KOTA KINABALU: Kadazan-Polish beauty Maya Hejnowska emerged as the Unduk Ngadau or Harvest Queen as Sabah’s month-long Kaamatan celebrations come to an end.

The 21-year-old, who speaks her native Kadazandusun dialect fluently, will now become an “ambassador” for Sabah as well as promote the state’s products during her tenure as the Unduk Ngadau 2021.
