Respecting Mount Kinabalu


Majestic sight: The view of Mount Kinabalu from Kinabalu Park in Kundasang.

THE chatter on my Sabah WhatsApp groups is still filled with heated debate on whether the Kadazandusun community is being superstitious by being angry with the foreign tourists who stripped and urinated on Mount Kinabalu.

In one group consisting of big guns in the Kadazandusun community, a few left the chatter in anger over the discussion whether the foreigners’ antics on May 30 were sacrilegious as it happened on sacred ground.
