Ambassador Sipos joined Sabah’s indigenous communities in honoring the rice spirit Bambaazon during the annual harvest festival, which was way more than just a cultural event

During his visit to Sabah Ambassador Sipos had the honor to participate in the Kaamatan Festival organized by the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association. The main aim of the prestigious harvest festival - which is celebrated every year in May by indigenous communities in Sabah state - is to honor the rice spirit Bambaazon. 

The event not only meant a cultural gathering but also provided an excellent opportunity to celebrate, memorialize this blessed moment of the year and most importantly to meet fantastic people.
