KOTA KINABALU: The Indian community in Sabah has contributed much and is an important part of society, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

He said in the pre-Malaysia period, Indians arrived as police, armed forces and civil servants under British colonial rule, and after the formation of the federation of Malaysia, arrived as teachers, doctors, engineers, traders and businessmen.
