KOTA KINABALU - Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Deputy President, Datuk Eric Majimbun criticised those who villify communities in Sabah just as the opposition has started gaining support at the expense of the Barisan Nasional government.
The latest incident to raise suspicions that a campaign is underway to discredit the opposition is a purported Pakatan Rakyat-run blog that mocked the Kadazandusun traditional dance “Sumazau”, calling it indecent.
“The blogger should be condemned… Kadazandusuns are a peace-loving community and no one should have the right to interpret through signs or words what was handed over to us by our forefather,” Majimbun said.
He said though the community is marginalised, it remains proud of its tradition and culture.
Yesterday, two political parties in Sabah lodged police reports against the blogger who posted the article that ridiculed the Sumazau as being fit for only those of low morality.
Meanwhile, the Pakatan Rakyat today issued a statement in its official blog, told that the party has nothing to do with the website suarapakatanrakyat.com on the "Tarian Sumazau Untuk Golongan Rendah Akhlak" article.
My ancestors sure were creative. They were futuristic. They had envisaged in their time that Sumazau would always be in. Sumazau is timeless.
ReplyDeleteNeed a lift to your spirit try Sumazau.
Please relay this message to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Tindakkan menghina budaya orang lain ini sememangnya tidak patut berlaku.
ReplyDeletemalangnya ia sudah berlaku..dan pelakunya adalah dari semenanjung...tindakan tegas harus dikenakan kepada penulis..
Deletejangan agung2kan kaum sendiri dan pandang rendah kaum lain.
Deletethe sumazau is timeless, yes... we should not worry too much if some low-self person wants to 'hina' the sumazau or belittle it. this is just some slight pinch. let us kadazandusuns think about the future of the younger generations. like, encouraging the younger generation of kadazandusuns to speak the language and educating them on kadazandusun customs.
DeleteRight on. You're giving me goosebumps. Positive. It's not everyday we hear that kind of spirit-lifting encouragement...Let's all do our share...
DeleteYeah I would like to ask the same Q too. Why mock our culture? If you don't like it, you are free to " blind " yourself.
Deleteamalkan sikap saling menghormati.
DeleteHanya kerana PM sokongan dengan tarian ini ada pihak yang tidak senang hati pula.
ReplyDeleteitulah...begitu lah sikap pro PR barangkali...
Deletesebenarnya mereka yang timbulkan isu ni hanya bertujuan untuk kepentingan politik.
DeleteCultures is a long way process and not in a day or two. Thank you.
Deletejadi SAPP mahu lagi bentuk kerjasama dengan PR kah? itu baru blog pro-pakatan, belum lagi pakatan memerintah...
ReplyDeleteadakah telah terbukti blog tersebut memang benar milik pro-pakatan?
DeleteSAPP ada buat repot polis juga kah?
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, these peninsula leaders don't care a damn about our Sabahans problems...they are all using us for their ends..so we are just left on our own. That is why we need our very own local parties to be our bastion.
Deletekalau tiada kaitan, PR ada buat repot polis juga? PR sabah ada buat repot polis?
ReplyDeleteitulah...jangan campur adukkan politik dengan budaya dan kepercayaan dan agama...
ReplyDeleteSabah was I believe a one happy family before some goons started going gaga over one another. The bad seeds must be eliminated once and for all,. My only wish is to be shown the light on how to do it. We have every right to live happily without all these hampering tugs. I'm being modest. Thugs
ReplyDeletesetiap kebudayaan mempunyai identitinya tersendiri, penuh dengan tradisi dan sejarah, dan tarian Sumazau juga tidak terkecuali mempunyai makna tersendiri.
ReplyDeleteeach individual should respect other's cultures
ReplyDeleteNo respect means no 1Malaysia.
Deleteso that racial harmony and peace can be preserved all the time
ReplyDeletetambahan pula, adat ini telah lama diamalkan oleh masyarakat tempatan sehingga kini
ReplyDeletetarian sumazau adalah untuk semua majlis dan semua orang
ReplyDeletehormatilah adat resam kaum lain
ReplyDeletejgn jejaskan keharmonian yang kita kecapi.
Deleteya, sebarang pekara yang boleh menjejaskan keharmonian harus dielakkan.
Deletesetiap kaum mempunyai tarian tradisional tersendiri
ReplyDelete"...Kadazandusuns are a peace-loving community and no one should have the right to interpret through signs or words what was handed over to us by our forefather..”--> well said
ReplyDeleteorang yang menghina tarian tradisional kaum lain adalah orang yang berakhlak rendah
ReplyDeleteBukan saja berakhlak rendah malah tak layak jadi manusia pun sebab takda hati perut!
DeleteKenapa mereka tidak berani munculkan diri? Menghina saja berani. Dasar manusia akhlak rendah dan pengecut bah tu.
DeletePR ini hanya ingin menarik perhatian orang ramai
ReplyDeleteKerja PR memang sentiasa menarik perhatian rakyat dengan isu2 tersendiri
Deletebiar mereka yang wujudkan ketegangan kaum ni akan mendapat hukuman yang berat.
ReplyDeleteMemang patut kena hukuman yang berat. Biar dorang tahu tinggi langit bumi.
DeletePasti orang yang menghina tu akan mendapat pembalasan juga suatu hari nanti
DeleteSungguh kesian orang yang suka menhina orang lain. Nampak sangat budaya mereka tak sihat sebab perangai pun tak senonoh. hahhaa
ReplyDeleteSalah didikan ba tu orang
DeleteAppaun saya bangga dengan budaya di Sabah. Penuh dengan keunikan:)
ReplyDeleteKebudayaan di Sabah unik dan setakat ni semua bangsa di Sabah hidup aman dan damai.
DeleteWe should feel proud for our difference.
Deletekita semua berbangga dengan keharmonian yang ada di Sabah.
DeleteProud to be Sabahan. True spirit of 1Malaysia exists here.
DeleteSetiap individu patut menghormati adat resam budaya orang lain.
ReplyDeleteya, negara kita kaya dengan kebudayaannya dan hrmat menghormati harus jadi amalan.
DeleteJangan rasa diri tu hebat sangat sehingga senang2 menghina kebudayaan kaum lain.
ReplyDeleteMereka yang suka bermain dengan sentimen perkauman dan agama harus dikenakan tindakan tegas. Mereka tidak akan ada kesedaran selagi tidar di'ajar'.
DeleteI don't think SAPP is interested to work with Pakatan because it said in today news that it want to maintain the local name.
ReplyDeleteSabah local opposition will not make a good pact with Pakatan Rakyat. This is an advantage for BN to retain their winning.
DeleteSAPP hanya banyak berbicara.
ReplyDeletemereka yang menghina kebudayaan orang lain harus dihukum.
ReplyDeletehormat menghormati perlu sentiasa diamalkan dan keharmonian yang ada harus dijaga.
ReplyDeleteThe writer who insulted the Sumazau dance must lack of information on this dance. Come to Sabah and we will teach him/her the true meaning of Sumazau dance.
ReplyDeleteLet them say whatever they want. Its just a waste of time to argue with them.
ReplyDeleteSapp sudah tunjukkan pendirian mereka berkenaan dengan penghinaan ini.. macam mana dengan Lajim dan Bumburing? Anwar? LGE?..
