KOTA KINABALU: Every Ramadan, the Church of Mary Immaculate, a Roman Catholic church, in Bukit Padang near here will open its gates to allow Muslims and non-Muslims alike to park there before buying food and drinks from nearby bazaars.

The practice, which has been in place for about six years now, is seen as a simple but wonderful gesture to show understanding among people of various races in Sabah.
