Date: 24 October 2010
The small town of Matunggong will once again be engulfed by the echoing sounds of gong beating as the Kudat Rungus community assembles to celebrate this vibrant festival. The Rungus—a subgroup of the Kadazandusun tribe—is one of the most culturally-preserved communities in Sabah.
Many Rungus families still adhere to the old ways; inhabiting ancient longhouses and practicing their age-old spiritual beliefs. The endearing charm of the Rungus people would most likely be rooted in their concept of communal living and sharing under one roof in the traditional longhouses.
