Food for thought: Festivals like Gawai in Sarawak and Kaamatan in Sabah offer Malaysians the opportunity to come together and foster unity.

IT is a well-known fact that Peninsular Malaysians do not know much about their fellow countrymen in Sabah and Sarawak since we are separated by the vast South China Sea.

It is also common knowledge that since the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the main focus has been on the peninsula with Putrajaya exercising political control.
