RECENTLY, we asked ratepayers in Kota Kinabalu on what changes they wished to see in the city now that there is a new Mayor in Datuk Sabin Samitah.

A MALAY proverb goes, “if you don’t break the ruyung, you cannot get the sago”. Entrepreneur and gong-maker, Lumbang Ukung, 72, has done just that.

TRADITIONAL products such as Batik Indonesia had long become the trademark of Indonesia and had reached the international market. .

KELVIN Chai, a member of LDP, said he was glad to see the organisers mixed Chinese spoken and sung parts besides other ethnic elements like Murut, Bajau etc in the Hari Raya stage show.   .

“SABAH is a very different society, we don’t care whoever we are, very much different, very friendly at heart, beautiful people,” said Ariffin Khan, businessman, entertainer and La Salle Alumni Social Secretary.

IS there a great reason for Chinese to turn up for the State Hari Raya open house?   .

IN yet another classic tribute to Sabah’s traditional tolerance, State Minister of Finance, Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun, wished a Malaysia with Sabahan characteristics.

THERE is something very profound about understanding and respect. When people feel understood, everything changes for the better.

EVER heard of Vaisakhi – the Sikh New Year celebration? On April 12 till April 14, a small Sikh Community celebrated the auspicious event at the famous “Batu Tiga” century-old heritage Gurdwara Sahib Temple, which was officially opened by North Borneo Governor Major General William Henry Mycroft at 8am on Sept 27, 1924! .

ON the current water and electricity problems in Sabah, which appear to be the main factor that could discourage investors, Masidi said the State Government has taken various initiatives in solving the water and electricity supply problems faced by the State.
