I had previously written an entry about our sponsored event that been covered in The New Sabah Times (Sabah Local Newspaper) recently. The hardcopy of the publication arrived in my mailbox last week and this is an entry about it. Im a bit suprised that the event was actually covered in 2 pages.

Those who intended to visit Tenom for the Kalimaran feast April this year will stand a chance to bring home not one but six livestock as part of the prizes attending the event on a given period of time.

They are offering six lucky individuals, who must arrived at the centre between 7am and 9am on April 4, to bring home lucky draw prizes of either a live cow, buffalo or goat. Visitors arriving during the period will be given lucky draw ticket. So you can bring your whole family of six or more, to attend the event at the same time in order to win all six of these livestocks.

Wearing a traditional Murut costume will boost your chance to win the prizes as the contest will be judged by a panel of judges.

Pesta Kalimaran is the annual cultural event for the Muruts that honours and celebrates the Murut people and their traditions. The Murut Ethnic is particularly from the largest sub-groups of the Tagol from Nabawan and Timugon from Tenom. These events will take place at the Tenom Murut Cultural Centre from 4 – 5 of April 2009. Lots of programmes have been lined up for the festival, including the Kalimaran Queen pageant, the Maginakan, traditional Murut dances and songs, handicraft and gong-beating competition.

The event will be highlighting the rich culture of the Murut people, through colourful and fascinating cultural performances, handicraft demonstrations and sale booths plus many other exciting activities.

Im looking forward for this one.

Lampam FC was sponsored by timugon.com during the recent football competition in Kg. Sawang Melalap Tenom recently (Sawang New Year Cup). Even tho’ the team cannot make it to the semis, the overall result for the whole match is really rewarding.

6 days after the mark of new year i finally had the time to sit back and post something to this blog. It was a blast Christmas and new year. So blasted that i cannot spend a second to update this blog. Pheew~

…and to our surprise, google has updated their pagerank and timugon.com is now pageranked 1 out of 10, in less than 3 months. I have been blogging incosistently since october 2006 and the domain registered on the 14 of October 2008. All the hard work is now started to blossom and i am glad of it.

Why is pagerank so important?

So, there are loads of words and visuals happening during christmas and the eve of new year, and updates of each and every events is on the waiting list to be published. The picture editing is almost done and hopefully i can cover it by end of this week. Rocking the year pass by the timugons style! Later.

UMNO = UNITED MURUT NATIONAL ORGANIZATION??

I am not referring to the news posted in Daily Express about the umno divisional meeting in Tenom recently.

This is my question? Since when the Muruts become malay? I don’t really understand how the Muruts actually become members of umno. Yes, they have the rights to participate in whatever political party they eligible to. But why umno? Don’t we have our own local based political party that we can contribute just as the same while we are in umno? Or is it about the bling bling?! Let us get this straight; umno is a race based political party and it was established to protect the interest and rights of the malays. If you are a converted Muslim, did that makes you a malay?

I remember this controversial quote by Datuk Ali Rustam (the Malacca CM) during the BN assembly in Kota Kinabalu long time ago. He said “If you are a Muslim, eat, talk and act like one then you are malay”. My A**! I don’t know how an educated politician and a leader can actually say something stupid like that. Does that also make Ahmad Chong Abdullah a malay? Funny isn’t it?

Back to Tenom. I have lots of relatives and friends who are a converted Muslim. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not against them. We lived happily having each other around. Race and religion are two different things. You talk about it by means of your intelligence, bukan mengikut perasaan. Because it tends to lead us to a rough circumstances.

Joining umno for me, is like giving up your own pride and dignity, and lost the battle whilst the game isn’t started yet. Because you are fighting for the rights of others and assuming that you actually fought the right of your own. It is like, this kind of people is having an identity conflict. Born as a Murut lives as a malay?

“Consider this situation; you’re a delegate representing Tenom’s umno in umno’s annual assembly in PWTC, while they are shouting “hidup melayu, hidup melayu” will you do the same? Keeping mum is not the best solution because you know, at that very time, you don’t belong there.”

Umno should have never set foot in Sabah in the first place. It’s the Sabahan that grant them the gold. Take Sarawak for example, which part of its population are Sarawak Malays, they don’t even have the umno flag reserved in their closet. I urge my fellow keMurutan especially the Timugons, to reconsider their involvement in umno and enough of being fooled! Like the old saying “Dusun senang disusun, Murut senang diurut” bukan begitu Om?!

Rondo ralan, rondo guang. Only my 2 Cents!
