邦索巴召沙馬協會(PBBSS)主席拿督哈芝芝諾宣佈將興建一座新的文化中心的計劃，以保存和推廣巴召沙馬的傳統、藝術及遺產。
哈芝芝在斗亞蘭斯里蘇拉曼禮堂為邦索巴召沙馬協會(PBBSS)主持推介禮時表示，該文化中心將會是巴召沙馬族群的社區與文化心臟，同時也會為他們提供一個向本地人和遊客展示族群迷人的傳統、藝術及文化的平台。
“這是我國歷史性的一刻，正式承認巴召沙馬為沙巴州内一個具有獨特文化特色的土著。”
“隨著這個協會的成立，巴召沙馬人可凝聚在一切，在無需放棄本身的傳統與文化的同時，共同面對全球時下局勢所帶來的各項挑戰，”他說。
數以千計人民出席巴召沙馬協會的成立慶典，並觀看展現巴召沙馬文化的歌舞表演。
拿督哈芝芝諾表示，該協會也會積極地透過社會經濟能力和教育，推動巴召沙馬及其他社群的發展。
以主禮嘉賓身份出席該項儀式的首席部長拿督慕沙阿曼在致詞時，讚揚巴召沙馬社群有擔當，成立本身的協會以推動巴召沙馬人民的社群和文化發展。
“我們有責任保存我們文化、傳統和歷史的責任，這些也是形成沙巴州引以爲傲的多元文化的文化之一，”他說。
慕沙也強調保存和推動族群文化遺產的重要性，避免它遭人民遺忘或遺失。
他也呼籲年輕人積極參與該協會。
他說，該協會將會為年輕一帶提供正確的平台，作爲推廣他們對巴召文化有更深入的了解，進而產生對該文化的珍惜。
此外，慕沙也提醒該族群維護各種族間的和平與和諧，並與各族合作推動國家的發展。
配合該協會的成立儀式，雙魯杜(Suang Lotud)協會(PSLS)也推出了魯杜日曆，並指該日歷是他們流傳該後代的珍貴遺產。
“雙魯杜族群擁有本身計算天數及月份的方法，透過古老的儀式找出最適合婚嫁、訂婚、種稻和建新屋的日子，” 魯杜工商公會主席博迪曼查保說。
“這些都是代代相傳的無價之寶。這也是爲何我們決定將之記錄下來並加以保存，以免它們失傳，”他補充。-Insight Sabah.
