Holding Kamaatan-Raya ‘do’ very significant, says Shafie

KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the organising of Tadau Kaamatan cum Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration by the Kadazan Dusun Murut Muslim SeMalaysia Association (PKDMMS) was very significant in a multi-racial and multi-religious Sabah.

He said such celebration is a good approach to promote the State’s diverse cultures and harmonious atmosphere to visitors.

“It is a unique approach by the association that can serve as a good example for others because the objective of the programme is to create and strengthen the relations between various religions among the Momogun community.

“The Tadau Kaamatan celebration can also introduce the culture of Momogun Muslims in accordance with the Muslim norms.
