Celebrating a meaningful Gawai, Kaamatan away from home


JOHOR BARU: Despite a sea that separates them from their hometowns, Johor’s substantial Sarawakian and Sabahan communities are celebrating their Gawai and Kaamatan in ways both big and small.

The Johor Kadazandusun Cultural Association (KDCA) held its Kaamatan celebration in early May as it wanted to crown its own Unduk Ngadau (harvest queen), who then participated at the national-level ceremony in Sabah on Friday.
