SABAH DAP Keningau, Paul Kadau regretted that the Organizing Committee of the 8th Kalimaran Festival has fixed the date of the festival from 2nd to 4th April, 2010. He said he respected and supported that Kalimaran Festival should be held every year but must be at the appropriated date and should not crashed with any other festive event especially Religious Event.
He pointed out that 2nd of April is Good Friday, 3rd of April is Holy Saturday and 4th of April is Easter Sunday, all the Christians will be busy celebrating these important events and he also know that some of the Murut people are Christians likewise, they would be busy on this particular date.
However, he continued it could be that the organizing committee of the 8th Kalimaran Festival did not realized that 2nd to 4th of April are Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Ester Sunday. So he urges them to consider changing the date of the 8th Kalimaran Festival into later date so that all the other race who are Christians can have the time to come and celebrate with the Murut community at the Kalimaran Festival.
He hoped that his suggestion of changing the dates would not be misinterpreted as if he is against holding Kalimaran Festival but is fact by changing the date more people can come and would be more merrier and meaningful. -Sabahkini
