KOTA KINABALU: A statewide Sabah flag relay is being held to raise awareness about Sabah’s overlooked history - that it had achieved self-governance on Aug 31, 1963, before joining in the formation of the Federation of Malaysia on Sept 16 the same year.

Organised by Sabah STAR Youth (Wiramaja), the programme involves teams of flag bearers passing the Sabah flag to other awaiting members in various districts across the state before it reaches Keningau on Aug 31 for the highlight of the Sabah Day celebration.
