Spiritual importance: Ewon pouring water on the Keningau Oath Stone during an event last month.
KOTA KINABALU: A ceremony at a sacred monument in Sabah has sparked outrage among indigenous groups, who see it as a spiritual transgression with dire consequences.
To them, the ritual conducted by Sabah Pakatan Harapan on Jan 25 at the Keningau Oath Stone disrupted the spiritual balance, contributing to the severe floods over the past three days that displaced hundreds and forced evacuations to relief centres in Keningau, an interior district about 110km away.
