Festival
Musa Aman’s Christmas wish
Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman knows how historical Gaya Street is. It is the oldest and most famous thoroughfare in Kota Kinabalu capital. The British colonial government, which ruled Sabah until 1963, named it after London's upmarket Bond Street as it was the only shopping street. But it hadn't lived up to its name that is synonymous with luxury shopping. However Gaya Street has become a street of festivities where the yearly Christmas, Chinese new year, Ramadan and Kaamatan carnivals are held. This Christmas, Musa has a wish: He wants next year's Gaya Christmas celebration to be bigger and brighter that will bring European tourists here.
Religion
A time for holy fun
All work and no play certainly makes Jack a dull boy. Islam, says Hajiji Noor, realizes this and thus encourages lawful entertainment to allow Muslims to live a balanced temporal and spiritual life in perfect harmony with Allah. The minister of local government and housing says Islamic arts such as the nasyid (religious songs), berzanji (rhyming prose) and berkompang (musical tambourines) are inspirational, motivational and entertaining.
Islam
The way of the Prophet
Sabah chief minister Musa Aman has always been a fervent advocate of holistic living and development. In eight years he has transformed the Borneo island state's economy into a vibrant one through his Halatuju policy in developing agriculture, tourism and manufacturing while conserving vast tracts of virgin jungle to protect endangered wildlife. This has won him international kudos. Sabah is cash-rich with reserves of slightly more than 2 billion ringgit ($650m). Last year the auditor-general said it was the best managed state of the Barisan Nasional coalition government. And he has achieved this by following the way of Prophet Muhammad in being fair to all.
Christmas
1Malaysia unity at Sabah Yuletide
The traditional message of peace, love and goodwill rang out loud and clear at the open house of deputy chief minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan on Christmas Day. The hall of the Kadazandusun Cultural Association in Kota Kinabalu was packed with thousands of people – Kadazandusuns, Muruts, Malays, ethnic Chinese and Indians – who joined head of state Ahmadshah Abdullah and his successor Juhar Mahiruddin in the warmth and gaiety of the Christian celebration that resonated with prime minister Najib Razak's 1Malaysia unity policy.
Christmas fair
In Sabah, a star of great joy
The Christmas celebration has got to be merrier. So the Sabah Council of Churches and Kota Kinabalu City Hall have themed this year's four-day Gaya carnival from December 14 to 17 as “the star of great joy.” It reflects on the success of prime minister Najib Razak's 1Malaysia concept of unity which he launched last December. Thus the fair is not just a religious festival but a celebration of national unity, according to Dr Yee Moh Chai, minister of resource development and information technology.
Culture and religion
Love knows no bounds
It is love at first sight for two 30-year-olds of different cultures, religions and ethnicity separated by 1,600km (1,000 miles) of the South China Sea. Businessman Adam Ibrahim Navindra Abdullah of Johor Bahru has just settled in Kota Kinabalu to be with his Sabahan fiancée, seamtress Sitti Syarrah Arsan. Adam is an ethnic Indian and Sitti a Bajau of mixed parentage from Tuaran. For the first time, they celebrated Deepavali together with a few thousands of other Malaysians in a 1Malaysia spirit of unity at an open-house of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) at the Likas sports complex. They plan to marry next year.
