Sabah’s Kadazandusun-Murut number halved


KOTA KINABALU: The Kadazandu-sun-Murut community, which made up about 40% of Sabah’s population more than three decades ago, now only composes about 17% of the three million people in the state, says Tamparuli assemblyman Datuk Wilfred Bumburing.

The former United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) deputy president said that more must be done to reverse this situation.
