Dear Readers,
It has been more than 10 days since this event occurred and so sorry too busy to update this blogs because I got other news to chase for the Mainstream News.
So I will only post my best photos for whoever wants to see and save them.

 KSS President and the VIPs

KSS Tawau Branch Chairman and Members

President Datuk Marcel Leiking giving his welcome speech while Jo Jo stood behind the rostrum, he hee,  Hi JO

Datuk Masidi Manjun as guest of honour giving his speech during which he expressed his displeasure of certain groups in Malaysia holding seminars that is inciting rifts amongst the rakyat instead of uniting them, as published in Daily Express on the following day.
During a short press conference for the RTM crew, he then identified the "anti-Christian" seminar held in UiTM KL as the culprit.

And checking KSS facebook too, I think !  Was I correct fellas ?

 KSS Tawau Branch getting copies of Dictionary

Kinsabina proprietor Francis Goh presenting the mock cheque for RM40 K for the cost of all the copies of the Kadazan Dictionary donated to the schools and others such as libraries and Dewan Bahasa.

The Daily Express misreported that the donation was from "Shareda" for which Francis also happens to be the President. However, Shareda is the Association for the Developers and hence the reporter made the mistake from listening to the recording of the speech by the Minister.

The donation was from Kinsabina.

Cheeers guys.

TODAY - 40th day since Penampang Cowboy Departed - Odes to John Henry Liansun

Forty days ago, one of the most colourful character in Penampang and who should call me "uncle" because he married the daughter of my first cousin, departed for good.

I did not write anything about him in this blog out of respect for his children who had requested others NOT to post pics taken during the funeral on 26 Mar 2014 on such sites as Facebook.

However, to remember our friend and relative who has a lifetime fondness of the cowboy way of life including his love for country music, I decided to write this short notes and selected pics which I hope his children would give an exemption.  His cousin Tan Sri Herman Luping has also written a dedication to him in his weekly column in Daily Express.

As I said to many relatives and friends, if only Penampang has a large grazing land areas, no doubt Henry would have acquired a small ranch to keep our own water buffaloes and a few horses to round them up, and definitely I probably would have joined him and learn to ride a horse. Sadly, in Sabah, even the padifields have all gone to become industrial and housing areas.

Nevertheless, tonight will be the 40th day prayer for our departed friend but his memories in pics will forever remain.

 A large banner for the late Henry was hung during his funeral on the 26 March 2014.  He is also well known for singing the song "Cold Cold Heart"

 A real horse fully saddled was also present for his spirit to have a ride before the final journey to the next world.

 Only son Cassianus Jr,  giving an eulogy for his father

And lots of friends and relatives came to pay their last respect in full cowboy attire, including his own childrens and in-laws.

A very fitting final farewell for a man whose love for the cowboy style was consistent throughout his life. I just wonder will he be the last cowboy of Penampang ??
