"September 16, 1963 was a very significant date for Malaysians, especially in Sabah because on that day, Sabah, Sarawak and Federation of Malaya merged to form Malaysia.

"Therefore, I would like to invite the Dusun community in Sabah through Usda to continue giving their support and cooperation to the government to ensure that Sabah will continue to develop and prosper," he said.

The event benefited three organisations namely Jireh Home Organisation, Community Rehabilitation Centre (PDK) Ranau and Pelestarian, receiving RM10,000 each.
