KOTA KINABALU: Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun
launched the book ‘Customs and Taboos
of the Ethnic groups in Sabah’ at a
leading hotel here yesterday afternoon.
The book
highlights the different customs
and taboos practised traditionally by the various Sabah ethnic groups, namely
the Kadazan of Penampang, Bajau sama, Iranun, Bisaya and Runggus Dusun Bonggi.
Published by the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, Sabah branch,
the book was authored by five writers. They are Rita Lasimbang (Kadazan Penampang), Hajah Siti Aidah Lokin (Bisaya), Raymond Majumah (Rungus and
Bonggi), Abdul Naddin
Shaiddin (Iranun) and Radik Taim (Bajau Sama).
Masidi said Sabah is blessed with rich
traditions, customs and taboos from more than 32 recognised ethnic groups and
it’s a treasure that should be safeguarded.-/PENERANGAN
