Celebrating regardless of religious beliefs

No place like home: Narul (blue shirt) with his family at their village in Tamparuli about 40km from Kota Kinabalu.

KOTA KINABALU: It is not uncommon among Sabah’s people of different faiths to come together to celebrate festive occasions.

For the family of retired firefighter Narul Andua, the Christmas celebration sees all four of his children – two of whom have converted to Islam – return with their families from Peninsular Malaysia to their village in Tamparuli to reunite with their parents in the festivities.
