the Kadazandusun community had ventured in," said Kadamaian Assemblyman Jeremmy Ukoh Malajad when officiating Kadamaian's first Kaamatan this year at Kg Sumbilingon in Kelawat here, Sunday.He was echoing an earlier sharing by Sumbilingo JKKK Chairman Laudi Kayangoh that he and the village chief had initially thought of foregoing a Kaamatan do this year as paddy cultivation was badly affected by the lack of rain.
