Penampang: Sabah had a Cultural Rendezvous 2007 for the first time yesterday (Sunday), uniquely featuring "Festivals within a Festival" as a prelude to the State-level Tadau Kaamatan (Harvest Festival) on May 30 and 31 at Hongkod Koisaan (KDCA Cultural Unity Centre).
Which meant that even if Malaysians in Sabah had missed district-level agro-based festivals such as the Rumbia Festival, Cabbage Festival, Bamboo Festival, Maize Festival, Ginger Festival and Coconut Festival, they had the opportunity to participate in some of these indigenous festivals at the cultural rendezvous.
The programme is an initiative of the Kadazandusun Cultural Association (KDCA) under the leadership of Huguan Siou (Paramount Leader), Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
Pairin, who launched the event, also witnessed the Momulangga (cleansing ceremony) by Kota Belud's Tindals at the Walai Tindal, one of the 11 traditional houses found within the association's Cultural Complex.
