‘Unduk Ngadau being held nationwide nothing new’


Battle of the queens: 49 women will vie for the title in the 2024 Unduk Ngadau Sabah finals scheduled for May 31 in Penampang.

KOTA KINABALU: A little-known fact about the Unduk Ngadau, a traditional beauty pageant held during the Kaamatan festival here, is that it has also been celebrated in the peninsula over the past 21 years.

Sabah Unduk Ngadau committee chairman Joanna Kitingan said this year, six Unduk Ngadau from the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association (KDCA) branches in the Klang Valley, Putrajaya, Johor, Melaka, Perak and Penang were crowned.
