KENINGAU: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the Kaamatan Figure (Tokoh Kaamatan) competition will be held in the coming Kaamatan Festival as a recognition for farmers to further enhance their agricultural production, especially paddy every year.
It would be held at the mukim, district and then state level and it is hoped that the evaluation standard can be set in every district in the state.
“It can help us not only produce more rice and as a backup for our economic journey and daily activities,” he said, when officiating the district-level Kaamatan Festival Celebration at the community hall here on Saturday.
