Kota Kinabalu: The distinct culture and interesting dance of the Toraja community in Sabah is a plus in promoting the State as a tourism centre in the region, according to Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew. 

She said the Toraja community is a minority in Sabah that had contributed to numerous professions such as teachers, doctors, security forces, engineers, and even agriculture, adding significantly to Sabah’s vegetable supply.
