Cultural group backs call to use 'Momogun' instead of 'others' to refer to Sabah natives


KOTA KINABALU: “Momogun” is the best way to classify the native Dusunic, Murutic and Paitanic ethnic groups of Sabah in official government documents instead of “lain-lain” (others), says the Rungus Cultural Association (RCA).

The native group’s president Journah Mozihim said it fully supported using the broader classification of Momogun to reflect the Sabah indigenous communities’ contributions to the state.
