SAPP: Don't mock our Cultures

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.

  1. My ancestors sure were creative. They were futuristic. They had envisaged in their time that Sumazau would always be in. Sumazau is timeless.

    Need a lift to your spirit try Sumazau.

    3. the 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.

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
