KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s rich and diverse culture was on full display at the closing of the Pesta Kaamatan at the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) grounds in Penampang near here yesterday.

This came after a two-year absence caused by the Covid-19 pandemic that had limited Kaamatan events such as the Unduk Ngadau cultural beauty pageant to only virtual streaming.
