.....so you're a Kadazan.....how deep is your belief in the Legend of Huminodun? Like Jesus ...She sacrificed Herself for the indigenous people of Borneo...if not the whole rice-eating world!
Drops of blood run down my cheeks.....contemplating of these frightful yet proud KDM! In the context of Sabah.....Ketuanan Melayu is second to KETUANAN MALAYA!You are so easily swayed by money, power and self-glory!
I am a KDM too....from Penampang...but I don't prostitute myself! At this material time, the KDM stands for "Kuli-Kuli Dalam Malaysia!" KADAM DALAM MALAYSIA....
High time for us to really open our mind! A closed mind won't work at all.....just like a parachute which needs to be fully-opened in order to function correctly!
This is not the time to dream...this is the time to really look ahead! Huminodun sacrificed Herself to give us a bountiful harvest of paddy.......WE THE TRADITIONAL PADDY PLANTERS.....WHO TURNED BEGGARS AT GROCERY SHOPS .....JUST FOR RICE!!!

Ontok nopo poguhu...Kaamatan - thanking and praising God!
Ontok nopo baino....Kaamatan -
is UNDUK NGADAU & SUGANDOI!
Please do not corrupt the real meaning of Kaamatan! The Magavau ceremony is heart of a true Harvest Festival....just like the Jewish Harvest Festival...a festival to honour God.
When God is sincerely praised by a people....believe me that God will be closer to them...putting them on higher grounds...unchaining them from physical and mental oppressions! If the KDM sincerely observe this they will be empowered spiritually ...they will be able to block any further progress of KETUANAN MALAYA in the Land of Kinabalu!
Pairin...as the so-called Huguan Siou...should look forward more into the religious ceremony of Kaamatan. Abraham of the Old Testament was PAGAN ! ....remember that religions are similar to political parties....even a pagan has the right to be God's lover!
Not only the Jews but even the Malays never stop praising God daily and see where has God taken them to? God will never fail a people who trust in the Supreme Spirit of Kinoringan! God moves men.....men don't move by themselves .
Wake-up KDM! Hibernate no more...let's turn Malaysia into a better place for all races and religions!
God bless us!

Yes, yes! Kaamatan is a feasting to God..(...I noticed that our Harvest Festival has close resemblance with that of the Jewish Harvest festival as mentioned in the Book of Leviticus. Could we be the lost tribe of Israel...and here could be the Promised Land! As Sparra says....just like a parachute, the mind will function only when OPENED!
God bless Sabah....in Malaysia!

I am a Kadazan but being born in the 50s my birth certificate says my race is Dusun.
Whatever it is being a Kadazan or Dusun, I believe in the komburungoh.
ME TOO! It is the ORIGINAL prayer beads...like the Tasbih and Rosary! Once its true secrets revealed to an owner....such owner of the Komburungoh can even move nature...calling the winds and storms,etc...healing the sick...and petition the Great Kinoringan to move men's mind in favour of the owner's! Man is put right with God only through FAITH....not holy deeds! YAKIN SAJA BAH!

Since the spirit of Kaamatan rules our May...I SAY HERE THAT PAIRIN IS LOSING DIRECTION...HE IS NOT THE CHOSEN HUGUAN SIOU WHICH IS A TITLE BEFITTING A DIVINELY CHOSEN KING OF PADDY PLANTING BORNEONS! HE IS BEING THERE PRESENTLY AS CARE-TAKER!
PAVE THE WAY FOR THE LORD....FOR THE LORD's LOVER IS COMING WITH GLORY ENORMOUSLY FILLED WITH GOD's SPIRIT! THE ONE TO COME IS LIKE KING DAVID....THE PROPHET KING OF ANCIENT ISRAEL!
NOW WHO SAYS THAT THE LEGEND OF HUMINODUN IS A FAIRY TALE? AND WHO DARES NOW TO BELITTLE THE SEVEN STALKS OF THE NEWLY-HARVESTED PADDY IN THE RITUAL OF THE BAMBARAYON? RICE GIVES LIFE AND HOPE!
KINABALU IS ZION...THE STONE MOUNTAIN OF THE OLD TESTAMENT....AND HERE IS THE NEW JERUSALEM! HERE LIES THE PROMISED LAND AND THE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF BORNEO....THEY ARE THE LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL!
ONLY AN OPENED MIND UNDERSTANDS WHAT I AM SAYING HERE!
An obedient servant....

I strongly believed that Pairin either quit politics and concentrate to be Huguan Siou or passed the Sigar and Sword of Huguan Siou to someone else and stay active in politics forever.
Pairin should "abdicate" as Huguan Siou and remain active in politics! The title "Huguan Siou " is KERAMAT..."....it belongs to Kinoringan's emissary...after painful tests!
