KOTA KINABALU: For some two weeks towards the end of May every year, the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) in Penampang near here feels like the centre of the world in Sabah.

Many people from every corner of the state visit the KDCA grounds to watch the finals of the state-level Unduk Ngadau beauty pageant, which is the culmination of the month-long Kaamatan harvest festival on May 30 and 31.
