Sacrificial rituals conducted at Mount Kinabalu to appease spirits


KUNDASANG: Sacrifices of buffaloes were made at the foothills of Mount Kinabalu Saturday as villagers living in its vicinity sought to “cool down” the spirits of the mountain, just two weeks after an earthquake killed 18 people there.

The monolob ritual was carried out simultaneously at the Kinabalu Park in Kundasang and at Mamut in Ranau.
