LAHAD DATU: The Kaamatan Festival should be celebrated by all levels of society in Sabah including in East Coast areas such as Lahad Datu, Sandakan, Kunak, Tawau and Semporna.
Minister of Community Development and People’s Well-being (KPMKR), Datuk James Ratib, invited people who are not KDMR (KadazanDusun Murut Rungus) to get rid of the motion that this festival is only for the ethnic group.
“Lahad Datu is one of the districts that has its own uniqueness with ethnic people from KDMR such as Dusun Segamo, Dusun Subpan, Idahan and Dusun Begak.
