KAAMATAN KDCA PENAMPANG OPEN HOUSE AT CULTURAL VILLAGE ON 28 JUN 2014

Why so late?
Datuk Sri Panglima Dr Clarence Bongkos Malakun explained that there are only 4 saturdays in May and all of them were occupied with events on which most of the members were busy. 28 June was the last saturday before the fasting month begins so it was the best date where everyone can attend.

And sure enough all the KDM leaders from all political parties including UMNO, PBS, UPKO, PKR, STAR and NGO such as KDCA itself and KSS and former SUHAKAM commissioner TS Simon Sipaun were all present.

The Kaamatan Party is non - political so even Christina Liew was invited.
Deputy Speaker of the state Assymbly Johnny Mositun represented Huguan Siou Datuk Sri Panglima Pairin Kitingan.

So when Malakun was asked about the President of the Native Affairs Department or MHEAIN who said community leaders who invites opposition leaders would be sacked,  he replied with a one-liner, "We will do what the Sarawak CM said" which does not seem to require any further clarification. Just go to the news and find out what Adenan Satem of Sarawak said ok?  Well I myself have not found out the full statement of Sarawak CM yet.

The organising committee of this party is the KDCA Penampang Coordinating Committee or in Kadazan, "Tinan Popisamo KDCA Uvang Penampang"

Ha,  the word "Popisamo" has other meaning besides coordinating. It can also mean "mediating" or "peace making".  Isnt that apt enough??
