The expectations of the organizer were getting higher and higher each year, especially with the newly introduced subsidiary title this year, Miss Conservation WWF.
“The Unduk Ngadau winner is supposed to be able to exude a high degree of moral because they are representing the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut women. We are also looking at a winner who can be the role model to the younger generation and has a spirit of voluntarism in being willing to sacrifice her time for the community, besides being intelligent to ably present our country, culture and tourism to the world.
“This year, we also want the finalists to be aware of conservation. Hopefully, they can be an ambassador in their respective districts to tell about the importance of wildlife, and maybe to be a voice to their families to explain about the effects of hunting wildlife in the jungle,” said Joanna.
During the registration yesterday, Joanna also said that the organizing committee was emphasizing on the representation of the traditional costume in each district.
“We are looking at what every district has and encourage them to bring out costumes that have not been projected before. It is because we want to enrich our cultural heritage.
“We want to see more costumes instead of the normal costumes we see before. Luckily this year, we have about five new costumes, namely, from Lahad Datu, Sook, Kemabong, Keningau and Beaufort,” she added.
The new costumes are the Minglap and Tapik of Dusun Subpan of Lahad Datu, Sulayau and Tapik Kinangkaringan of Murut Bookan, Murut Kemabong of Kemabong, Kiujau of Dusun Gana of Keningau and Kuizou of Dusun Beaufort.
